Today we had something kind of scary happen at church. Harrison was complaining of a bad headache - crying, actually - but I figured he was trying to get out of being there, and also, Hubby was coaching a soccer game and I was alone with the kids and had to teach Primary. So there was nothing I could really do for him.
I went out to the car after the Sacrament was passed, to get something for Roz, and when I came back and opened the door to the building, I heard him screaming. While I was gone, he had tried to tell Bella what was happening, but his voice closed off and he couldn't speak, only gasp. Then his face twitched strangely and he felt like he couldn't move his eye or mouth. His vision became blurry. Then he said "a whole bunch of spit" came out of his mouth. When he could talk again, he started screaming. He was really scared. It freaked Bella out pretty bad too.
Matt Smith offered to keep Carter and Rosalind so they could go to Primary, and I ran home with Bella and Harrison. I called Kaiser, reached an advice nurse, and the three of us described to her what happened. She called a doctor in Portland and got back to us, saying that Harrison would be seen this week and probably have tests performed. They think it was a migraine headache.
Bella's migraines started last year. It was scary for her, too - her peripheral vision disappeared, except for a bright light shining in her eyes. It happened at school while she was taking a test and was immediately excused to go to the nurse's office... then we whipped her into the doctor's office.
I'm glad it's nothing more than migraines... poor Harrison was pretty scared. So was Bella. I don't see her cry often, but she shed some tears yesterday.
