If you see my reply to Abby above, the doctor explained why that is. Our youngest, however has always been a slight and somewhat delicate child with limited energy, so there was a little more cause for concern when she fainted, I think. She is starting to fill out a little now and getting stronger all the time :)Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-55319048857950354352013-06-13T06:00:01.659-07:002013-06-13T06:00:01.659-07:00We've had a couple of fainting spells with our...We've had a couple of fainting spells with our kids which I think is because they are tall (my nephew fainted in our wedding ceremony probably for that reason) but it has had me worried a bit and wondering if tests are in order.

The description of your day is one that I hope you do not have to repeat. Even when relatively calm and chatting with others, I imagine that a little anxiety was with you, your husband and daughter until you heard those beautiful words about her heart being healthy.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-88554140844511211052013-06-12T14:50:02.231-07:002013-06-12T14:50:02.231-07:00woohoo for good news...and yes, the imagination de...woohoo for good news...and yes, the imagination def will make things bigger than they are...i feel for her exclamation of relief....smiles....childrens hospital can be so sad...but also a great place to go brighten some days....Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-10051714421619835532013-06-12T13:05:12.193-07:002013-06-12T13:05:12.193-07:00Thanks, Val!

I took Hazel to our Children's Hospital when she needed stitches last month, and we also encountered some very kind volunteers and staffers, for which I was so very grateful. <br /><br />Here's to continued good health!Knitikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673861158295570803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-79375975649700097142013-06-12T07:20:01.128-07:002013-06-12T07:20:01.128-07:00Thank you, Lucille :-) It is a weight lifted.

When they sit or stand for long periods the blood pools in their feet, but the mechanism to get that blood quickly to their heads once they stand up or sit again is not quite as developed as their height. Wait times are par for the course here in Canada.
