...and she's out!

Athena was sick with a fever this weekend but she was well enough to go to school Monday. She went to jazz as usual and everything seemed fine. But this morning she woke up all pale, and clammy, saying she felt like she was going to throw up. I've seen her like this before--when she's that pale she usually passes out. I made her lie down on the bathroom floor and sure enough she passed out--her body got all twitchy,too, this time. I think it's just a sugar imbalance and usually some rest and juice gets her back on her feet. She was back to normal this afternoon. (Paris said she was lucky to be able to miss 2 whole days of school and Athena said, "No, it's not. It's just boring after awhile.") Brian gets cold and clammy sometimes too, but he never passes out. Those of you with knowledge or experience, is this just low blood sugar or should I take her to the dr.?

  1. Yes, that is freaky, I might look into it. Does she have a yearly physical or anything? I would bring it up then. They should run some blood tests I think. Ada just threw up last night- first time I have had a kid with the flu bug like that- it's pretty miserable. No play group to the Children's Museum and no working for me this afternoon. Sigh. So bored- I will probably have to call you this afternoon.
