Nino Scare -

Usually Mama Duck does not like to blog about the negative but this scare was really a lesson to us with the little guy. On Good Friday little Nino (one year one week) has a febral seizure at the house. Luckily David was home because there was pure panic and hysterics (on Mama's part) as the little guy even turned blue during the episode. We did call 911 and of course New Jersey's finest were here within minutes - we really brag on these guys. They quickly got us loaded up, in the ambulance, assured all would be well and to the hospital. He had a fever of over 105 when we got there - we knew he had a fever and were watching it but guess some little guys have a tendency to shoot up there and the seizure is the body's way of regulating (and terrifying the poor parents). All is well and our little "Good Friday" miracle was home that night and feeling much better and cooler of course. The lesson learned is to trust the gut and go to the hospital even when you feel like a worrying Mom and literally be prepared for everything because we thought we were pretty prepared and were at a total loss. Thank for all the prayers and good thoughts - we have needed them and are glad to say almost back to normal sans a few additional gray hairs and worry lines. XOXOXO
