What a night!

Well, last night was our first ever visit to the ER. The Boy is fighting a cold and came home from daycare yesterday with a fever. He was acting normal though and even ate dinner. Since he did not have a temp when he went to bed I decided not to fight the fight of trying to get medicine in him (never a easy thing). About 2:30 in the morning he woke up and came to get me to come lie down with him (happens just about every night). After lying with him a few minutes he suddenly sat up yelling then had a febrile seizure. Very scary!!! Since we have never been through ANYTHING like that before I decided a trip to the ER was warranted. Fortunately it was as I thought - "just" a febrile seizure. We got back home about 5:30 and got a little sleep. Not a fun night nor one I ever want to repeat again.
