Last week was our most harrowing week as parents yet. On Tuesday night Jack had a fever induced seizure. Frightened out of our minds we immediately called 911 and the paramedics rushed us to the hospital. Jack's seizure lasted 2 hours - the longest and worst two hours of our lives. It took a few days, but by Thursday afternoon Jack was stable with no fever and the doctors had ruled out all serious causes for the seizure. I had a similar seizure as a baby, and from what we here they are somewhat common. We were able to bring Jack home Thursday night. Since then he has been recuperating well and by today was back to his old self - taking toys from his sister and protesting naps.
We were really lucky to have numerous close friends step in to watch Sadie and help us out while Jack was in the hospital. It was a crazy time that is thankfully behind us now.
We haven't ventured to take Jack out yet, but I know that it will not be long before he's back on the swings at the playground!

That must have been terrifying. I'm SO glad he is all better. You guys deserve a drink, or two.
Thanks, Mary. Our nerves aren't quite settled enough for a drink yet, but I'm sure they will be soon!
