not getting hydrated??

[Guest guest]

A few weeks ago Lindsey passed out in Target,we never made it past the cart

section. She became dizzy,said she's needed to sit down and next thing she

fell straight back on her head, thankfully that part of the floor was carpet.

it

was only a matter of seconds when she came to. I got her to the restaurant

part and gave her an iccee. She's drank some.but was sweating,still dizzy and

her head hurt. She has another story what happened,she doesn't remember

anything. I took her to the ER and and we waited 3 hours to be seen. Cat scan

was

neg and they said her blood work was fine,but the ped a few days later said

it showed she had a viral infection. she's did a finger stick to compare and

her numbers were even lower,she also had a slight fever,just like she did at

the hospital,but acting completely normal and not sick what so ever which is

strange too(100.3)she runs 96,so for her this seems signifant. The

pediatrician did her blood pressure standing up,sitting up and laying down and

it

showed her body is definitely not getting enough to drink. For many months now

lindsey is ALWAYS thirsty and drinking. so now it makes since whys she always

thrirsty! but why isn't her body hydrating herself? We are in Florida and it

is hot,but Lindsey doesn't play outside. there are no girls for her to play

with around here so she's just stays indoors. At target we walked from the

car to Target, when she collapsed,so I don't think being over heated is a

factor.

I never mentioned Lindsey was dx with RSS to the ER PA,and honestly I didn't

remember! We have one geneticist say yes,for sure and 2 others said

maybe,but they want to test for other things which we haven tgot the orders for.

But

a light bulb went off this morning that maybe this could be a RSS thing?

Lindsey is 9 years old, 47 pounds and about 49 inches tall. I'm attaching a

picture i took the other day.
