10 months old.....and trip in an ambulance.

Adi is 10 months old today and gave us quite a scare through the night....Eric woke her up to give her the rest of her bottle that we had started at about 8:30 when we put her to bed but she really wasn't all that interested in it...and shortly after she started eating, she started convulsing and went stiff....the next 3-4 minutes were pretty intense - we didn't really know what was going on...it seemed like she was choking, her breathing was sporadic, and her eyes had rolled back....by this point she had gone limp and was completely unresponsive - thankfully after laying her on the floor...within about 45 seconds (seemed like 10 minutes)...she came out of it....Paramedics were on their way....but it's good that the situation didn't seem as dire at this point because we waited 25 minutes for the ambulance to arrive...at this point we could have already been to the hospital and back.....once in the hospital we determined she had a febrile seizure brought on by what we think was a rapid spike in her body temperature. When we put her to bed at 8:30 she was absolutely fine...and when Eric woke her up...she was burning up. We finally got home at 3 am this morning....Adi is fine...crawling around and into everything like usual with 2 sleep deprived parents just trying to "make it" through the day. Bedtime tonight can't come soon enough!
