At 10:30 Tuesday evening I received a phone call from my aunt that my mother had passed out at her monthly card club and was being taken to the e/r in an ambulance. No one could reach my sister so we woke the kids and took off. Fortunately, less than half way there I received word that Mom seemed to be absolutely fine and my sister was there. It turns out my mother was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope...which means she is going to faint sometimes. There are specific triggers that have to do with her health, so it's not necessarily that she is in danger of losing consciousness or anything. Generally speaking, she is fine.
However, Robert has been having some pains. At first I discounted them, but they continued. Robert decided to seek out the athletic trainer yesterday, and after a doctor appointment this morning, it seems as though Robert has a hernia. My extremely healthy child (he was ALWAYS the healthiest) has certainly presented us with plenty of health issues in the last year! He will have to see a surgeon, and we will have to work that in around all of the beginning of the year things. The doctor did clear him to continue running and he can even compete. In addition, there is a chance the recovery will be short so hopefully he won't lose the entire season!
