Earlier this year, we had a terrifying experience with Peyton while we were in Oklahoma for my sister's National Basketball Tournament. Peyton had her very first febrile seizure. At the time, we didn't know what was happening, except for our daughter not responding, then throwing up everywhere. Thankfully, God took great care of us and Peyton is fine. She hasn't had another seizure thus far and that is a great sign!
However, it is November in Indiana! This is not a good combination, because as most of you know...Indiana has NO CLUE what the normal climate should be! Take this past week for example, Tuesday they were calling for snow flurries and these past few days, it has been in the low 60's. Although I love the warm weather, my children don't do well with the changes! November is the season opener for ear infections!
Thus we wrap up the viscious cycle! Febrile seizures are caused by sudden spike in temperature, Peyton's sudden spike in temperature was caused by her 4th ear infection, ear infection caused by cold...you get the picture! The doctors said that she could continue to have these seizures until she is about 5 yrs old or she possibly may never have another one. But since she has them, there is a higher chance that Gavin could have them as well. So, we are praying hard, treating every running nose as fast as we can, and constantly carrying a themometer and motrin/tylenol with us every where we go!

I'll be praying the kiddos can keep clear this season. My kids get sick constantly so I have no advice to give :(
