This morning, i woke up not feeling well, felt achey, chills. there's been cold going around. i took a vitamin C tablet, and then walked upstairs, and my mom gave me 2 tylenol. i took the tylenol, and my stomach began to feel not well.i thought i was gonna get sick so i went into the bathroom, i locked the door, and all i remember, was i was standing and then, next thing i knew, i woke up and was flat on my back. i had fainted and hit my head on either the toilet, sink, or door. my mom and Holly heard when i fell and rushed to th bathroom ,i heard them saying ,"chris! chris!". i was able to sit up, and unlocked the door. i was very out of it, and couldn't stand up. my sister Lisa saw me, she said, my face was white. my mom was crying a bit, upset, and worried. they helped me up, and brought me into the kitchen to sit down. my head felt like it was burning, and my eyes it was such a strange feeling, everything looked dim, i couldn't see well. i was scared, and worried. Lisa thought i was having a heart attack or stroke. she said, we gotta get him to the hospital. i was really out of it. Holly went to get my jeans, my mom must have helped me put my socks on, i have no remembrance of her putting my socks on.

my mom, dad and Holly rushed me to backus hospital in our city. it was so brutal cold outside. we arrived at backus, my head was hurting from the fall,  i have a cut on my forehead. my mom told the drs and they brought a wheelchair outside, and brought me into the ER. a bunch of drs ,nurses swarmed the room and had me remove my shirt, they put these stickers on my chest, for ekg. they also gave me a cotton swab up my nose test, and took my vitals, and blood pressure. my blood pressure  was low at times, but stabilzed. Holly had my phone, and was texting our friends to update them, and my mom was texting with family.they gave me an IV. they gave me a stroke test, and kept asking me questions, including when my birthday is. they gave me motrin for my head pain.

They said, my heart is ok. they wheeled me down to the chest x-ray room, and i got 3 chest xrays, and then took me to the CT  scan area. they had me lay flat down on my back, and put me into these huge tube thing and i got a CT scan. i was in it, for about 2 minutes. they then wheeled me back to my room. my parents went home for a bit, and Holly stayed with me in the ER. my mom returned with my sister Lisa. about 2 hours later, they came in with the results. they said, i was dehydrated, i didnt have the flu, but have a viral illness, and syncope (fainting). the doctor said, to eat soup, and to drink plenty of fluids. they gave  me a prescription for ondansetron. my mom is picking up the prescription for me this afternoon. i was discharged from the hospital, and we came home here. i had some soup, and drinking gatorade. i feel wobbley, but am resting. i'm thankful to be ok. i just wanted to update everyone ,and to let everyone know, i'm ok :)
