Failure to Fly....2

Ok, Ok....I guess I can tell the REST of this story since my sister has "outed" me. Let me preface this by saying that I am a diabetic and on this day I hadn't eaten ALL day! My Parker had already been seen by the trauma team, been through the CT scan and been brought back to the emergency room so they could observe him and then do the sutures under his eyebrow. They wrapped him up like a papoose(which he didn't like!) and proceeded to stitch him up. Well, I started to feel a little sick....and thinking it was because of seeing him in pain and upset....I sat down with my head in my hands. This did NOT make me feel better! In fact, I started to feel worse! It took me about a minute to realize that I wasn't sick because of watching, I was in a full-fledged low blood sugar. I have NEVER felt that awful! All I could do was pat the back of my husbands leg and mutter "I need milk or candy". Luckily, my husband was paying attention to me. He ran over to another nurse and told her that I was diabetic and he needed milk quickly. She ran and got some orange juice. Now, mind you, it was getting much worse for me! When they brought the juice, I downed it in two seconds flat! By that time, the doctor had rushed over and I remember him saying that I needed to be put on a gurney. My husband and brother had to lift me up and try to get me OVER to the bed. Then....I don't remember ANYTHING until my bottom hit the bed. I woke up and realized that I felt a WHOLE lot better! Yes, as the nurses put it, I was the ONLY ADULT admitted to the childrens hospital! They teased me unmercifully! Things like....do you want a bear to hold? ...you're a VERY big little girl.....etc. To make matters worse, I couldn't go to my baby...I had to stay in MY bed with an IV in my arm and all the nurses laughing at me and doctors walking by doing double takes! My most embarrassing moment....brought to life in color!

Failure to Fly....

Ok, so this is a picture of my little Parker. Well, actually this is a picture of Parker when he was only about 1 years old. He is now almost three but since I'm having problems with my external hard-drive and can't access it....this will have to do! Last week, my little boy discovered how to unlock a window and open it. Yes, people, he failed to fly.....he landed on his face! My baby fell out of the second story window and landed on some bikes which saved his life. I am so incredibly grateful to my heavenly father for blessing our family by keeping him safe. The only thing that happened to him was that he had 10 stitches directly under his eyebrow. There was no damage to the eye, to his head, no broken bones, and hardly any bruising. He had a little bit of bruising on his mouth and cheek. His eye, of course, was bruised and swollen shut, but that is already gone down. When I think of what could have happened, I just want to fall on my knees and thank the Lord for this miracle. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Needless to say, we now have locks that the kids can't open on all the windows. I would recommend them for all of your windows too! I NEVER would have imagined him doing what he did , but it could happen to ANYONE! Better safe than sorry. I hope that no one will have to go through what my son did and I hope that no mothers will have to experience what I did.
