Hospitalized!!

I was resting at home, when I received a called from school and told me Geraldine was unconscious!!! My heart nearly stopped!!! I was so terrified and was crying and telling myself pls don't let anything happen to my gal! I called CH and told him to rush down to the school and I speed all the way to school, hoping to reach there before the ambulance.
When I was there, Geraldine was crying for me. Teachers told me she lost conscious for about 10 mins and had fits when she woke up!! The principal quickly drove us to Mt Alvernia to see her usual PD Dr Ong. I was so worried, Geraldine was so tired and keep falling asleep.... Dr Ong says usually fits is related to sudden increased in temp and running a high fever but the strange thing was, her temperature wasn't that high to cause a fit in the first place and we didn't have any family history. Thus, she was hospitalized to be put under observation and some blood test to be run. Both CH and myself stayed overnight in the hospital with her... my poor daring... it pains me to see them take blood from her, but surprising she didn't cry. I think she was too tired to know what the nurses were doing. Dr Ong came to see her in the evening and said to closely monitor her fever, if too high she might go into a fit again. We were so worried....and Geraldine was crying to go home. Nobody get to rest that night as she was waking up and having problem sleeping. I was feeling really terrible too with my MS and giddiness. We were all so glad to go home the next day and to further monitor her fever. Both of us pray hard that this is a one time occurrence and she will be fit and healthy and it won't come back again if not she will have to go for brainwave testing.
