The Phone is Ringing Do I Answer.......

I was doing the normal daily duties around the house when the phone rings.  I look to see who's calling (deciding if I'm going to answer), the girls school.  My mind is going a mile a minute.  I'm thinking they did say anything this morning about not feeling good, both are good kids (only #3 and 4 attend this school) and then my heart sinks as I'm thinking what happened.  Who knew so much could go through your head in just a few seconds.   I answer and the caller said, hi Mrs. Jones, yes I reply, this is so and so from your child's school (in my head I'm saying, I know hurry and get on with it because I already know who it is not to mention you can hear somethings wrong by the sound of her voice) I have #4 with me and she had an incident. That can mean a million things, she peed (no she hasn't done that since she was 2), then I start to thing she broke something, thats as far as I got. Okay, I said hesitantly.  She passed out, oh my gosh as I start thinking about a million more things.  Let me give you a little background, when I was a Junior in high school I hit my elbow in the corner of my car door one morning before cheer practice.  It hurt like crazy when I turned to my friend and said I feel like I'm going to pass out.  After that I remember being on a backboard, strapped down and telling my cheer coach, who was in the ambulance sitting next to me, that my head hurt.  When you have a huge goose egg on the back of your head and strapped to hard board it will hurt.  Next thing I know Im a hospital room with my mom, dad (mom and dad were divorced so dad wasn't normally there), my brother, his girlfriend a few school teachers and some other friends from school.  The doctors start asking me if I remember what happened?  I told them I hit my elbow and passed out.  Anything else?  No, thats about it.  Well, you passed out and fell back, hit your head and you were out for over an hour.  It took 6 fireman to strap you down.  What?  I had gone into convulsions then started fighting with the people who were trying to help me.  I was yelling and screaming so loud my mom, friends had gone to my house to tell her she needed to come to the school, who was on her way could hear me before she was even at the school.  One teacher I will never forget, you know the coolest teacher who lets nobody get away with anything in his class, said you are the only student who will ever get away with talking to me that way.  Man and I don't even remember it but the rest of the school did.  It was early before school but lasted well past the start of the day so everyone was just arriving to school to see the show.  So back to #4.  She passed out and bumped her head.  Okay, here we go.  She fine now.  Thank goodness.  She just finished recess and wasn't feel very good.  She went to her teacher to tell her and out she went.  The teacher tried to catcher, she broke her fall but still bumped her head.  There wasn't a bump so we are thankful for the teachers reflexes.  She called the nurse for help and they wheeled her to the office.  On the way she started throwing up.  Best guess is she got overheated and needed to cool down.  They said she had lost all color and didn't respond for a few minutes but seemed to be getting back to herself.  When I got there she still looked a little pail but perked up when she saw me.  I think I was a relieved to see her as she was to see me.  She was doing better than emotionally than I thought she would have been.  That was thanks to her sister #3 who came up to be with her and was just called back class seconds before I arrived.  I asked her what happened?  I felt dizzy and couldn't see.  Then someone pushed me and I fell down.  Nobody pushed you sweetheart.  How did I fall down?  You passed out.  Why do you think someone pushed you?  I heard the kids say that after I fell down.  My heart melted, I love her so much and I'm so thankful she is safe.  She took about a 45min nap in the car while we waited for #3 to finish a test and then drive home.  When 3 got into the car I asked her if she knew what happened?  In the luck room they pick people to return the lunch buckets to all the classrooms.  I was picked and hurried to get #4's class.  Another girl came to me, said my sisters in that class can I have it.  I thought about it for a second and almost let her but said so is my sister and I want to see her.  When I got to the room #4 wasn't there and I asked wheres my sister.  They told me she went to the nurse so I went to see her.  That when I found out what happened.  I stayed with her for until my teacher called me back to class.  I'm grateful for #3 and her innocent little spirit.  The spirit moved her to check in on her sister and she followed, who could ask for more.  When we got home she laid on the couch for about an hour, did her homework and then was up to her normal self.  Up running around and playing with her sisters.  Today she knows that if she's getting to hot to get a teacher and go inside for the rest of recess not to mention all the staff will be keeping an eye on her.  Later that evening the principal called to make sure she was doing okay.  He asked if this was a normal thing for her?  Um no, never happened before.  I think he thought it happened often because I wasn't freaking out when I got there.  He is a new principal and doesn't know what we do for a living.   It might be a little harder when its your kid but the 20min drive helped and I knew if it was that bad they would have called and ambulance.  The only thing that worries me a bit is that her health in the hands of others when we are not there.  Another day in the crazy life of the Jones family.
