This is weird....the only other parent I know that has had a kid have a febrile seizure was Brianna's Blake when she was a baby. A couple months after that, my Blake had one too. Now a couple months later. Brianna and family were over for dinner when Finn had seizure...what are the odds?
Sept 8: It was so weird, he was totally fine, no signs of illness and playing happily, then Gabe brought him inside because he was acting tired (it was around his bed time). I held him for a while and he was cuddly, but them kinda went limp and wasn't responding. I thought he had fallen asleep at first, but then his eyes were rolling back. It was kind of scary, but I was pretty sure I knew what was going on. Brianna and Harmon said just go to the ER, and they would watch the kids, so we went to the Urgency Center right up the road. They said they couldn't do anything for him other than call an ambulance. I asked if they could at least take his temp. Poor baby, it was 104.4 rectal. We then came back home and Gabe stayed with the kids. Brianna drove me to 212 Medical Center so I could sit with Finn in the back, then got picked up and they headed home. They checked him out, and said he was fine (probably virus) and sent us home a few hours later.
Update: His temp would spike to 104.4 in the evening for the next 2 days. Then 103, 102, 101 next couple days. Then no fever and woke with rash, which looked like Roseola to me, but Nurse convinced me to go in for Strep Test. I about fell off my chair when the rapid was positive. I get everyone tested due to Campbell's PANDAS and Miles and I also were positive. No one had any sign of illness. Several days later the cultures all come back negative. So what does that mean?!?! After day 7 of Amox, Finn wakes up with a bad rash covering his whole body. Allergic to Amox says the doctor! Benedryl seemed to make it worse and the next day it was covering his body, all the dots combined together to form huge welt like things. It took a good 2 weeks to totally clear. Will this be the end of this saga?!? (I'm editing this months later, funny I wrote that, because as I know know, that was definitely not the end of that saga.)

Pictures don't really do it justice, it looked horrible. Poor baby.
