There are no pictures to describe how hard this last week has been for me, mommy, daddy and even Izzyman. All of the fun started last friday when my mommy took me to get my two year check up. Yes, that included shots and my first flu vaccine. (flu mist) It was not fun and I cried for a few minutes, but was up and playing in no time. I felt so great that my mommy let me spend the night with Maw so that they could go on a date.
All was well until the next morning when my mommy came to pick me up and I was complaining of my legs being sore from the shots, as well as running a low grade fever. Mommy took me home and gave me some tylenal and we went about the rest of our day. That night mommy's cousin (Katie and Greg) invited us over for dinner and it was yummy. After being there for about thirty minutes, I began feeling really, really bad. My mommy felt of my forhead, only to find out that I was burning up. Mommy and daddy took me home and put me in a lukewarm bath, in an effort to get my temperature down. After getting me out and wrapping me up, a few seconds later I became unresponsive. My parents began panicking and saw that I was not breathing and became stiff. Daddy called 911 and took me to the emergency room right away. Long story short, I had a febrile seizure. It scared me and everyone else to death. Two days later I had another one.
Moral of the story to all mommies out there, be careful with the flu mist. It is a live virus, which can give the virus to you. That was what happened and it was my mommy's worst nightmare. My mommy said she would never do that again and I am so glad. I had a high fever for five days, had two seizures and got the flu. Wheewww. Glad this week is almost over...
