Spent Thursday night at the hospital
Amy and I spent a sleepness night at Kosair Children's Hospital Thursday night after Miles had a couple of episodes that doctors think were febrile seizures caused by a fever.

Amy had the kids at Target, when Miles started acting very strangely. As she was heading to the doctor's office, he had another brief episode. At this point, she headed to the Baptist East ER and called me to leave work.

After some scary moments at Baptist where Miles was very lethargic, the doctor (who was fantastic in taking care of Miles) recommended that we transfer him to Kosair's. So they sent the Kosair's ambulance and transport team to pick Miles up.

By the time we left for Kosair's, Miles was looking dramatically better.

We spent Thursday night in the ICU at Kosair's so that they could monitor Miles more closely. And after a ton of blood tests, a CT scan, a chest X-ray and an EEG, doctors were able to rule out things like bleeding in the brain, pneumonia, and neurological disorders.

We brought him home on Friday evening and he is feeling a bit better; although, he still gets a pretty high fever in the evening that is sometimes accompanied by a rash. Other than that, though, he is running around and playing like a normal 4 year-old.

Amy is taking him to his pediatrician's office today for a follow-up.
