So April has been a real kicker sir. Between Easter which was befreezing cold and Spencer starting Pee Wee soccer(Pictures to come), we had a scary Monday. Cameron woke up Monday the 6th with a fever. We promptly gave him some Motrin and he spent the rest of the morning cuddling up. We went and got Spencer off the bus and came home and Camerons fever was getting higher. It was time for more meds and I gave him some. He started throwing a fit and I picked him up and grabbed his blanket and wrapped it around him. He was cuddling up when he just went limp. I turned to look at him and he started to seize! His eyes were rolling and it was kindof just jerky. I walked around debating on if I should call and thinking is this really happening. When he stopped breathing. That was it. I called and the ambulance was on the way. After his seizure stopped(which I felt lasted forever-but was more like 1-1.5 minutes, he started breathing again.He was still unconscious, not quite coming out of it yet. But by now, I am outside waiting with Spencer in the stairwell still holding Cameron. Just waiting for the ambulance- which took over 10 minutes! to get here. My upstairs neighbor Chune came home and realized what was happening. He took Cameron and held him and I was able to get a hold of our good friend Tarah and she took Spencer. I could'nt get a hold of Scott, as he was up at school. The ambulance and the paramedics came and took cam. I jumped in and Cameron started to come out of it. they were trying to get an I.V. in but couldnt. Poor kid. Our neighbor Carrie came home and saw us leaving in the ambulance and called her hubby ben to tell him. Now this is amazing. Carrie called ben,Ben was at the Nielsons, he tried calling Scott and couldnt get him. sam Called Craig Louder(another 1st year) and he was eating lunch with Scott. They told him. He checked his phone and had 15 missed calls. He called me and we were just passing the Vet School in the ambulance! Talk about fast. Sam was able to come and get Scott and take him home where Scott was able to get the truck and getto the e.r. in 15 min.
By now, Cam is awake, and not happy. They have succeeded in getting an IV in, but had to wrap it to a board with gauze because Cameron kept trying to pull it out. It was so sad. He kept crying and saying off.. ouch.
