Just a quick note about what happened yesterday with Emma (our oldest, 7 years old). She had a seizure around 6pm which lasted about 3 minutes, we called paramedics (we thought this had never happened to her before). She was awake but could not speak, her right side was twitching/jerking affecting from her chest upward (chest, arm, neck, cheek, and eye). After about 30 minutes her arm and chest were still numb but regaining feeling. Paramedics checked her out and she was fine, so we refused ambulance transport. They sent us to a local childrens urgent care where they in turn sent us to a local childrens hospital. They did a CT scan at the hospital and everything was normal. Around 10pm they sent us home with diastat in case she has another seizure lasting longer this time, stronger or affecting additional parts of her body. We are to call the neurologist this morning to schedule an EEG so we can hopefully figure out the cause of the seizures. We have also discovered she had her first seizure at school last week that (she just told us about). Please continue to pray for her! Thank you for all your prayers, messages and texts of encouragement. We'll keep you updated.

oh my goodness how scary!! I wonder what she was thinking and how she felt during the seizure
Oh how scary! I read something on FB late last night and Jamie and I started praying. We will continue to pray as you undergo more tests. Please give Emma a hug from all of us up here!
