Kate gave us a big scare today. We were at church, just getting out of Sacrament meeting and Kate started acting really funny (kind of like she needed to throw up). She started losing her color really quick and noticed she wasn't breathing. Bryan rushed her out and started CPR when Kate finally came out of it. In the meantime, someone had called 911 and the paramedics showed up. Even though she was breathing again, she had gone into shock. I rode in the ambulance and Bryan followed in the car to American Fork Hospital. After several tests, everything seemed to be pretty normal. We noticed Kate getting sick shortly after Bryan returned from South America and think that he must have brought back some kind of sickness, but Kate seemed to be feeling much better. The doctor thinks that she somehow had excessive mucus she was trying to get out and it blocked her airway causing her to pass out. We are so thankful that it wasn't a seizure or anything more serious.
Kate was only in the hospital for a few hours and is home now and doing great. In fact, her pediatrician was called in and he thought that she looked better than ever, so we're hoping whatever it was is gone now. Kate is always keeping us on our toes, and amazes us how resilient she is. We told her that it was a pretty extreme way to try and get out of church.....and that next time, she can just throw a tantrum or blowout her diaper when she wants to go home from church : ) Even though this was a very scary time, we feel so blessed that everything turned out okay.

Oh my! I am so sorry. That is soooo scary. Do you need anything??
She must have learned that from Bryan...I've seen him do some pretty creative things to get out of class!
Like Father, Like Daughter?
Okay Kate needs a spankin! It is a good thing she is so stinkin' cute! That must have been really scary I'm glad she is okay.
