Mason had a rough night. He fell asleep last night at about 6:00 pm and over the course the of night, had a few seizures. At 8 am, he had a teeny-meeny seizure that lasted about 10 seconds and Gramma Barb said "Enough of this, he's getting the carbamazepine suspension". He received that at 8 am. (.3 mL). At 10 am, he had a seizure that lasted 2 minutes...his longest seizure to date. Gramma Barb gave him Tylenol to try and bring his fever down, and at 10:30, he registered an axillary temp of 104.7. (Forgive the details...its the only way I can go back for reference).
She called Chris and I...I called the nurse line at Marshfield Clinic - and we are now in transit to the ER in Marshfield. We have a concern with the seizures but we need to find out where this high temp is coming from...the nurse mentioned a few possibilities - urinary tract infection, ear infection, possibly swine flu.
So I am at home, making plans to potentially be "admitted" over at Marshfield today. Chris and Barb are on their way from the farm and are meeting me with Mason in Marshfield. It's a 2 hour drive, so I hope its going okay. Matt - I am soooo sorry to pull away your bro for your bachelor party today...we promise to make it up to you...
I am trying to call everyone with updates...but everytime things like this come up...I realize just how HUGE our family and friend network is...so I apologize if you get first-hand knowledge from the blog. Honestly though, this is probably the quickest way to get an update.
So HI HO, HI HO, It's off to Marshfield I go....
I'll post when I get a moment to breathe and collect...
