My Baby.

I had a heck of a scare Wednesday!  My little girl fainted for the first time.  No one in my family has ever fainted before and I was scared like crazy.  I get CPR certified every two years and am always afraid that I will forget everything I've learned and panic.  Well, never having seen anyone faint before is one thing, but having it happen to your child.  I didn't exactly panic, but my thought was, I'm in a doctor's office so a doctor or a nurse should help me out.  So what did I do?  Yelled, "someone help her".  I take this training every year so I can keep my family safe and try to help the best I can~but I panicked!  It happened very quickly and she came right out of it, but this is my baby and I was so scared for her.  I probably scared her even more!  The nurse asked her if she knew what the date was and she answered without hesitation!  The nurse, receptionist and I all kidded that we didn't even know the date!  

And this is what she would do if she knew I was telling you this story.

So I had asked the nurse if she could play field hockey b/c she had a game later that day.  The nurse said she would be ok to play.  I had to cover all basis, however when we got in the car Alyssa told me she didn't want to play.  I know exactly how she felt.  She probably thought if she fainted again on the field, she would be mortified!! And I can't blame her!  Nevertheless, I didn't take my eyes off of her the rest of the night.   I love you to pieces Alyssa!

I'm sure you handled it just fine - scared as heck afterwards but remained in control I'm sure!
