Documenting this down and hoping it won't be needed for any serious reference.
It happened once before when SE was in kindergarten. She'd suddenly blacked out and the maid said she was having a seizure, from what she'd seen in her own family. I'd spent anxious moments after that hoping this wouldn't recur, that there wouldn't be any calls from her school reporting a dreaded incident. It has been... (counting) 4 years and nothing. Phew.
Unfortunately something similar just happened. I'd taken JE and SE along to get some bubble tea. We ordered and then went outside the small shop to wait. Suddenly there was a THUNK. I looked down and SE was flat on the floor, facing up. Now how come this little one could just fall like that? But... she wasn't moving. I called her name and tried to get her to sit up. She didn't respond. Only after a few moments she started to whimper a bit. Then she said 'got Covid, got Covid' - I was SO thankful to get some reaction. She was in a cold sweat and weak. We collected our bubble tea, dragged her across the road (was afraid she'd collapse again halfway) and sat down on the five foot way for some time until she felt better. Then we made our way back to the car which was some distance away.
SE said she had been feeling normal. Then she was on the floor and Mummy was there.
Hoping against hope that it's nothing serious.
Pray that it wasn't anything serious but just a panic attack from being anxious about covid. Luckily her head is ok when she fell onto the floor. Do you intend to bring her for a medical checkup focusing on what are the possibilities that could have caused this?
ReplyDeleteI would like to know the cause, but I think it would take a lot of tests to find out. Not going to put her through those if I can help it.
DeleteYa I agree with u, better not put her through the tests unless really necessary.
DeleteSudden faint without feeling sick at all? Tht's strange! Normally this could happen when lacking oxigen in a crowded place but your case not seems like it.
ReplyDeleteYeah I couldn't find possible explanations also. It wasn't crowded, she wasn't hungry/tired. The day was a bit hot and we walked a distance from the car but these weren't exceptionally intense.
DeleteFortunately she didn't hurt herself when she fainted. I had fainting spell when I was in primary school. It happened a few times and that was all.
ReplyDeleteThanks. So scary that she suddenly lost consciousness like that. Can be very dangerous.
