Scariest 30 Seconds of My Life

On the morning of February 2nd, Jordy had a seizure in our bed at 5:45am. It was the scariest 30 seconds of my life, hands down. He had had a cold with a lot of drainage and had been coughing all night. In the middle of the night we brought him in to our bed to help him sleep better and so we could be closer to him. THANK THE LORD is all I can say. There were definitely angels in our home that night because this all happened on a Saturday morning (so Jeremy was home) and while my parents were visiting. When the seizure started I initially thought he was choking to death because he had so much phlem in his throat. I screamed for Jeremy because he was sleeping in the boys room (Logan came into our bed also and Harper was sleeping on my chest)who immediately rushed to the rescue. He instantly tried sweeping out his mouth etc. Again we thought he was choking and then went into a seizure. After approx. 20-30 seconds, the seizure stopped. He was not really there though. We immediately rushed to the ER. Again, angels were with us as my parents were there to stay with Logan and Harper.

This was in the ER on the morning of the seizure

After numerous tests in the ER, they sent us home. We had an MRI done the following week. We took him to the mall for some Jordy/Mommy Daddy time before heading to the hospital. He managed to find Olaf along the way!

Waiting to get started with his MRI

My sweet sweet boy sleeping after his MRI. He had to be put under for the MRI and that in and of itself was very traumatic for everyone. We had about 8 different med people in the room trying to get the anestesia into him. He was poked (or pointed as he would say)10-15 times. Needless to say, he was not a happy camper and we all were a bit traumatized. The MRI came back normal and we thought we were free and clear. It was just a phenomenon as is the case for many children who have a seizure one time. We did however have one more test to do with him, an EEG (aka brain wave test)
His EEG was last Friday and much to our disbelief, the results of it came back with a high risk of seizures for our Jordy! It is all still a little unbelievable to me but I also am so very very thankful that this is all it is. I definitely recognize the severity of this circumstance but I also look at my baby and know that he is a happy, healthy, (besides this risk which we hope will be contained with the medicine), active, smart little man. My mindset is that we will help our child get through this and whatever obstacle may or may not present itself. He just started his medications two nights ago and often times he fights medicines but he is taking it like a champ and has been so brave throughout this entire situation. I am so proud of my Jordo!!
