My sweet little daughter is about to be 2 in September. With her mother and my work schedules we never had to get a daycare or babysitter but for a couple hours one day a week and my mother was wonderful in helping us out but now that im changing jobs a daycare is necessary. She just got done with her first week this friday and she was an angel and everyone loves her but friday was a bad day and apparently she cried all day. Well today we woke up to a baby that was burning up. The thermometer said her fever was around 100° we gave her tylenol and all the snuggles she wanted but her fever just wouldnt go away.A couple hours ago while all 3 of us were watching a movie she started shaking and became unresponsive, her mother and i were terrified. I knew she was having a seizure and it didnt last super long but we couldnt get her to look at us or move. We hurried to the car and drove to the hospital, frankly quite recklessly and didnt have the mind or time to move her car seat. In retrospect i felt awful about it but when i saw her lips going blue i just didnt give a shit.She gained her composure once we got to the ER and they checked everything. Turns out she got hand, foot, mouth. My guess is a few of the children at the daycare probably have it too. Going forward i think were going to take fevers very seriously and maybe always have ibuprofen since tylenol did next to nothing. Maybe this post can gelp some parents in the future too, i thought a seizure from a fever could never happen to my daughter. Theyre more succeptible til about 5 years old.Dont worry though, i went back home for the car seat after everything calmed down. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2yWPkNg
