I felt helpless today as I carried my little 18 month niece into the ER as she was having her third seizure of the day. Other great highlights: 5 hours in the ER, eating crappy food, watching a child get an IV, watching a child have two more seizures in the hospital (eyes rolling, unresponsive, twitching, hands clenched, eyes glazed like a doughnut) (helpless again), doctors telling us nothing is wrong after the tests are done, WARNING NEXT COMMENT MAY BE CRUDE- watching nurses shove something up a baby's bum, watching baby pee on them afterwards, holding exhausted-drugged child while waiting for results and to check out, watching child unable to stand or balance because drugs are in the system. And this was only my afternoon.
P.S. She is fine now, they have changed her medication.

It is the worst thing ever to watch someone you love in pain and not being able to do a dang thing. I'm sorry you had to experience that. Was it a niece on the Robison or Bartholomew side?
I hope all's well!! Missed you today and thinking about you now and forever. :) Loves, Ash
Oh poor little baby! I am so glad they got the meds fixed.
You are a wonderful Aunt Rachel. I hope she will outgrow her seizures!! My sister Natalie had them when she was a baby and outgrew them around 7 or 8.
Hang in there!!
Hey Rachel- So sorry to hear about your niece. I hope they were able to figure out what was wrong & that she is on the road to recovery. I bet it met alot to her to have her favorite Aunti with her :) Your niece & her family are in my prayers.
Keep Smiling :)

Wow, Jessica's little baby had to go to the hospital a week after her birth because she couldn't eat or breathe, I hate being so far away I can't help. Maybe it is worse being there and not being able to do anything. I am so sorry Cho. I am glad things are better now.
