It started out like a normal day. Addie wining about anything and everything, then Addie just making it to school on time. And then Tashie screaming at the top of her lungs, and it taking me 10 mins to know what she wants. I should know that it is always over a banana. (Mental Note :morning scream equals banana) Sammie walking around in a daiper until I get her to want to put clothes on, hubby sitting on the floor holding Zebbie who has been sick with ear infection watching Cartoons. Just another normal day, in the middle of the week..... yeah RIGHT!
At noon I go into the kitchen and to fix lunch, I was just trying to figure out what to fix for lunch..... and the I noticed Sammie turning on the hallway light, I thought to myself "Why in the world do the kids turn on the hallway light, there is enough light from there bedroom light, I know it is kinda dark but come on" Then I saw it, I had a front row seat to it, I saw Sammie turn out and her eyes rolled back into her head and then she fell forward hitting her head on the wall and then on the floor. A little jerk, then NOTHING; NO CRYING.... My brain was screaming "OMG what in the world... Move you idoit .... Sammie!" (Yup in that moment I became an idoit, I feel like the worst mother in the world, I watch my own daughter fall face first onto the wall and then hitting the floor and I could was stand there. These are my feelings now, I didn't think this then...bash if you must)
I finally rushed to her side and touched her; then she started to bawl. I held her, and got Tashie into the car and Zebbie into his car seat and place the bawling Sammie into her car seat.... (thought no bleeding okies that is good thing I hope). My hubby double checks the car seat, he does that everytime. I drive up to the hospital. At this point my hubby was trying to talk me out of going, I shot a look his way that he stopped in a middle of a phase.
Well I get up to the hospital explained to the nurses and doctor. I glad that it was a doctor that had seen her before, Sammie has a heart problem and has starring spells, she takes meds for both conditions. He looks over Sammie and notices that she looks daze and confused however she has stopped bawling. Then all of a sudden she threw up all over a nurse who was telling me that she thought I was crazy mother, because I shouldn't have rushed her up to the ER filled with Germs. I came unglue, I told her "You don't know what I saw, you don't understand how I feel and then to stand there and tell me I shouldn't bring my child in to the ER over this. I can't believe you, get out of the room I want a different nurse." The nurse was shocked, and the doctor laughed, "Well, lets do blood work and check her heart"
So by the time the labs came back, Sammie was acting close to normal self. Didn't want the doctor around her. The blood work came back normal and her heart rate was a little low, but that wasn't the cause of it. The doctor told me that what I had saw happen to Sammie was a petite mal Seizure. He told me that I needed to get a hold of her regular doctors (Heart, Ped, and Neulogist) to inform them of what happened. And to get her seen ASAP by the Neurologist and Ped. I sat there and looked at him with a look of worry and I knew that he saw it. He told me that it would be ok, and then said Good Luck.
I walked out of the hospital with a child with a heart problem, starring spells and now A Petite mal Seizure, and a statement that it would be ok. ( Once again, I was screaming in my head what I am going to do, I just don't know what to do) and then next week On Thurs Sammie is having Dental Work done to fix her tooth, and she will be at the Children's hospital having it down because of her heart problem.
Is anything else going to be added to my plate? If so, please leave a message so that I have time to fit it in with everything else.
Comments:
The nurse for the Neurologist doctor told me that it sounded like the starring spells were growing into that kind of seizure, petite mal. Other then that I have been waiting for the call back to see what to do, like get earlier appointments or if we have to wait a bit for the dental work I just don't know what is happening. I just know that I am scared and don't know what to do.
I hope they can get her in soon it seem like a long time to wait till next Thursday, They didnt give you any information on this type of seizure? I cant belive they told you that it would be ok.. at lest they could have done was get her into the Childrens Hospital so you didnt have to wait. I would be scared to....
The reason the doctor let her come home was because she was acting normal and her heart was doing good and she wasn't having another seizure.
:( well that is good that it her heart was doing good and she is acting normal .....I hope they do figure this out for her.
me too
