Last Thursday, Nathan and I had the scare of our lifetimes. Our youngest daughter, Gabs, hadn't been feeling well. We assumed she was just getting her 2 year molars. She had a low grade temperature and wasn't acting like herself. She was outside while Nathan and I did some yard work. She was acting fine and then she started crying, so I picked her up. Within just a couple of minutes of me holding her, she began to have a seizure. Her eyes rolled back and she started shaking. She turned white and her lips turned blue. For a minute she wasn't breathing. I yelled for Nate and told him to call 911. There were definitely a multitude of guardian angels watching over her. Within 5 minutes, the ambulance arrived. One of our neighbors had just returned home from work, so she was able to quickly run over and stay with the other kids.
When we got to the hospital, her temperature was almost 105. They said she had croup and that it was a fever induced seizure. The past few days have been really hard. Her temperature would not go down and she just wasn't getting well. So Nate took her to the doctor yesterday and she now has pneumonia.
There have been so many people who have covered us in prayer. Thank you! Please continue to pray that her recovery will be quick and she can get back to being her feisty little self!
