This past week has been CRAZY!!!! On Tuesday we got a new car - a dodge nitro - I picked it out all by myself - and Matt just finished the deal - which is the first time I have ever picked out a car. Usually Matt picks it out and does all the paper work and everything and I get to see it/drive it before its final. Which is really nice for me since I really don't like having to deal with all the little details - and Matt is really good at dealing with those.
While we were at the dealership finishing up all the paperwork and stuff Ella colapsed - she had been running around and talking to people moments before - and she was in the middle of eating a granola bar when she fell straight back - like droping a board. She was facing away from me and the people she was talking to said that her eyes rolled back in her head and then she passed out. She was only out for a couple of seconds before she started screaming - as I was holding her and trying to calm her down and love her better her eyes rolled back and she passed out again - this time she was out for a couple of minutes. After the first one I was like okay that isn't normal I need to make an appointment with her doctor but after she did it again I was on my way to the ER - something was wrong - and it seemed like I was losing my happy, crazy baby right before my eyes. She was really out of it on the drive to the hospital - Chesapeake regional was only about 10 min away - we made it in about 5 [since I was speeding and ran a couple of red lights :)] They did the triage really quickly and then we had to wait for a couple of hours - they had a couple of severe people come in on ambulances - so we were waiting a bit longer than they were expecting us to. About an hour & a half after the second episode she started acting normal again - it was like she had come out of her stance and was back to normal. She ran around the waiting room and was talking to all kinds of people. I was shocked because just a couple of minutes before she was screaming and scarred and not even remotely like she usually is. They did a cat scan, looked at her heart rythmn (they wanted to do an EKG but she wasn't going to have anything to do with that one) and did blood work. Everything came back normal - they couldn't see any reason why she had passed out twice and been so incoherant. After about 5 hours we were on our way home - we stopped at wendys and got her a burger and after she ate that and drank some choc. milk she went to sleep.
She hasn't had any problems since - and has been her crazy, wonderful self since. She even got excited when I told her she was going to see the doctor on Monday (after the er experiance I thought she would never want to see a doctor again as long as she lived). She has a follow up appointment in the morning - and we will probably be doing more tests to make sure everything is "normal" - I am starting to relax a little bit - since she has gone almost 5 days without any problems and seems to be just fine. I was definately the scariest moment of my life. I hate seeing my little princess sick - it breaks my heart. Hopefully things will keep going well and we won't have to deal with any more scarry er trips in the near future.
Thank you to everyone for thier prayers and everything - they have been a support to us and I know they have helped Ella be okay.
