time is precious

so i got another glimps at just how precious time really is, everything can change in a matter of moments and we cant take anything for granted.
sunday night my family and i got together to go over to my parent store that they own and rent some movies and grab some stuff that we all wanted, and everything was good. abby has had a fever for a couple of days and she just wasn't feeling the best but we decided to take her with us just to get out of the house a little.
when jeff and i were done getting what we wanted we decided we should probably take abby home because she just looked like she didn't feel well. so we went out and got her in her carseat and were waiting for my cousin jake to tell us weither he was coming with us of with natalie while we were waiting abby started to shake a little and i thought she was cold, so i went in the back seat next to her and she only got worse so i told jeff we should take her to the urgent care and we left to go, a few seconds later she started shaking really bad and i could tell something wasn't right and she was struggling breathing, so i yelled at at jeff to call 911 and i took her out of her carseat and started back to the store, abby threw up on me and then went limp, she stopped breathing and i started freaking out, jeff was pounding on the door to get one of my family members to open it and we were searching for brint my brother in law who is a nurse and i knew was abbys only hope, luckily brint was the one by the door and let us in and i just handed her off to him and hoped with all my heart that he could save her, luckily he did and got her breathing again and we waited for the ambulence to come and it seemed like forever.
we then took her to the er and she stayed the night at the hospital and we took her home yesterday. i guess she just got to high of a fever to fast and the way her body fought if off was through a seizure and thats what happened. i have never been so scared in my life and wanted to help her out so much but was helpless. there was nothing i could do for her and i just wanted to make it all go away. i am so greatful to still have her in my life and i am so thankful to brint for helping save our little girl, i dont know what we would do without her in our home, shes so fun and we love her so much.
things are better now, we have to watch her temperature all the time but at least shes more of our little abby now.
so i am so greatful for every moment with her and with jeff and for how precious our time is together.
