Merry Christmas from the Nestoss'! We hope everyone had a great holiday spent with family and friends! We decided to pack up the kiddos and head to San Antonio, TX for Christmas this year! The girls and I were super excited to get out of our apartment "hole" for a few days and have some fun! What is Christmas without a Christmas cold right!?!?! Both Laila and Lainie had been battling colds and pink eye the previous week, so we were hoping for a quick recovery for our trip! Wishful thinking! :)
Thank goodness for dvd players in cars! Laila was wrapped up in her Dora movie, along with Lainie! Our road ahead looked quiet and great, weren't we in for a surprise!! 60 miles out of San Antonio, I glanced back at the girls to make sure all was well. I was horrified to find Lainie in the middle of a seizure! This isn't the first seizure miss Lainie Lou has dealt with. When she was 9 months old, she developed a very bad cold which lead to her first seizure. Anyways, Andy pulled over and both of us with cat like reflexes got Lainie our of the car and held her onto her until she finished. Talk about the scariest moment of my life. As hard as it was to remain calm myself, poor Laila was crying and upset with what she was seeing. Thankfully there was an ER about 10 miles down the road that got Lainie in ASAP! After finding out she had a temp. of 103, they told us it was another febrile seizure. This is the bodies way of dealing with the increase of temperature so quickly. Thankfully she got medicine and returned back to her normal self. That night, we had a lot to be thankful for! In the future, whenever she gets a cold we will have to watch her temperature like a hawk!
Finally in San Antonio, we enjoyed the rest of our Christmas vacation walking around the city, eating at great restaurants, visiting with Andy's co-workers (Zachry has an office in San Antonio), touring the Alamo, walking along the Riverwalk and playing at the children's museum! It was a rough at the beginning of our vacation, but we made up for it the rest of our time there!
