Just a heads up. Babies and fevers.

So the scariest thing that has ever happened to me just happened. My 16 month old daughter was doing fine around 8 o'clock completely normal. Around 9 she got tired and fell asleep and at 10 she woke up screaming and was burning up. Then she seized. Only lasted about 30 seconds but then struggled to breathe for a bit and was in and out of it. We called 911 as she started seizing. The medics found she had a 103 temp. She was rushed to the hospital. Turns out she had contracted influenza A. She is fine just sick.

Apparently it can be common for a baby to have this happen with a high fever. It's still important to seek immediate help but I write this to hopefully give everyone something to hold on to when/if this happens.

I have never been so scared and helpless. Please remember to wash your hands during this cold season and keep them close. Love to everyone.
