Met with Lily's regular Doctor today. She said her urine culture came up with nothing wrong so that was good. He said she has a virus that's like Rosiola. Basically you get a fever for 2-3 days then a rash the next day and then you are fine. No rash yet for Lily but her fever has gone back to normal so far since 10 o'clock. It's good because she's acting like LILY again...running around and playing with her toys and she has an appetite back. The Doc also explained Febrile seizures alot better than the ER doc did. Basically, a child's brain can't deal when their temp goes from normal to high fever quickly...so that's whey they seizure. He said 2/3 of kids who have one febrile seizure don't have one again - so I'm hoping that Lily falls into that group. Watching your little baby have a seizure is really scary.
