Last night, instead of putting my girls to bed early and going to Krispy Kreme with my siblings, we went to the ER.
After a long, hot evening, I had given Leah a bath and we were going downstairs to get her s snack and a sippy of milk. I was a couple steps above her. I turned my back for a second and heard a thud..... I looked down and immediately picked her up. She quickly lost consciousness, and it scared me sooooo bad. Scared doesn't even begin to describe how I felt. I was holding my limp baby in my arms and imagining the absolute worst.
My mom called 911 and my dad quickly gave Leah a blessing. She started to look around and cry and her color came back.
The firefighters and the EMTs came within 2 minutes and looked at her and quickly began reassuring me that she would be fine. I was literally wreck. They were so kind to me. My brother grabbed the car seat to put in the ambulance. By this time Leah had realized that a lot of excitement was going on and was clinging to me. Addie had no idea what was going on and started to freak out. My youngest sister took her to another room. My brother and I rode in the ambulance to the hospital, without the siren. While on our way, Leah perked up and started chatting with the EMT.
Upon our arrival to the emergency room, we were wheeled very quickly to the pediatric part of it. The nurses and doctor came in pretty quickly to check her out. She was nervous around all the people. As the doctor checked her, I became more calm. She had no broken bones, no bumps or lumps, her eyes were reacting, and no throwing up. The doctor said a CT scan was pretty unnecessary based on how she was doing. We stayed for another hour or so for observation, and then we were discharged. We finally left the hospital about 11. I had to wake her up in the middle of the night, but she has been doing just fine today.
So, we added some flavor to our quiet week at my parents. Mike is at home and it was hard for me to not have him here, but everything turned out fine.
