Another fainting episode...

Last night, Nora passed out again.

It's been about 6 months since she's had any "episodes", but last night she was very upset and she once again stopped breathing and passed out. This was probably the longest episode she's had.

Her lips turned blue.

She was making a noise, which sounded like grinding teeth, but Tim was able to get his finger in between her teeth, so we aren't sure what the noise was.

She took a VERY LONG time waking up. She would open her eyes, but not focus on us, then close them again, then open and again wouldn't focus. She started rambling nonsense, while she was in and out.

She was all sweaty and tired when it all ended.

We obviously were scared and unsure what to do. Whenever we talk to the doctors, they say it's a "breath holding spell" and that it is normal in some children.

It doesn't feel normal to us.

For me, it was very reminiscent of my experience with my sister in law having a seizure. It really looked like that, but Nora wasn't moving.

Please pray that whatever this is, God would remove it from Nora's little body.
