Stomach virus causes seizure.

Brookie has had the stomach virus for the past 3 days and has been trowing up every thing she eats and drinks (including her medicine). With out having her Calcium, Anti seizure, and heart meds she get even sicker. Tonight (march 5, 2010) Brookie was taking a bath with her little sister, and they were playing and having fun. I felt Brookie fall over and hit my arm while I was washing the baby. I thought that she had just lost her balance so i tried to sit her back up then I realized that her eyes were rolling back in her head and that she was not breathing and starting to become blue around her mouth, her body was very tense. She was having a seizure. I started to yell for Ben all while trying to calm Bryson (who has never seen her have a seizure) and reassure him that his baby sister is going to be okay. After about 3 minutes and Ben having to do some rescue breaths she came out of it. She is resting right now and we are going to watch her to make sure that she doesn't have anymore within 24 hours, and since it didn't last longer than 4 minutes they doctor told us that she didn't need to go to the hospital unless there was something else we were concerned about.
