Please Pray for my baby boy!!!!

Everything was fine... Anderson was acting like he does nothing wrong, no cough, sniffles, sickness nothing. We layed him down around 9 and he went right to sleep around 11:30 we heard him whinning in his bed and he sounded muffled like his face was under a blanket or something. Ralph rushed upstairs because he just kept crying like he coulnd't get air cause he was under something. When ralph got to him he was laying face down in his crib and was limp when ralph picked him up. He had no control of his body, he coulnd't turn his head to breathe in the bed. Ralph stripped his clothes off b/c he was hot and checked his temp it was 103. 5 we gave him some tylenol and then we called the paramedics because he coulnd't hold his head up or move his body. Before they got there he started closing his eyes and his breathing was getting too slow. When the paramedics got there he responded to them, but they wanted us to go straight to childrens Er. We got to the Er at 12:55 friday night ,saturday morning which ever you want to say and werent seen until 2:00 to get his vital signs by then he was still running a fever of 103. They did nothing, but give him motrin. We stayed in the Er for 7 hours and they never saw my baby... even knowing that the paramedics had sent us. I called Anderson's dr from my phone in the er at 8:00am saturday morninng told them what happened and that we were still in the er after 7 hs and hadnt been seen, they told us to come on to the office so they could look at him. They checked his blood, urine, xrayed his chest everything you can think of and all they could find was that his white blood cells were elevated. They gave him a antibiotic shot and sent us home because by this time anderson was running around acting like he felt fine. We got home and he was so sleepy because none of us had any sleep the night before since we stayed in the er all night. He started shaking because of the fever, I told ralph I was going to take a shower and to take Andersons clothes off so I could bathe him while I was in the tub. He was hot so he checked his temp and it was 105.9 ralph tried to give him some tylenol to help the fever while he called the dr, but anderson threw it up. So he quickly brought him to me to try and cool him down. He was crying when I got him in the tub, but I bathed him real quick and was talking to him. I got him and sat him up in my lap so I could run the water over him and all the sudden his face went blank... his pupils got real large and his face turned red, he started drooling out of his mouth and then started having a seizure in my arms. I screamed for Ralph and he called the paramedics, grabbed anderson and tried to dry him off while I was quickly getting dressed. He started having more seizures and throwing up. The paremedics got there and said we gotta go now!!! We got to the Er 12 hrs to the min from when we were there the first time. My baby looked lifeless they were screaming at each other and doing so much to him. They sent us out and to a room down the hall. I coulndn't breathe all I could do was scream. If they would have done their jobs the first time we were there my baby might now would have gone through everything that day. They got him breathing with a venatilator and kept him sedated. It was so sad, but he was alteast breathing. They did a ct scan, and a spinal tap, and everything was clear, the only thing they said was what the drs office had said, which was that his white blood cells were high. Later that evening he was finally taken off the breathing tube and able to breathe on his own. He stayed in PICU until around 11:30 that night when they finally moved him up to Nicu because he was feeling so much better. We stayed here two nights because they wanted to watch him because he was still having a fever of 102 off and on. It is now 12:04 on monday and we are finally being discharged. They're sending him home with a gel that we put in him if he starts having more seizures at home. The gell will stop the seizure so that he will be alright till the paremedics get to him. The only thing they know is that he had a virus and his fever going up so high so quick is what caused the seizures. All his tests were clear so they want us to take him home. Please just pray for our family and my little boy. Weve been through a lot since friday night and we just need your prayers and we hope that he never has to go through any of this again.
