Hi, I'm new here, and this is my first post. I'm just wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar. My son will be 8 this month. Starting at a very young age he began having febrile seizures, and did until he was 3. They stopped at that point until last October. He had a very bad one in October when he was home sick from school. We called 911 and went to the hospital. 2 days later he was diagnosed with hand foot mouth disease. Which explains why he got so sick and spiked such a high temp. The doctor said it is not typical for a child his age to still have febrile seizures, and didn't think it would happen again. He did order an MRI and EEG as a precaution. Mainly because my son was born with transposition of the great arteries, and had open heart surgery at 7 days old. So he felt the cardiac team would request it. We have not yet gone for the tests, but should be soon. Earlier this evening my son had a temp of 37.7C. I gave him Tylenol and put him in a bath. As I was washing his hair he went limp and fell forward into the water. It seemed like he was starting to seize, but it stopped quickly. I will be calling his pediatrician in the morning. We didn't go to the hospital because he was fine within about 10 seconds, and back to himself after that. I have always found when he gets sick he very quickly spikes a fever to 38C, and once he hits that point seizes. But if I can catch it before it spikes and cool him in a lukewarm bath, as well as alternate Tylenol and Advil I can prevent the seizure. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it feels as though his body struggles with infection/viruses, and then he spikes, and seizes. Or could this be epilepsy, and fever/sickness triggers the seizure? Could it have anything to do with his heart? He has no issues. He has a mild leak I believe in his aortic valve, and mildly enlarged pulmonary artery. When he's much older he may need a valve replacement, but right now it's not a concern. But my brain keeps going to the fact that he always rapidly spikes to 104 when sick. It somehow feels important, but I'm far from a doctor. Hoping someone can make sense of my ramblings and offer some insights. Thanks 😊
