update to ER visit

I called our Dr. this morning to make a follow up appt. Our dr. isn't in again till Friday, so we made an appt for her then. The receptionist said this was only for Samantha. She said that we can talk to the dr. at that time and figure out what to do about the girls well baby visit that we were unable to complete.

Fast forward to about 10 mins ago...

Our dr. just called and asked how Samantha was doing. Which, by the way, she is doing fabulous! She said after consulting with the ER dr. and the peds department, they have come to the conclusion that she did NOT have a seizure and she simply got worked up, held her breath and passed out (which is what I thought from the beginning). They said there would have been more signs afterwards that would have pointed to a seizure, such as being tired or completely lethargic. Samantha had none of those. After I was able to calm her down, she was walking around the office and playing with the magazines while we waited for the paramedics.

WHEW! Even more relief. The dr. also said to bring in Addison so we could finish their well baby visit. She isn't going to charge us for our visit on Friday and just bill insurance as if it all happened on one day. Good news there too! Save us having to pay double co-pays (or is that quadruple co-pays? lol)
