Good morning and happy Thursday! I am so glad she is home. When Elizabeth was about 9 months old, she was battling a fever off and on and one afternoon, had a seizure. Called 911, they were wonderful. Kelly drove up from work right when they were all there. Had to sit in the ER with her in a tub, pouring water over her head for what seemed like hours. They were afraid it was meningitis, which it wasn't, thank the Lord. They told me she would probably have them again with a fever but it never happened again. The fun bits of parenthood.
