Knee Surgery
 

Please keep my husband in prayer. He is having knee surgery this morning.

My daughter seems to be doing fine after her fainting spell the other night (we called 911 and they took her by ambulance to the hospital). But it is still scary. Please continue to keep her in prayer and for me that I may retain my sanity.

Thank you. :)

I will be praying for your husband & his upcoming surgery, as well as your daughter's fainting spells.
Is she getting checked out?

As for your sanity, well you hang around here sooo,........

J/K, we will stand with you in prayer!:thumbsup

We are home and he is resting. The surgery seems to have gone well.

They did tests on my daughter and concluded she simply fainted. This happened to my son a couple of years ago at school.....he hasn't had one since. It is strange though and scary....so, I do appreciate the prayers anyway. :)

Glad to hear, all is well.
You can count on prayers!

That happened to Hannah (for the first time) when she was only about 8 years old. I FREAKED OUT!!!!! The hospital ran several tests, did an MRI, nothing. Then it didn't happen again till she was 10 or 11...and that time she actually convulsed/seized as well--but again, they couldn't figure anything out.

She has since fainted 2-3 times (sometimes followed or preceded by nausea or vomiting), but the doctor can't find anything wrong. We have found out that she has to have protein for breakfast, and can't eat sugar in the morning, or she will get sick and dizzy very quickly. However, they did blood sugar tests, and that's normal as well.

So I guess--it's just fainting! Sure does scare a mother, though!!!!!!

Thanks for the prayers. My husband seems to be doing very well.

My daughter is not feeling well. She is nauseous, tired and a bit dizzy. She insisted on going to classes today. She has her cell and can call if she needs to.

That sounds very much like what happened to my daughter! I am going to send this to her so she can read it. It is terrifying and hard not to worry. It's funny, but my daughter is very big on eating protein for breakfast when she is going to have a long day. Is your daughter active or fairly sedentary? My daughter walks to classes (which is a fair distance) with a heavy backpack almost daily, but other than that, she is on her computer almost constantly.

ILG, Glad all went well - will continue to pray for your family.

Hannah is very active--but she has to eat the right foods before she can be active. (proteins, some carbs, no sugar at all--not even from fruit.) She plays basketball, rides her bike or plays outside for at least an hour every day (sometimes more), and helps our neighbor muck out horse stalls a couple of times per week.

She was practicing basketball a couple of months ago, and I looked up and noticed that her coach was telling her repeatedly to go to the right, and she couldn't understand him--she kept going to the left, and he was getting frustrated. She was also pale, and moving sluggishly. I called her off the court just in the nick of time--she had to sit down at the sidelines, and was nauseous for about 30 minutes.

She was taking an anti-nausea medicine that's commonly prescribed for IBS, but I can't remember the name of it at the moment (she's out and threw the bottle away without telling me!) It did seem to help if she took it first thing in the morning or if she started feeling nauseous.

Of course, that's just treating symptoms--and I really don't like that kind of medicine. *sigh* I want illnesses to be CURED!!! :foottap

We've found that it's easier to control with diet. Hannah avoids sugary foods, especially first thing in the morning, eats snacks between meals, and has protein/carbs before being active.
