Our little scare

For those of you who didn't hear, Emily and Wyatt have suffered from a head cold since last Sunday. Emily got really bad so I took her to the doctor Tuesday afternoon. The doctor said she had an ear infection, but she was real lathargic and spacy eyed and quit really eating. about 7PM I came back into the living room to find that she was seizuring. I don't know for how long it had been going on before I caught it but her whole left side of her face, arm, and leg was convulsing. We immediatly called 911 and she was rushed to the hospital where she was admitting later on that night. She had numerous tests done, CAT scan, chest x-ray, urine culture, and spinal tap to name a few. Thank goodness there was nothing unusual for I feared the worse like a brain tumor or a brain bleed. I took Wyatt to the hospital with me to stay as they continued to monitor Emily after she was admitted. Then later on that night Wyatt started to get worse as well. I took him down to the ER to get checked and they began to run the same tests on him. Two kids each getting a spinal tap in one night was very hard to cope with. Wyatt was not admitted because we knew he would be observed anyway with Emily the next couple of days. The next day they did a EEG on Emily where they placed 27 probes on her head and tested her brain activity. The results we won't get till next week. The doctors seem to think that it was a one time occurance because her sodium levels were so low and she was so dehydrated. We just got home today, Friday, and their test results for their spinal tap showed nothing so they let us come home. The twins are still sick with a head cold and Emily is super sensitive to being touched right now. We hope the results to her EEG come back normal, but know that we are all finally back home and doing well. Thanks to all who continue to pray for us and for those who are continuing to bring us dinners. Your love for us is overwhelming. We will try to keep everyone posted.
