one year ago

It was 9:09 a.m. one year ago today when I got a call from Michael that he had called 911. Morgan had a seizure and the next two days were complete misery. (Here's the entire story.)

It's been a year without seizures. That doesn't mean I haven't worried. There's been times when she's spiked a fever and I was afraid to let her out of my sight. There's been times when her stomach's bugged her and she wouldn't eat so I chased her around with Gatorade to make sure she was hydrated. I can promise you that her having another seizure is always in the back of my mind. It probably always will be.

I took a little video of Morgan when she was in the ER last year. I don't think anyone has ever seen this. She had just woken up from a long nap and was hungry. I gave her some of my quesadilla and she seemed to be feeling better. Less than 30 minutes after this she had another seizure. Worst thing I've ever had to witness.


I'm so thankful and blessed that Addison and Morgan are healthy and happy. Hopefully we'll never have to go through it again.
