When a mom suspects something is wrong with her child, it's because she knows that something is wrong.
Amanda Lewis recognized something “weird” was going on with her daughter, Evelyn, as soon as bath time was finished. The little girl didn't want to stand up to put her pajamas on.
Not only did she not want to stand up on her own, a video Amanda took to document the scary experience showed her daughter suddenly could not stand up at all.
The Oregon mom posted the video to Facebook to warn parents about the frightening event that ensued. She began her post by explaining:
Evelyn started acting a little weird last night around bed time. She didn't want to stand up after her bath to get into her pajamas. I helped her and got her in bed. She was a little fussy last night and I ended up sleeping in bed with her all night.
By morning, things had progressed to a noticeable and serious problem:
She could barely walk, or crawl, and could hardly use her arms.
After sharing the video with family first in an effort to quickly identify the problem, Amanda rushed Evelyn to the hospital.
There, a doctor explained that in the past 15 years, he had seen seven to eight children who had exhibited signs “identical” to what Evelyn was showing. Evelyn more than likely had a tick bite.
