Today, we experienced our first "breath holding spell." Neither Jeff nor I witnessed what triggered the dramatics, but we both saw the result. Jeff was holding Mallory and she was obviously very upset. She usually does the whole silent cry thing followed by blowing your ear drum with the loudest screech. Well, today the silence lasted a bit longer than usual followed by slumping over in Jeff's arms. We all about passed out. I quickly grabbed her and gave her a reviving tousle. I have never been so excited to hear her scream. That seriously made my heart stop. Brady has never been one for drama, so this is new. I'm not a big fan.
Dr. Brady has offered to teach her a few coping mechanisms that keep everyones blood pressure at a nice even level 1. eat cookies 2. rake the sand in the zen garden 3. go to your happy place 4. have a stiff drink (to clarify that our children don't drink Brady is referring to apple juice sans water). Hopefully one of these homeopathic remedies will keep our girl alert through the tough times.
