I hesitate writing this blog, because I don't want anyone to get worried. Bailey and I had a very scary morning the other day. We were in her room getting dressed. Anyone who knows Bay, knows how much she loves to jump. She was holding onto her bed frame and jumping up and down when she lost the gripping and fell on the bed frame. The bed frame sort of chopped her in half. She started to cry (really hard) and never took a breath, causing her to pass out. I freaked! Holding your little baby and watching her little body go limp, I felt helpless. I screamed her name probably a dozen times, blew in her face and she finally started to come in and out. I didn't know what to do. When she came back, she was very lethargic. She kept telling me she can't breath, she wanted to go to sleep, she couldn't feel her feet. I called my neighbor and she dropped what she was doing and rushed right over. After all the medical training I've had, you think I would know what to do, but it is a different story when it's your kids, I went bananas! Let me remind you , Bay is just fine. We went to the Dr. and she simply had the wind knocked out of her. There are a few things I learned with this experience.
- I want to live closer to family. I was terrified and I felt so alone. Our closest family is at least 40 min away, including my husband on work days. I wish we were closer!
- I am so grateful for our health. I don't know why it takes something like this to make you realize the things you take for granted everyday.
- I have the best neighbor! I am so glad that we are close enough, where i feel like I can call you when I need someone so bad. I couldn't have dreamed of better neighbors. Thanks for dropping what you were doing to rush home to help me. We love you guys!
I could go on, but the kids want my attention, duty calls! :)
