Blackouts

Last Wednesday, after a weekend of everyone being ill, I decided to take Beth to the Doctors to check her cough out before we took Neive to nursery. It'd been a week and her throat sounded really sore due to all the coughing. She's been struggling to breath and had a really runny nose but no temperature at least.

Next we took Neive to Nursery. Now, When Nevie was 9 months old and starting to walk she decided to try and walk to the kitchen. She let go of the sofa fell and banged her head. Lots of high pitched screams then she blacks out! This was obviously very scary for F and I as we thought she'd died. After calling the ambulance and rushing to the hospital to get her checked out she got the all clear. Seemingly, When Neive experiences bad pain she copes by holding her breath until she passes out. Eventually she catches her breath (you blow in her face to help her) and comes around. So we are walking down the lane to her nursery and she is skipping - actually skipping - to nursery. Normally it's "but mum I want to stay with you". She trips over thin air and lands flat out on the pavement. I'm carrying Beth in the car seat and put her down to pick Neive up. Neive is screaming and screaming and then passes out. The rain starts coming down, Neive is covered in dirt and another mum in the close is trying to call an ambulance. I'm trying to tell her everything is okay whilst blowing on Neives face and she's out longer than normal. Eventually comes around and wants carried the rest of the way. So I'm carrying Neive and Beth all the way down the close and into nursery. By the time we get there I am knackered. I have to strip Neive and eventually calm her down so I could leave. This time it even freaked me out. Every other time we've been indoors and I've been in control. I hope she grows out of this soon!

So this makes us late for Beths playdate at Alisons. All of Neives little friends mums have just had second babies too (or are due at any moment). Daniel and Rosa are 6 months and Lee Lee is 10 months. It's not often the play is baby centric instead it's normally toddler mayhem. So it was lovely getting to play with the babies and of course having a catch up with the mums too.
