The scare of a lifetime

Today was a scare of a lifetime. I was awoke today by Gabby hitting me ( She sleeps with me) at 7:59 am. Crap I though I just over slept. I spring out of bed yell up at the girls that they have 15 min to get ready and out the door for school. They came rushing down the steps, and by 8:04 am they were dressed, and getting hair brushed and teeth brushed. I then go get my phone and look down to see I have missed a call from the school telling me they had a 2 hour delay. I laughed at my own stupidity. Tell the kids and we all sit down to just take a breather. Gabby was happy playing with her toy, and all of a sudden she bellows out this blood curdling scream... I pick up her, and all of a sudden her arms start to jerk, I sit down....then her hole body starts to jerk, harder and harder....and this point I am yelling for Kiera to call 911, Gabby is having a Grand Mal Seizure and has stopped breathing. She is still shaking and I am screaming to the 911 operator our address. Please just get here, please fast..... She is still not breathing. I then realise her throat had locked up and even CPR was not going to help. She could not take a breath. her chest was not moving, Her face was going pale, and her little lips where turning blue. Kiera sees whats going on and starts screaming "Don't let her die, Mommy don't let her die" I am at a loss on what to do..... The next three minutes seemed to be the longest of my life.Her body was limp, her eyes were getting blood shot, and her face was turning blue. I am crying just holding her. Her eyes were rolling into the back of her head. I just kept begging her to take breath. Please Gabby please just take a breath. Finally I decided to run outside with her to wait on the EMS. As the cold air hit her she took the first breath since the seizure started. Her arms went back her head went back and the sound I had been waiting on. Her gasp..... The blue receded, and color started to return to her face. Tom Stahl showed up and took her from my arms. The EMS followed right behind him. I was officially a wreck! Sent the kids next door, ran down the alley way with no shoes on still trying to buckle my bra and jumped into the EMS and off we went. The whole way over her breathing was a little off but I finally herd a faint cry, we were almost to the ER (the ems crew kept me up to date the whole ride). I had not been able to get a hold of John yet. He was still at work, and currently we only have one cell phone. who ever has Gabby has the cell phone. I have this feeling of helplessness. He had no clue what was going on....... We arrived at the ER. I call my mom to see if she had found John yet. She had! He was on his way over. The ER staff got Gabby stabilized, and found out she had a temp of 101.9. Well For Gabby that is high. She normally don't run temps. She goes  hypothermic. In the 2 1/2 years since her birth she has never ran a temp. They got her throat suctioned out, and she finally started to breath normal. John arrived and Gabby was screaming. They did a head to toe check up, blood work and x-rays and everything came back clear. Over the next two hours her pulse went back to normal, her temp stayed down and with a phone call to Dr. Wiley he gave us the clear to take her home. She is on a new antibiotic, and breathing treatments every 4 hours. Also Tylenol and Ibuprofen  rotating every 4 hours. We go in tomorrow for a check up with Dr. Wiley and hopefully get the all clear to get the tonsils and adenoids out on the 31st.  They are massive, and made it 10x worse today when her throat locked up. I learned a valuable lesson today. That living in a small town does pay off. I have never seen a group of people move so fast and swift. They made me feel safe. I handed her to tom knowing he has the knowledge to help her. I am grateful for the Payne EMS crew. Each of them gave up their morning in a matter of minutes to help us. Words can express what that means to me. I pray I will never have to experience this again, nor my children. We now have a "plan of order" on the fridge on what to do if this happens again. i also am gong to pack an emergency bag just in case with all Gabby's emergency stuff in it. Thank you all for your prayers. XOXO
