Okay. I am officially freaked out now. Bella just had another seizure about 30 minutes - less than 24 hours since her last one, which was the first one she's had in the 2 months that we've had her.

During her seizure last night, luckily she was sleeping on the floor in the den. Tonight, however she was on the couch but thank goodness I was sitting there with her. At around 8pm, I decided to play a little xbox instead of going to bed. If I had gone to bed, Bella would have fallen off the couch and onto the hardwood floor. I saw she was about to have another seizure and I scrambled over to her just in time to catch her and keep her from hitting the floor.

A couple people have asked me if she could have gotten into anything toxic and I'm pretty sure she has not. At least, we haven't seen any evidence that she has.

The only major change or occurrence was yesterday when our A/C was out and it got up to 90 degrees in the house. We tried to keep her as cool as possible - I would try to get her to get up and drink water, but was just did not want to get off our bed where she was laying with 2 fans blowing on her. At one point I started wetting small towels and putting them either on her chest or draped over her neck. Those didn't seem to be cool enough, so I put them in the freezer for several minutes and then laid them on her. I kept doing this throughout the day. If her being over heated yesterday is the cause of the seizures I don't know what I'll do. The guilt would probably kill me.
