Our Little Scare

One of the things I will wish for from now on is for our children to never have a headache.  After living through Ethan's scary moments and it "just being a headache", I don't think my emotions are cut out for any kids with headaches.
On Saturday, Marcus and I were at a fundraiser event for our theatre.  My mom was with the children.  My mom had to call me because of Madilyn's pain.  Madilyn was having a headache.  And it was no little headache.  I could hear her screaming in the background!  I knew there wasn't an MEF (Marilyn exaggeration Factor--my brother named it) at this point.  My mom was actually VERY calm, which helped with my nerves.  I told her to rush Madilyn to the doctor.  I told her to just head to the Urgent Care.  I thought that would be okay.  I told Marcus what was going on and his initial reaction was to just call 911. 
As I was driving home I was realizing that Madilyn had an MRI last year and there wasn't an AVM.  You are born with it, so I knew it wasn't what Ethan had.  She also just had a CT scan last month because of her ear issues.  This knowledge was helping me with the fact that I was pretty sure her headache was "just a headache."  I knew she would be okay.
She was diagnosed with a severe sinus headache.  Poor girl.  They gave her a steroid to help drain her sinuses.  She is really having bad sinus issues.  She has been feeling so much better since Saturday.
I will keep wishing that our kids won't have headaches, but in the meantime I am grateful my little girl feels better.  The sad part about the situation is when she was screaming she said to my mom, "I have a headache.  I need to go to the hospital."  And when Marcus got home she said, "Daddy, I had a headache like Ethan's."
Obviously scary moments for her too.
