Last night was fun. My tiny human passed out, like unconscious, while standing up. She was getting her dinner when she said she felt dizzy. I was walking towards her and I thought she was walking towards me, but she was falling. I tried to hold her up, but she's so much bigger than me and I'm super weak so I tried to hold her up and her legs went out. She hit her head on the cabinet on the way down. I couldn't do anything but help her fall. She doesn't remember any of it except being dizzy then laying on the floor. She laid down for a bit and was feeling better later, but said her head hurt, turns out she hit her nose pretty good. It was swollen, but hopefully not broken. She passed on the offer for an ER visit (not a fan of hospitals since her surprise surgery). This morning she said she felt better. Scared the taters out of her & me. She has had pre-syncope for several years, but has never actually passed out. So we might have a visit to the heart center again in our future. I don't want to bother with a visit to her pediatrician just to tell me to take her to a specialist.

Take her somewhere.
If you go to the ER they can call in a specialist today and do the required testing on site also today instead of dragging it out for months.

I agree with Stacey. Get her seen. It could be as simple as dehydration, but with her medical history I would be more cautious.

That is terrifying! There are WAY to many places that going from dizzy to down could be fatal.

I am with Stacey on getting her checked out asap.
 
Good morning, no sun here either it teased me a little but then it started raining. @apryl29 I agree with the others, like it or not she needs to get looked at. Not a good time in history to just be passing out places, there just aren't many places where it is perfectly safe to.
On a nastier note, the cat woke me up around two batting something around really loudly so I got up to at least get that mess into another room.
Picked her "toy" up only to discover it was a cadbury cream egg from waaaay over twenty years ago...an antique chocolate egg delicious!
No idea where she found it, cats are magic at that sort of thing.:)

Thank you for your concern everyone. I'll be checking on her when I go home for lunch & will decide if we need the pediatrician or the er depending on the condition of her face. Previously drinking water and eating more salt helped, unfortunately w/ xmas break feeding time is more sugar than anything else. She *knows* the squat down thing to help pump constrict blood vessels in her legs and push the blood back up to her heart.. but she figured it would pass. Plus, it's her 'time'.. so I'm wondering if she was anemic from the blood loss.

I thought you were going to say she had a mouse or something previously alive.
 
Some of you may find this amusing. The thread the "silly person" posted to argue the merits of breaking a broody has been deleted, and not for the reason you would think. He got all butt hurt because someone called him a "boy" who couldn't be taught. Apparently, he is over 18. :th

So he wanted the thread to be deleted. I finally chimed in (I had been watching the thread but staying out of it) and told him to report his thread and ask the mods to delete it. Apparently they did, because the thread is gone now.

I had been reading up hat one too......there were a lot of posts by the OP that contradicted his prior posts.
:hmm
Probably for the best that it's gone.
