Three's NOT the Charm


Last night Waverly had a terrible night of seizures.  Three to be exact.  That's three times she stopped breathing, three times of seeing my baby blue, three bouts of shaking and the ensuing twitching that occurs afterwards until she is able to drift off to sleep.  Last night, three was NOT the charm for us.  It was scary.  I stayed up most of the night watching her.  So today I went ahead and set up her ambu bag, hooked up to oxygen, to lay right beside her head as she sleeps.  So that if it happens again, we are all set to force oxygen into her lungs.  Because even though she's got oxygen going in through her nasal cannula, and we turn it way up when she's seizing and not breathing, if she's not moving any air it's not getting into her body.  So we will have to bag her.  

I'm not sure what last night was about.  She's been on her new antibiotic for this UTI since Saturday.  And she's fine during the day.  Please pray that tonight is a better night for her, that we won't have to "bag her" or take her to the hospital, that these seizures would TAKE A HIKE!

  1. Praising the Lord for no seizures last night! Praying this whole night time seizure thing does not become a trend!

  2. My heart just aches for you that you have to do all this and that it makes Waverly so uncomfortable. Prayers from here for quiet, restful nights and no more UTI's!
