Bit of a scare......

During Levi's 9:30pm feed we had a bit of a scare. I guess we should be counting our blessing since it has really been the first one in quite some time. Twenty minutes into his feeding he just stopped sucking on the bottle and started pushing back with his head. He pushe d back so hard that it lifted his entire chest up off my arms. Also during this time his eyes rolled back and to the right. I would snap my fingers in front of him, calling his name and could not get a response for about 15-20 seconds...then he would look my way and almost immediately his eyes would roll back and to the right again. We immediately paged the nurse and she saw what he was doing too. She said it looked like a seizure and she immediately called the doctors up to his room. We laid him down in his bed and about a minute or so later his little body finally relaxed and he seemed to come out of the seizure. The doctors looked him over and after the description of events was given, they agreed that it sounded like he had a seizure. One of the doctors said it may of been a "breakthrough" seizure. They put him back on 24 hr monitoring. Guess we wont be going "wireless" again for a little bit. LOL Anyway....the seizure happened around 950 or so and he has been peacefull ever since. Hopefully this was just a one time deal. I guess this was just our little wake up call saying that this isn't over yet. That we still need to rely on God to help us out. We just need to continue in prayer and petition.
