convultions

It all started for our famliy when our youngest daughter Kimbley woke one morning burning up, I stripped her baby grow off gave calpol, then she wanted her bottle as normal, I called my husband Steven straight away, as I needed to get our eldest daughter Geraldine to school. Half

way through her bottle she was sick every where so cleaned up then resettled down with her. Steven came home to take Geraldine to school and her brother Samuel wanted to go with daddy, so off they went, just a few minutes after they all left Kimberley went ridged something in me told me to put her in the middle of the floor and phone 999, the service centre spoke to me all the time that the ambalance was on the way, whilst she was fitting, when she was fitting her eyes rolled back arms and legs jolting around back arching, I had to check she was still breathing it is so scary, then she was bringing up sick and fluid, this went on for around 6 to 7 mins but felt more like 15, once the amblance got to us they gave her oxygen, Kimberley didn't start to respond till we got to the hospitail which would take half an hour to reach by car. So it was blue lights all the way and straight into resus, she finally cried out when we reached the A&E, what a fantastic sound my child is alive, i don't know how other mums feel when our darlings are crying loudly, in a normal situation but it gets me down, well it did till now.  

We had a 3 night stay in hosiptial as it was'nt till the second day that she started to be her normal self and all the results of blood test came back showing that it was all due to a virus she had, my advice would be to place them in the middle of the floor call 999 stay calm ( easier said than done but something just takes over and it happens well did for me every body is different). and keep talking to them just to let them know you are there, they apparently don't even relise anything has happened but made me feel better,The emergency service call centre tell you what to do and they stay with you till the ambalance crew arrive they are so good at what they do, very skilled people indeed.   

Hope this has has helped, I really feel for you and anyone who has had this experiance, it is frighting cause you feel so helpless.   

 Unfortunatly she has had another episode since, but did not have a fever, so she is under investigation. Will let you all know what that out come is. If anyone has any advice for me let me know thank you.
