Tuesday

This was my view of my daughter most of the day on Tuesday. We spent the better half of Tuesday and that evening in the emergency room at Texas Children's Hospital. She had a seizure at school that lasted longer than we all felt was safe so we took a little ambulance ride and spent the day with the good folks at TCH.

The seizures are not dangerous they tell me, just scary for her and for those of us with her when they happen. Luckily we discovered she had them last year and now the school and I know what to look for when they are about to happen.

Catherine knows what they feel like coming on and can try to warn her teachers. She did a great job of it on Tuesday, letting them know she felt sick and that she needed to get to the nurses office.
The school nurse was great with her and they called me immediately. I am so glad we live so close and I was able to be there very quickly.



She was fine and slept most of the time we were in the hospital, waking up long enough to have some chicken nuggets and fries and then returning to sleep.

We got home around 9pm and she watched a little television and sat between Niky and Isabel who were hesitant to let her leave the room without them. They are very protective and hated having to stay with their father while we were at the hospital. Much happier when we got home where they could take care of her themselves.

She is fine now and we have an appointment to see the neurologists next week to try to find out what causes the seizures. For now she is glad the weekend is almost here. Lots of things to do and see and we are headed out to the country to see her Uncles and Aunt Cam.



Today she is all smiles even though I made her get up early.

I much prefer this view to the first one, don't you?
