Master John's Wild Ambulence Ride

Gordon, Alison, and John went to Disneyland on Friday. It turns out the Johnny had gotten sick and was running a fever at the park but no one knew.

During the fireworks show, Gordon looked down at Johnny and saw him staring back at him blankly. He realized something was wrong so he and Alison quickly found a first aid station where the Disneyland staff impressed with efficiency and an EMTs and an ambulance were quickly on the scene.

They all rode in the ambulance to the hospital where Johnny quickly recovered. What occurred is called a Febrile Seizure.

"Febrile seizures are seizures or convulsions that occur in young children and are triggered by fever.  Young children between the ages of about 6 months and 5 years old are the most likely to experience febrile seizures; this risk peaks during the second year of life.  The fever may accompany common childhood illnesses such as a cold, the flu, or an ear infection.  In some cases, a child may not have a fever at the time of the seizure but will develop one a few hours later."

We are very grateful he is back to his normal self, although still ill with something. It was very scary for a Gordon and Alison.
