Good evening you lovely people! Just wanted to do a little awareness video so if this happens to any of you Mums & Dad out there in the future you know what to do. Because we didn’t. Our Roma, our youngest daughter had a seizure today called Febrile Convulsions. This happens to 1 or 2 out of 100 under the age of 6 years old. It’s when a baby overheats when they have a temperature and their bodies can’t cool them down so they have a fit/seizure. Our Roma had whooping cough earlier this year and has been suffering with a sore throat, so had a slight temperature even though she seemed normal. As a parent I can honestly say it’s the scariest thing I’ve seen because I thought I was going to loose my daughter this afternoon. But now I’ve been with the fantastic medical team at Queens hospital they have reassured me that it’s all okay. If this happens to your baby especially is this hot summer. Try not to panic. Lay them on their side. Cool them down with damp cold rag/towel. Take out dummies. Keep talking to them. Try not to panic as hard as this seems. It will only last 5/10 minutes. If you have a car with air con, get them in the car and turn it on full cold power. Do not shake them. Get them as comfortable as possible. They will be really sleepy after this had happened. I hope this can help some mums and dads out there as one of the most scariest things I’ve seen. Sorry to anyone who I overtaken rushing to the hospital in the car. Thank you to lovely people at Sainsburys who helped my wife and the team at Queens. All my 3 children are now in bed and I’m having a nice cup of tea. Good night. God bless. And don’t panic. My wife is a super hero. Bosh❤️
