So as you all know it has been a very interesting few days here in Irvine. We came down on Thursday morning. We have had soo much fun hanging out with the Anselmo's (friends from Santa Clarita). Thursday was very interesting though. After we arrived we had plans to go to Disneyland. Noah was feeling hot but we took his temperature with a thermometer that I am not used to and got a reading of 98.5 degrees. So we thought it was nothing. Anyhow we went to Disneyland and had a ball. Noah was not very perky like he normally is, but we had fun. I was able to go to Club 33 with Chad which was an adventure in it's own right. It is an exclusive club that is above Pirates and overlooks the park. Very plush!!
Anyhow, we left Disneyland at about 6:30 pm and went by In N Out for dinner (of course). We got home and put Noah in his high chair to eat. He took about 2 bits then as Buffy put it he stiffen up and his eyes got really big. He started a seizure. I picked him up out of the chair trying to hold him tight and get out to the car. As we got to the garage he was seizing harder and starting to turn blue and foam at the mouth. VERY SCARY!!!! We called 911 and I am sure not by accident the ambulance was right around the corner and her in about 20 seconds. VERY BLESSED!! The 911 operator in the meantime had walked us through how to help him and he was breathing and back with us. On a side note, I do have to say that I am a very lucky man to have Buffy as a wife, she (and this is a quote from the ambulance driver) is the calmest mother EVER in that situation. Anyhow the hospital is really close and we were able to get him there and the doctors were very nice. Of course the tests had to be done. Blood drawn, Urinalysis (by cath), X-ray, IV, poor Noah was poked every which way. Not to mention that the temperature was taken through the rectum. His temperature when we got to the hospital was 103.5 which is could have been there all day for all we know.
So the final diagnosis was that he had a febrile seizure which is caused by having a high temperature and apparently is common. Noah has since been like himself other then a few fever episodes at night. I would definitely like to say that ALL of the prayers that were given on Noah's behalf were felt and we thank you very much.
We will be home tonight and can't wait to see everyone.
Love you All.
