Thanks to all of you. I was in my office yesterday when the school called me. D5 slumped over in her desk and fell to the floor seizing. She has had 2 prior febrile seizures but all were heralded by a high temp. Yesterday, the seizure came first.
When the school called, I was told she didn't have a fever, but, in the ER, she was 102.7. That was a relief because without fever, it would be looking more like a seizure disorder. She got Motrin and fluids. All tests negative. She went home with us.
STBXW was communicative..to a degree. There was no blame game. We were functional together. I just love it tho' how I am referred to as "D5's father". Well...I have to get used to that. She actually offered to bring some dinner home for me.
Wow.
What bugged me was that MIL showed up at the ER. I obviously didn't have much to say to her. When we arranged for a doctor's appt. for D5 the next day, STBXW asked MIL to get S8 off to school.
Whoa!
Am I invisible???? I said unnecessary and waived MIL off. I TOLD XXX to take D5 to the doc and I would get S8 off to school. Sheesh.
W slept upstairs. I slept on the couch with D5 and gave her her Motrin and Tylenol throughout the night every 3 hours. Not sure why she didn't offer to help out or set the alarm and come downstairs. She DID tell me she sent one of those famous fruit baskets to the school 'from us'. I took a another route. I wrote a letter to the superintendent of schools asking them to recognize those that helped our daughter (yes...I included XXX's name and did not use exclusionary words).
Stressed. FIB
