Sammy

I know some of you already know but I just thought I would record this anyway. Yesterday morning when I was doing Sammy's hair, about 5 minutes into it she says, "Mom my stomach hurts." I say "Sorry." And then a couple seconds later I glance in the mirror and see the color drain from her face as she say, "Mom, my stomach really......." and she passes out and falls over! I was able to grab one arm with the hand that wasn't holding the curling iron so she didn't hit the wall too hard, and then she lay on the ground, eyes open staring straight at the ceiling, but out for about 5 seconds before she came to! What the heck?! It was very strange and quite unnerving! She got up and complained that her stomach still hurt and was still pale. She stayed pale for a few hours but once I finally got her to eat she looked and acted like her good ol' self again. I wrestled with trying to decide what to do for the next few hours but couldn't shake the feeling that I should at least call the Dr. So I did. They said they should probably see her, so I took her in yesterday afternoon. As I already knew, they explained how it could be anywhere from nothing at all (even just standing locked legs, but they don't usually see that by only standing for 5 min.), to blood sugar issues, or a heart condition. But most likely nothing too serious. So our next adventure will be to go in to have an EKG and a 2 hour glucose check done. I feel very optimistic that they won't find anything but did feel better after taking her to the Dr. anyways. Wish us luck-if anything for the glucose test! :P We all know how fun those can be, let alone for an 8 year old....even though I do think she will like the drink more than I do! :)
