Vidya Bagchi wrote:Thanks M. She is ok. It was vasovagal something and I'm told not to worry. It was a hot day yesterday. She doesn't drink much water, had just one lemonade in the morning. The stage was super hot, and she has massive hair. From the beginning of the third song I could see she was uneasy, and son kept telling me she is not singing. She was also swaying a bit on her spot. 5 minutes before her, another girl had stepped out to sit out coz she wasn't feeling well. So when daughter stepped down the stand I thought she is stepping out too. And then bam, she fell straight on the stage. Son thought she died. Anyway, we ran over. Took her outside. A student volunteer brought her water and said he is a lifeguard so he can give cpr, etc if needed. The school people wanted paramedics to check her out anyway. So this lifeguard stayed with us until then. They took her vitals. And she wanted to watch until the end of the show, so we stayed. I texted my sis and she said not to worry, it's vasovagal. Telling you, it's nerve wrecking overall.

The dad had his own gripe, first with her and then I got wrapped up in it too. Two years ago she had had a dizzy spell coz of dehydration. Since then we been constantly reminding her about water. She did fine in all of Florida trip last month, so I thought Chalo she has finally learned. Apparently not. She handles water as if a plug has blocked her throat and nothing will go in. The dad was like, "why didn't YOU make sure she drank water before leaving. When I was taking care of them, I made sure both of them had eight glasses of water each...blah blah blah". Which is true. They three would be in each others face all day about these little minor things when he lived with us for some months last year and he took care of them primarily. Nitpicking over hair, teeth, clothes, water, food, what to say to who. In his mind they both are still 3 years old. It used to be amusing and sad at the same time to see the two gang up against him. Many times I had to come to his rescue when I would see him go near tears, lol. Other times I had to come to their rescue whenever he launched his 30-60 minutes lectures.

Growing up, mom used to yell at me repeatedly. 'marjaani, tu hee mujhe maaregi jaldi mera bp bada bada ke (hindi curse word, you will kill me early by raising my bp).' lol. Guess that's where my own exasperation is coming from.

Both of my kids don't drink much water. They are still on sunny delight, caprisun and my DD used to love apple juice but her taste buds changed. I make popsicles at home and buy them...they are fine with that. They do drink water when the food is spicy. Sometimes I trick them by adding extra spice to their last few bites.

Try cucumber, tomatoes salad or more fruits like watermelon, honeydews, and smoothie? I've read the tomatoes maintain the ph balance. Hopefully you are doing fine.

Get them off of Sunny delight, Caprisun - they are nothing but sugar water with less then 10% juice. You are laying their foundation stone for early diabetes.

Next to cigarettes, Soda pops, the pseudo juices, and energy drinks are the worst health hazards.
