K, I have 2 sisters and they are both married, so today we were supposed to do Christmas with me, my sisters and their kids/husbands and my dad.
I live with Sister #2. We were going to Sister #1's for our XMas get together. Sister 2's youngest boy(he is 2 years old) was sick and not feeling well and was running a little fever, so my Bro in law was gonna stay at home with my nephew until either my nephew seemed to feel better(at which point they would show up later) or just stay home.
As me, my sister and my other nephew and niece are just about to head out the door, we hear my bro in law screaming for us.
My 2 year old nephew had a seizure right out of the blue. It was fucking scary. My brother in law had him in his arms when he started the seizure. My sister freaked out for a half second, mad dash for the phone and whatnot. Call 911 and they show up within 1 minute(there's a fire station right down the street so the firefighters showed up at the same time).
Basically my nephew was brought to the hospital and he's being watched overnight, but it looks like it was just because of his fever(which wasn't that high, but everyone is different). He's baby-talking and trying to rip out the suctions cups and all that crap off of him, so to me that looks very promising.
Basically, Christmas was cancelled tonight.
The last time I felt like that was when we got a call from the hospital, they had found my dad after he had tried to kill himself.
Nope. My dad had cancer and basically the whole year he had it was a pretty crappy year. After my dad had it my dad's mom and then dad had cancer and both died. Also the fever and seizure could be caused by some other illness altogether and not be coincidental. Why is Christmas canceled for you? You still got two days till it's Christmas. Also the kid is ripping off the suction cups because he's a kid and they probably make him feel uncomfortable.
What I am experiencing isn't that bad but I really don't feel the spirit of Christmas at all. It's actually the first time for the family to spend it without my younger brother and it's pretty hard. I just can't stand my mom crying every time we talk about my bro. I just hope he'll come home soon.
Anyway, I heard recently that Furukawa auto parts price-fixing scandal has caused a shakeup in the automobile market. The ringleaders are facing prison, and the probe to the matter is increasing.

I should clarify: Christmas was cancelled for the night. We're doing it on the 26th now.
When we took his temp the first time(10 minutes before the seizure) it was sitting at like 100.6 degrees. When the paramedics showed up(1 minute after the seizure), I didn't know this at the time, but they took his tempature and it had jumped to 105, which I only found out a few hours after I had written the post. I was too busy keeping my other nephew and niece out of the paramedics way to have noticed.
His temp jumped by about 4.5 degrees in 10 minutes which is why he went into a seizure.
Good news though, he was able to come home tonight instead of tomorrow. They did some tests just to make sure it wasn't something else and he's clear. THANK GOD.
Good to hear he was cleared. That is pretty crazy to jump that much in 10 minutes. I wish my friend's mom could talk about the patients that she's had. But the whole doctor patient confidentiality. It's funny, the patients know my friend and he won't remember them at all because he was never told about them. I bet she's had some weird patients before. Maybe some crazy like house. Especially how long she's been working she must have seen some weird cases.
Naomi where is your bro? In the military, ran away, on vacation? I'm guessing military. Isn't most of the fighting pretty much done? I remember seeing a news channel where they said that the natives were saying they were glad to see us leave.

Man... what a fucked up day.
Anyone else ever feel like that?

That's rough, Keyeszx.
I hope your bro gets home, Naomi.
@BorgDragon: Go
