The unknown!

We had a scare last night, a BIG scare! We found our Princess on her bedroom floor, limp and unable to move :( we tried rousing her but all she could manage was to follow us with her eyes!
She had been in the shower 10 minutes prior and had dried herself and had wrapped the towel around her head. Does not remember a thing apart from sitting on her bed.

An ambulance was promptly called while we sat with her calmly calling her name, crying and even though I don't believe in God, praying!

As an enrolled nurse everything about this screamed alarm bells. The word 'stroke' kept springing to mind but would not be said out loud in fear of
Mr Crankypants really losing his cool.

Turned out our Princess was having a seizure, a first, and I couldn't pick it. We were rushed into the children's hospital with a swap from paramedic to MICA along the way. She seized so badly in the MICA that they had to pull over to get the drip into her arm and then had to assist her with breathing. At this stage I was sitting in the front, everything feeling unrealistic.

She continued to seize at the hospital and they were about to intubate her for a CT scan when she woke up! So relieved that no ventilation was required :) and her CT scan came back clear.

After a few hours Princess was sitting up in bed, talking with no recollection of what had happened to her. She has been her normal self since. Because of this the Doctors think its likely that this could happen again :(

So now we are in some warped type of limbo. We will be prepared with what is necessary to deal with the seizures but will need to keep a vigilant eye on her. She really won't like us cramping her style!!

Further tests in a few weeks when things may have settled down may give us some answers but for now we just have to play a waiting game.
