my favorite smile is back!



Isaac has made a very speedy recovery. His fever has been gone for 24 hours and his appetite is back! His smile and laughter returned late Monday evening and he's been playing like crazy ever since then. He's still pretty tired, as you can see from the photo, but he's definitely a little trooper.

What an experience this was. Unfortunately we will probably go through it many more times. Our pedi said that more than likely Isaac will have febrile seizures a couple times a year. Anytime he has a fever he is at risk to have another. 5% of babies are affected by these seizures, that's 1 in 20 children! I had no idea. I hope that no one has to ever go through this with their child. Isaac is fine now and these seizures have no long term effects but it is the scariest 2-5 minutes you'll ever go through.
