My 2 year old just had her first febrile seizures
My daughter who is 2 year 2 months just has two febrile seizures 4 hours apart. She was sick with a high fever the day before me up to 194. The next day she woke up happy and 99.4 temp. We were eating breakfast an hour after she woke up and BAM. She collapsed and started seizing. My husband and I called 911 and she was brought to the ER where her temp was normal and they said it was febrile. They sent us home and 20 minutes after we got home she had another one. we brought her back to the ER where they admitted her to the neurologist. She had a 24 hour EEG and an MRI that came back completely normal.
To say I am traumatized is an understatement. I’m now terrified this will happen everytime she is sick. I don’t know how I will get through this cold/flu season approaching. I know I have to stay ontop of her fevers but I can’t shake this horrible fear that she will keep having them. Has anyone else had this? Where there was more then 1? Did they always get them? I need to hear real life experiences to help me prepare and move forward.
