Savannah and I went to the Draper Temple last night to do sealings. There were 3 other couples and a single lady as well. Everything was going great, except one lady had to stop because she was feeling faint. No problem, another lady took over. Then everyone traded places and an older couple were doing the sealings. After a bit of time, the older lady said she was getting dizzy and needed to sit. Not a problem says the sealer. So Savannah and I take a turn. We are doing great and have now been kneeling for 15 or so minutes. I remember looking at Savannah and using my eyes asking if she was okay. She said she was getting warm. The sealer was almost finished so I thought after this, we can sit down.....the next thing I remember is all these people around me and someone saying that the medical personnel are on the way. After a few minutes of laying on the ground, I see Savannah and she is telling me that I had blacked out. The temple engineer arrives and I get taken to the basement in a wheelchair to get checked out. The engineer says it is the special tour of the temple. After half an hour, I get changed and am wheeled out front to meet Savannah. My head hurts, my neck hurts, and I feel like I am going to throw up. The engineer gave me a great big trash bag for the last symptom. As I am sitting in the front lobby, the Temple President comes out to talk to me. He asks how my night has been. I said quite interesting. He asks me when I got endowed, I told him in 2002. He asks if I served a mission, I told him Fort Worth Texas. Next he asks how long I have been in the wheelchair. I can't properly think and say tonight. He looks puzzled and says tonight?? I said yes, I passed out in the temple. At this time, his eyes get big and says WHAT?? The kind engineer explains what happened and the poor Temple President says I hope that everything is alright. Then Savannah had the car outside and we drove to the ER. After some wonderful meds, X-rays, CAT scan, and more meds, I am permitted to go home. It was quite the experience!

Oh my! Sounds like quite the experience! With the other two people feeling faint, and Savannah feeling warm, are you sure there wasn't something wrong? Was the air not functioning correctly?
Hope you are feeling better!
