Sick kid?

Well I had quite the scare on Monday. My daughter woke up and felt dizzy. She didn't tell me this of course. Then we were almost ready to go to school and she was standing in the living room watching tv. All the sudden I hear a big crash. I peak around the computer hutch as I'm getting out of my chair and she is flat on her back. ON THE GLASS COFFEETABLE! Holy shit! Help her up and she is dazed looking and crying of course, she's only 9. Take son to school, then try to track Dad down because he took the insurance card for his cholestrol screening. Of all the days right?

So, we came home. I didn't really think anything of it but to let her rest. I'm not the worrying kind, my kids have never really been sick so it doesn't pop into my head that something major could ever be wrong. I figured just long weekend, too much activity. Which is why I'm good friends with worry warts. lol She tells me that she would be at the hospital right now. Ok, duh, maybe I should be a little more worried [head smack] So off we go for glucos, EKG, the works. Talk to my Dad in between the 2 doctor offices and he mentions how my Mom's low blood pressure does that to her when she is dehydrated. Well, the princess wouldn't even try to pee in a cup so we could find out if she was dehydrated. But since their where 2 parties and she hadn't peed the whole day, it's a safe assumption she has the same issue as my Mom.

She's all fine now, Dad loaded her up with Gatorade. lol But boy it sucked to be Momma on Monday. Oh, I forgot to mention I was desperately trying to get ahold of someone to work for me as this is all going on. OIY, what a Monday!
