Kate gave herself and me a big fright today. She had a fainting episode, or syncope, apparently. It was quite terrifying for her to experience. And me to witness. So today I am grateful for my daughter’s resilience in the face of a day of tests, for her growth, for our shared smiles as our eyes met in the various doctor’s rooms and for her pride at her ‘firsts’. I grateful for that little voice as I kissed her goodnight that stopped me at the door, saying, thank you mommy for driving me around today. Because whilst it was young and vulnerable, the choice of words weren’t. And the gratitude was sincere.
grace and dignity

Megan Clausen Oh Lord, Ethan has those all the time. They are so scary but really nothing to worry about. Ethan sort of fits too when it happens which is just terrifying. Does she have low iron? That and low blood pressure are Ethan’s problem. Always worse with hunger or tiredness or stress. Lots of little meals and a VItB/Iron combination tablet every day seems to sort it out.
