Dude just take care of you and yours... Real life is crazy like that... If your people you are playing know what is going on then either they will understand and be gracious or upset and pissy... Take care of you and your girls, this site will still be here when you get back

My second son got seizures from fevers. My wife and I have always been very tentative and mindful when he gets sick now. At the time it looked more like a Stroke. Very scary. He does not get them now, thank goodness.
Keep that wife as calm as possible and sincerely my best wishes go out to you and your family.

If there's one thing you don't have to apologize for, it's this. Take care.

And wtf chainsaw?

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts and words.
@Keggiemckill: Every time She even looks like She may be getting ill, it puts us on pins and needles because the seizures, as you say, do look something like a stroke and they scare the shit out of a parent knowing there is nothing you can do....To feel that helpless when your child needs your help is terrifying.

What helped us with our son, was that he got the seizures in the winter. So we just took him outside and it quickly cooled him off. It wasn't designed, he just kept coming out if it, when we rushed him to the car to take him to the hospital. The cold, outside temperatures coincidently brought him out of a fever/ seizure. 3 years later, every time he gets sick we monitor his temp, and make sure he doesn't have too many blankets on him. Ask you doctor, but bringing the temperature Down ASAP is imperative. I would be thinking about having ice packs ready or perhaps a cold showers right away in these summer months. I work in Celsius, so when he hits a 39, we watch him like one watches a sauce cook. It is terrifying. I am able to look back and sorta smile now. Not that it was funny, but because it's much better now than it was then.
Anyways keep your chin up and don't worry about this site. You aren't someone who is skipping out to sun bathe. Every league will understand. Keep that kid cool, and the wife calm. Good luck to you. Man, I gotta go to work, but I really just want to sun bathe after saying that. :)

Bathtube+cold water could be a quick remedy as well (need to check temperature constantly, it can drop quick! this way).

Holy shit man, good luck with all this stuff. Family life can drain any other resources, and sometimes you just have to let it.
