Is AD alright now?? I can see the bruise on his head. Poor daddy! ANgel must be overly upset over the fall. Hope she is alright now!! Please give her a hug and a kiss on her forehead for me.. I can imagine her shock when she saw what happened to her daddy. I would too. Hey AM, I had a shocked when I read this post! Is AD alright now?? I can see the bruise on his head. Poor daddy!

That doesn't sound common to me and i thought it might be best not to take things lightly and if there's a need, go for a check up? Hi AM and AD,

I also had a shock while i read this entry but while i feel upset for Angel, i was wondering if you all figured out why did AD suffer from a blackout? That doesn’t sound common to me and i thought it might be best not to take things lightly and if there’s a need, go for a check up?

Actually, he first fell against the wall and I thought he was pretending (because sometimes, he likes to play such tricks on us) but when I witnessed him falling with his glasses scratching the wall, I knew something was wrong. Everything happened within split seconds! We are not sure about the blackout, too. Perhaps he is too stress over his exam? I suggested a check up, too, but the AD is not very keen. He feels fine now. :) Still feeling bruised on his head and can't lie on the left. I think he can't wait for his exam to be over! Hi Jean, Nicky and Jazzmint, I, too, had a shock when it happened.

Maybe you can think of getting him some supplements like gingko and vit B to help him tide over his stress periods. I gave that to my dear husband too and he said it's helpful esp when he is feeling stress at work. Take care. Hi AM, does AD always have the giddy spell?

Does he have low blood pressure or anaemia? Sometimes standing up too quickly after being in a squatting position can cause blackouts. Anyway, want to say I saw your tag on my blog, Thanks. It's really good to know I'm not alone in my worries! :-) Hi! Glad to hear he’s better. Does he have low blood pressure or anaemia?

I will check out at Boots today the Vitamin B supplements. Is the gingko a form of supplements, too? The spells did occur recently and then it led to the blackouts! I was saying maybe there is something lacking in the diet, too! Currently, he is drinking ginseng. Thanks so much! Hi Jean, thanks for the info!

Yes, I think she was on auto-pilot, too, when eating her bread. I wasn't worried about her not being loving or concerned but was worried about the shock that had registered at that moment. You are really right to say that she was shaken and didn't know how to register, too. Hi mom of cairo, thanks for enlightening me on sympathy pain.

I, too, felt that it could have been due to low blood pressure or amnemia and requested that he has it checked, too. I'm sure there are many parents out there with worries like us! But the link on your article was fantastic! Like you, I'm still going for the naturalistic learning. *smile* Hi tjmummy, thanks for dropping by.

He seems fine now and the wound has healed completely, too. Actually, he had been having dizzy spells before it augmented into a blackout! This has never happened before! First time in 31 years!

Is Alternative Dad okay? Ought to see GP since he's been having dizzy spells? From what I see, Angel looks confused and perhaps upset by AD fainting, probably very shocking for a little girl. I do hope she's okay now too? *hugs* Hope everyone is okay now. I’m sorry to hear what has happened. Is Alternative Dad okay? Ought to see GP since he’s been having dizzy spells?

Like you have mentioned, it is so hard to even see a GP here, it can be so deterring sometimes! Angel can now talk about it, I think she still cannot quite understanding 'fainting' because whenever we talk about it, she will ask me, "What happened?" Hi Jean, thanks for the info! Hi Mandy, you are right that it is not usual for a man his age to experience this. We miss you guys, too! I was asking Howard if he can come over some time! We will meet soon, ok!
