This brought tears to my eyes as I read it....oh no! This brought tears to my eyes as I read it. I totally feel your anxiety... I've spend a terrifying night with my little one (asthma) and a week (!!!)with my now 13 year old son (ruptured appendix) and on tv the drs seem so all knowing etc but in real life it all seems such a guessing game and you're just left going "wtf is going on with my child?!" Both my children suffer from night terrors and my son also has tourettes syndrome which can (combined with a night terror or cold/fever) cause seizure symptoms. It's totally terrifying. Our pediatric neurologist figured all that out... er doc and mds rarely know the mysterious stuff, gotta get to a specialist. blessings to you and your sweet Clover!

I am so relieved that she is alright! Big hugs to you both!<br /><br />The side of me that likes to find reasons for such things then cure them is thinking an allergic reaction to something. Sometimes our daily favorites or once completely benign foods, and environment can just turn on us.

It must have been terrifying for you all. A friend of mine with a daughter the same age just had an identical experience. Her daughter's diagnosis ended up being Rolandic epilepsy (sounds scary but isn't really), based on all normal test results except an "extremely abnormal" EEG. If you haven't had an EEG for Clover it might give you more information (to put your mind at ease if nothing else). She had to sleep in the hospital for the EEG which was quite an adventure too.hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022210696704550291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708635780557529859.post-81127806674512510882012-05-09T16:36:26.056-07:002012-05-09T16:36:26.056-07:00What a dose of perspective that experience must ha...What a dose of perspective that experience must have given you, right before Mother's Day too!

Once in their bed, I also began sitting up and talking while still in a dream state, and then had what seemed like a seizure. I have very clear memories of this experience. Unlike Clover, I had a very high fever, stayed in the hospital for over a week, and underwent numerous tests, including a spinal tap. They never did figure out what was wrong, but nothing similar ever happened again....I hope the same for Clover. :)Ashleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979808870351716628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708635780557529859.post-91387972619710779362012-05-09T15:15:51.470-07:002012-05-09T15:15:51.470-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ashleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979808870351716628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708635780557529859.post-53417831025983016552012-05-09T14:59:04.729-07:002012-05-09T14:59:04.729-07:00I'm so glad she came good, what a little sweet...I'm so glad she came good, what a little sweetie.

Well done Missa for being strong for her and getting you guys through. She is beautiful, and in these pictures she seems utterly perfect, I think its the third last one where she is standing strong too,a s if she has indeed come through some ordeal, only to have strengthened. <br />I am wondering as to how this could happen to her, and wonder if its some kind of allergic reaction. The body is so mysterious and children do process things in all kinds of ways. <br />I am so glad you are all ok now and wishing you lots of healing and love.<br />xxxElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058413435300593737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708635780557529859.post-52140107894506354002012-05-09T14:35:51.623-07:002012-05-09T14:35:51.623-07:00omg, "she standed right by me at the hospital...omg, "she standed right by me at the hospital" just destroyed me. sweet baby girl. i am so glad she is home safe with you. what a terrifying experience. she's a fierce little warrior, that one. i'm sure she gets it from her mama. all my love to you and your baby girl.bonfire of my vanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107950410071603461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708635780557529859.post-51305059155946077892012-05-09T14:30:35.189-07:002012-05-09T14:30:35.189-07:00Holy shit!

Even though you said in the beginning that everything turned out okay, this still makes for terrifying reading.Every hair on my skin is standing straight up and I can't stop crying. Oh my gosh! I can't even imagine how you must have felt in a the few brief moments before the paramedics arrived, in the ambulance before little Clover woke up. Poor darling, poor little Elmo. I'm so happy she's okay and hope that this NEVER EVER happens again. She's a tough little cookie for believing it all an adventure, what a show of her resilience. Must take after her composed and courageous folks. I can't imagine a calmer presence by a hospital bedside than yours no matter the internal turmoil.<br />So much love to you and yours sister, give her an extra hug and smooch for me. You'll be in our prayers and well wishes and loving thoughts.Millahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078509975778101344noreply@blogger.com
