Can I make it 3 bad days in a row??

I honestly thought Monday would be a bad day just because it was Monday. So why was Tuesday a bad day? Just because it was Tuesday? Nobody hates Tuesdays...well...I never did. Until yesterday. We're going two for two here, and there's only BEEN two days this week!! AHHH!! Can I get a third?? ARG.
Here's why Tuesday was a bad day...I'll sorta point form it so you don't have to read all of my "Lucas" details again.

Got to Cardinal and things were going well...we had one student off yesterday because her family was celebrating the end of Ramadhan...so that was a nice time-saver. After picking up all the students, we were heading to school (and we were even going to be nice and early!), when all of a sudden, Khang has a seizure. Ok, that's normal. Her seizure wasn't even very long, maybe a minute and a half. I keep an eye on her for a minute, and then something didn't sound right...so I went back to where she was. She was gurgling a lot(she's very congested all the time), and this usually means she's going to throw up. Great. At least I can identify when she's going to! I grabbed the spill kit, paper towel and latex gloves and went back to clean up her breakfast. Thank goodness it wasn't as bad as last time! I stayed back there with her, 'cause she didn't quite sound right. At this point, she has another seizure, this time being pretty tense, and she has never had a seizure like this before! Great. Make note and tell the teacher. She's also sweating bullets...not even joking, she had beads of sweat soaking her forehead and her face. Poor thing.
I wasn't prepared for what happened next.
She stopped breathing.
Right. Crap. What the heck do I do? "Jan! Khang's lips are blue!" (I didn't panic, 'cause I didn't want Jan to panic, though she's a nurse and probably wouldn't anyway) Jan pulled the bus over at a transit bus stop immediately. She looked back at us in her rear-view, and even from her vantage point, she could see how blue she was! It came fast.
Then her nasal area turned blue. YIKES! Meanwhile, Jan is trying to get out her door to come to the back of the bus, but on 14th street during morning rush hour, it proved a little difficult.
I think what happened is that she just had so much congestion and then having a seizure at the same time, causing her to lose her airway for a minute. While Jan was trying to get back to us, I wasn't sure if I should start breathing for her. She sounded like she was trying to, but just couldn't, so I rubbed circles around her back, and gently patted her back to try and loosen things up. While I know how to do rescue breathing and CPR and all that, I wasn't entirely sure how to do it to a kid in a wheelchair! If her chair had a tilt feature, I would've just done that, but she was sitting straight up with no option of tilting her.
Well, getting herself out the door into traffic was futile, so Jan never made it to the back of the bus before Khang started breathing again. All of this within a minute. While rubbing her back, she coughed, and then her lips turned pink and she started bawling. Good sign. That means she has an airway!
Jan got on her cell and called the school to let them know to send someone out to take Khang off the bus right when we get there.
During all this, Khang had popped most of the blood vessels in her face(which I didn't even notice until someone at the school pointed it out). She was so red-faced and sweaty that it was hard to notice that, but after we had everyone off the bus, the teacher came out and asked me if her seizure was different than normal 'cause all her blood vessels were popped! I was planning on telling the teacher, but she hadn't been out there initially.
Quite the morning. And it was only 9 o'clock.
Then HandiBus decided to add another student to my already packed route when they told me they wouldn't. Nice.
