Big scary last 24 hours for us!

Felix ended up being raced to hospital in ambulance due to seizures. Thankfully, we are home now...but the scariest thing!

My parents were babysitting him...I get a call to say that he is in the ambulance heading to their local hospital...It takes us about 25 minutes to get there and I arrive to see our little boy, stripped down to his nappy with 8+ wires hanging off him, 2 drips, and a oxygen mask. He's not breathing properly or responding to either Matt or I. There's at least 4 doctors and 6 nurses around him.

His major seizure lasted nearly 20 minutes which was really concerning for the doctors as it took ages to stabilise him. He then had another seizure which resolved pretty quickly with some heavy duty medication.

They were treating him for menigitis, encephalitis and seizures and were talking about to a lumbar puncture.

After about 3 hours, we were transferred to the children's hospital. 5 hours following the first seizure, Felix starts to wake up and says "raf" (giraffe) and points to the mobile hanging above the bed next door. BEST WORD I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!!! Our little boy was back!

Was transferred to his ward at 3:30am, had a blood test at 4am and finally got to sleep at 4:45am (to be woken by kids in next bed at 6am...though thankfully Felix still kept sleeping through to 7:30am)

So scary...and they suspect that it may have been in response to the flu vaccine that he had on Monday...though can't confirm that!

Anyway...he's okay now...home and asleep! We're heading down to our Easter holiday tomorrow with the Paediatrician's blessing!!!

Very very scary! Thank God for modern medicine and incredibly competent health practitioners!!!
