So I'm taking an online course through Ball State University, which on Twitter we are affectionately calling the #superMOOC. It's about Gender Through Comic Books. Lots of fun. One assignment was to draw our own comic based on experience we had that had something to do with gender. This is my (terrrible) comic based on my hitch-hiking adventures back in the day. A few caveats:
I can't draw. Yes, and water is wet.
This is a true experience, though the dialogue is only as best as I can recall after more than fifteen years.
I don't look like that, nor did I have a magic baseball cap. I just had a really smelly one.
I don't offer any answers, really. This is just a thing that happened.
And my scanner doesn't work so these are photos.
Anyways. Here you go:

Naia had a febrile seizure last night. Febrile seizures are a fairly common thing that happens to about 1 in 25 infants and isn't really a problem. Usually caused by a fever combined with a developing brain just causing a mild brain short circuit.  This is the kind of thing they need to make PSAs about, you know? Because I never heard of febrile seizures prior to last night, and it took a house full of firemen and paramedics to educate me.
We heard her start doing this very strange noise, kind of a stuttery moaning which was plainly not normal. In fact my first thought was seizure since I have some experience with that (not myself. Long story.) Michelle was the first to grab her and she was shaking for a few seconds, and her eyes were rolling in her head. She threw up a bit later. We called 911 and the excellent first responders of Edmonton came very quickly. They packed her up and took her in the ambulance to the Stollery. I followed a bit later when our neighbour came over to keep an eye on Pallas for us.
We were there till almost 4AM, and by the time the doctors saw her she was running and jumping and her usual cheery self. A nurse had given her a popsicle earlier so she tried scamming another one from the doctor. Anyways they weren't too concerned about it, all very common to them. And today Naia seems fine. I was supposed to be working nightshift starting tonight but I stayed home an extra night to keep an eye on everyone. Some serious lack of sleep going around the house today.
But it's all good.
