hospitalized due to seizures again

After what started as a 3 day tummy bug,we are now in the hospital again for the second time in 2010. Brooklyn had 2 seizures at home in a 12 hour period. We made the choice to bring her in to the hospital. Pulling in to the parking garage she had a seizure in the carseat. I pulled her out and we rushed in to the ER while she was actively seizing. While in the ER they tested her blood sugar and discovered that it was 42 very low. She was having light seizures "staring spells" about every 5-10 min that were lasting about 30 seconds a piece(during these she did not loose resperation). The nurses in the ER could not start an IV line (that she desperately needed), after sticking her 15 times they decided to send her up to the anesthesia department to have them try. When we made it up to the room she had another bad seizure. During this one I remember the nurse yelling "get a trachea tube kit!!" My heart sank all I could think was PLEASE GOD NO!!! I was terrified to say the least!! after the seizure ended, the doctor decided that it would be best to put her under anesthesia to start the IV line that she needed very badly. they took her away from us and I was so scared to just be away from her, and have no clue what was happening to her. The doctor walked out and I nearly ran at him to have him tell me that every thing went great (after all, they were only starting an IV). Things did not go great, the doctor said that it was horrible. While under heavy anesthesia she had 3 severe seizures and the only line that they could start was in a main vessel in her neck. (very scary to hear that your baby girl is having violent jerking seizures while a doctor is sticking a sharp object in a vital artery) They gave her high doses of glucose and anti seizure medications. He said that she did not have to have a tracheostomy. I burst into tears (tears of joy, tears of worry, tears of sadness, tears just because I could just handle no more) the doctor did something I needed most at that moment. He took my hand and started to say a prayer for god to keep our baby girl in his hand and to heal her little body. He also prayed for god to give me some much needed strength in this time. While sitting in the waiting room I just cried feeling so bad for my poor baby girl and that she was having to go through all of this. After she recovered enough we were able to go back and be with her, seeing her was was very reassuring. In anesthesia they monitored her for about 30 minutes then she was sent back to the ER, to wait for a room up stairs.

Today she is doing much better, the doctor even said that there was a possibility of going home tomorrow, but he wants to do a swallow study and a hearing screen. He also wants to address the low blood sugar issue with her endocrinologist, to make sure he isn't concerned that this will be an on going thing. The difference in her health from yesterday is absolutly AMAZING!! She is feeling much much better!!!
