The nurse from Mercede's school today called and said that while Mercede was on a work site, they thought she passed out. They said her head fell forward and they had trouble bringing her too. The nurse thinks if she would of passed out, she would of fallen over, so she think she may have fallen asleep. Mercede has never fallen asleep while doing something, so that would be odd. Her teacher thinks she passed out because she was working with some bolts and then her head went down quick. Mercede started prozac on Wednesday for her OCD, so that could make her more tired. I'm making her an appointment just to check her out. I forgot to include earlier (just adding this in this post now) that Mercede's last blood test showed her having low glucose, and I was told if she seemed dizzy or faint to feed her! Geez, maybe they should of gave her further test.
Here is something interesting. Mercede was born with a Atrioventricular Canal Heart Defect (Cheyenne had the same defect), she had open heart at 6 months of age and then when she was 16 she had to have her mitral valve replaced with a mechanical valve. I just looked up photo's of them. Weird to think of her heart having one of these.
This is odd

Oh my hope she is o.k. Please let us know! Much Love
Scary! Hope you get an appointment soon and some answers. Praying.
You should give warnings when you are going to show medical pictures. I didn't know I was such a wimp. Once I got over the shock it was interesting though. It's amazing what those who aren't queasy can do!
What a scary situation. I hope it's nothing serious and that she was just tired and dozed for a moment.
Holy Cow - I hope she's OK! Keep us posted!
I'm with my mom and we just found your site. I am glad to have some other teenagers bloggin out there. I had heart surgery too so my mom was using your pictures to tell me more about it. Good luck. we will be thinking about you.
Scary!! Girl, keep us posted as soon as you get her in to the doctor!!!
Oh no! I hope it was just some weird fluke thing. It's maybe ust the meds regulating ?? Hope she feels better soon!
Oh man. I hope all is ok. Please keep us updated.
Wow! I hope she's okay!! Keep us posted on what the doctor says.
Oh no! I hope it's not something too serious... My sister just had her mitral valve repaired, they thought they were going to have to replace but were able to fix it... a replacement isn't out of the question in her future though...
What a lot to have gone through for her and for you. I hope she's alright and she just fell asleep. Please let us know how she is.
I hope she is okay!!
That's scary she fainted. But glad she seems ok. Just monitor her closely for a while.
The heart valve is kind of cool looking. That's wild to imagine that inside her heart!
Sorry-can't look at the pics; I'm eating supper... Hope all goes well..
How is Mercedes doing? I hope she's okay. I'm interested to see what happened?
Wow. I can't imagine going through multiple heart surgeries with my children. How did you stay sane?
Hope you get some answers about Mercedes fainting!
hope you get this figured out...the uncertainty is always so frustrating...scary.
Oh I am so sorry I missed all of this with my stupid busy and often crappy life! I hope that she is getting better and glad that she will be seeing the doctor. You have been through so much with your kids, I think you are awesome!
OMG, that's horrible. I hope she's OK and will always be OK.
