So as i said in the wedding post Eliza had a convulsion on sat while we were at wedding. Well the next morning she had a nother convulsion this time in the shower...scary she hasnt done that before. So we did what we always do give her some medecine and keep watching her temp. Which seemed fine in the day until about 3 in the afternoon when she had another convulsion this time on the couch but had a fever of 40 . We called the ambulance this time and they took her to hospital as this was her 23rd convulsion and no other syptoms of sickness. Hans went with her as he is better in emergency then me and i stayed home with the kids....but i dont sleep while he is gone and stayed up getting all the clothes for school and work ready and house organised incasaae i was to go to hosptial with eliza the next night. Well eliza had another convulsion as she entered the ward and then another the next day when i was there with her. She had never had her convulsions in hopsital before i really felt the lords hand while we were in hospital as we were not at our usual hopsital with our normal paed and the doctor seeing eliza in hopsital took her convulsions seriously and thought it was time she go on epilepsy medecine. we were a little hesitant but wanted to get her some help more then just oain relief medecine to bring her fever down. So after she started this medecine her temp reached 40 again and she did not convulse. I know it also helped that they foudn she had a uti and was now on antibiotics. Hospital for eliza this time was harder as she is older and just wanted to go home and play. She was so happy when aunty maree came with annie , lucia and grammy to visit and waited for the end of the day when dad would come with the kids. Also thanks to technology well when we had service in the hospital , she loved hearing messages from all our family in minnesota especially grandpas voice message song for Eliza Jane...she listened to that over and over and over again ...pretty sure the nurses had it in their heads by the end of her stay.
Since being home Eliza isback to her normal cheeky fun self a little extra naughty but who wouldnt be after being couped up in the hosptial for so long. She is taking her medecine morning and night and we will go see her paed in a few weeks for review and plan.
Thankyou to all our friends and families prayers while eliza was in hospital. we love you all.
