A Scary Moment For A Mom...

As I was making preparations for my youngest daughter’s birthday last Wednesday, her birthday was Thursday, something very scary happened to my daughter.  The day started very strange with her still being asleep when I left for work.  It stayed that way when I came home from work and she was very distanced with me and it seemed whatever I did it was annoying her.  The afternoon went on with me on the edge trying to not be annoying and after dinner she left for her tennis clinic.  Around 8:00 pm she came home, driven by a friend, saying she left her car at the tennis club and felt like she was in a dream and was very confused.  I knew it was not dehydration because she drinks over 100 oz of water a day.  She had a decent meal before she left but she is a calorie counter and with her work out she may have been low and did not have enough fuel.  Then the headache started and after talking with a friend who was an ER doctor he told her it sounded like ACM - Acute Confusional Migraine.  It can be triggered by heat or stress; she had both.  The real concern here is that my daughter has lost all memory of this day.  She woke up on her birthday with a slight headache and no memory of the day before.  Now that I look back on that day I realize she was not herself.  We are praying that it was a migraine and not something more serious.  As a mom it is always tough watching your child hurt and also very scary for something like this to happen and not know if it could or will happen again.
We celebrated her birthday with family and friends, staying with in the Covid limit, and she has recalled everything except what happened on the day before her birthday.  A scary moment for a Mom!
