Fainting...
Today Sofia and I got up early, skipped breakfast (per the Doctor instructions) and headed up to the doctors office. We had to go back this morning to have Sofia's blood taken since we couldn't do it on Monday. We arrived early which was great since there weren't many people in the office ahead of us and it is a "take a number" place not a scheduled appointment. We took our number and sat down. We were quickly called in by the nurse. Sofia did pretty well and only cried a little bit while they were taking her blood. We finished about 8am which I thought was great b/c then I could get Sofia to school almost on time. Well, best laid plans..... After finishing with the blood I took Sofia back out to the reception area. I put her jacket, hat and one glove on when she started to wilt. I thought she was just being silly so I just took her other hand to put her glove on and she just continued to wilt. I looked at her and noticed her eyes roll back in her head and she dropped. Luckily for her I had a hold of her so she didn't hurt herself fainting. I quickly yelled, "PROSIM" since we were in a Czech doctor's office and the lady next to me was already up and getting the nurse. They were over to us very quickly and picked up Sofia and brought her to the bed in the doctor's office. She came to very quickly but had to be convinced to eat chocolate and drink water. She was groggy and I don't think she understood what was happening. We stayed there for quite a while. They took her blood pressure a couple times and listened to her heart. After all was well they let us go. Sofia was still a little tired so I carried her to the tram. I knew things still weren't right when she told me she didn't like the donut or chocolate muffin I bought her. I let her sit on my lap on the tram and by the time we reached her school she was all better and ready to play with her friends. I guess she is just like me....we need all of our blood in our bodies and without some of it we just pass out.
