I probably have titled more than 100 posts about Max keeping me on my toes. Truly amazing journey with my lil' man.
Today's "episode" took place at a local berry farm. We were enjoying a wonderful pancake and all was great. I was thinking "wow, what a perfect morning...fun friends...amazing son...delicious food...wonderful place to live"...yadda, yadda, yadda.
Then we went on to pick some blueberries. I was so excited, but Max wanted no part of it. No worries...the two of us just walked around while our friends picked berries. I gave him one and he seemed to really like it...and again, all was well.
Then a few minutes later, he was a little agitated and began turning colors. It wasn't like his typical "I'm so mad, I'm gonna hold my breath" moments...this was different and worse. I haven't been that scared about Max for a very long time. Truly I thought I was losing him. It probably was only one minute...but it seemed like forever. He was turning scary colors and was non-responsive. Everything about it just seemed wrong. Then his mouth started bleeding (which at first was freaky) but then I quickly realized he had simply bitten his tongue in the midst of me patting his back, putting him on the ground, etc. That seemed to help snap him out of it at least, but something still seemed wrong.
In the middle of this, I thought it's probably time to call 911 but was worried it would take them too long to get there. I was just about to, but that is when he seemed to somewhat "come to."
He is ok now, but honestly I still am a little worried. I'm sure everything is ok, but then again...I don't want to be too in denial and ignore any warning signs. I talked with his doctor's office and they want me to keep a close eye on him today. They said it probably was one of three options: holding his breath, choking or a seizure. Hmm...I'll take #1 (if I have a choice) and I would prefer for this to never, ever, ever happen again...did you hear me Max? No more crazy episodes. You are aging me too quickly at this rate!
Please keep Max in your thoughts today. I'm sure all is well, but a few extra prayers are always good...thank you!

Could he maybe have swallowed the blueberry and wasn't ready for the sensation and just 'froze'? Could he have been choking on it? I so hope that is what it was! (not that we want him to choke! But it IS better than it having been a seizure)...
I will keep him in my prayers!!!
Hugs

my thought was he was choking on the blueberry and then my thought was I'm on too much medication right now and over reacting..
I'm saying prayers for you and for max..please let me know anything..
Wow, how scary that must have been for you! Praying that it never ever happens again. And Max... no more scaring your poor mommy like that, OK? Just stick to being adorable, like you're so good at. Take care.
Sending prayers and (((HUGS))) your way. My first thought was that he was choking on the blueberry. Whatever it was, was very scary and I pray it doesn't happen again.
Hugs to you both,
Carolyn
