The first febrile seizure<\/h2>\n

The first febrile seizure that you witness with your child is just terrifying. <\/span>It is the few minutes in which a mother faces her biggest fear: Loss of a child.<\/span><\/p>\n

It happened on a Sunday around noon. My 3 year old daughter, Anne, had an infect and due to that also a high fever. She lay besides me and asked when we will have lunch. And then suddenly, she threw both arms up and began to shake uncontrollably. I grabbed her and realized that she is completely stiff. That was the point where I fell in complete panic<\/strong>. Her eyes were turned back, she was unconscious and she began to become blue around the lips. We dialed 911 (112 in Europe) and were brought to the hospital where we spent two nights. <\/span><\/p>\n

As the fear from losing my daughter was ceasing my brain started to kick in again and I started to fire questions at the paramedics<\/strong> as well as the emergency physicians: What was the reason for the seizure? What should I have done differently? How can I see such a seizure coming?<\/span><\/p>\n
