My world stopped
I was changing the laundry over and my husband went to use the restroom. Our 20 month was in the room with our 10 year old and climbed up on the bed and fell, face first, landing on her head. Our bed is three feet off the ground and our son said she was standing up, so roughly a five foot fall. I ran into the room and she was unresponsive. She didn't take her first breath for 45 seconds. Her eyes were rolled in the back of her head and her entire body was limp. I lost it. I was screaming for my husband to call 911 and was running around looking for my phone. I was screaming to God to protect my baby who laid lifeless in my arms, aside from shallow breaths. I called 911 and was panicking for them to send someone ASAP. My first time ever needing an ambulance and we moved from having a fire station about a football field away to the boonies where we have one neighbor. I didn't know how long it would take for them to get here.

She's doing great and acting like her normal self! The night was rough just having to wake her up every hour but she was exhausted and just rolled right back over.
I have to make a follow up appointment with her doctor tomorrow - just to check her out and give her a clean bill of health.
Last night I just kept replaying it over and over in my head. It all happened so fast. My husband and I have already experienced how life can change in one second six months ago when we lost Enoch. With Enoch it was a different type of fear: I feared for myself, fear of the unknown. This was just a different level of fear. This was fear for my baby - would she come back to us? Would there be permanent damage? It was just terrible!
Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes! They worked!!
Thank you guys! She is doing great and is in a wonderful mood. She's exhausted but still hasn't fallen asleep and it's nearly 11pm - probably because she's in our bed instead of her own.
Your prayers and thoughts mean the world!
My daughter had a similar accident at about a year and a half old. She was sitting on a bench right next to me and leaned back like she was in a chair and fell off & hit her head. She was unconscious for about 2 minutes & when she came to her eyes were rolled in her head as well. She came in & out of consciousness all the way to the hospital in her ambulance ride but all tests came back clear thank god. These things can happen so quickly and within arms reach of a parent. Don't feel guilty at all, it was an accident and thankfully she is doing well just like my little one did. They are resilient little people no matter how much it kills us to see them hurt. Sending prayers for speedy recovery!
My God I'm shaking reading this it has to be by far the scariest thing to go through...I will pray for your sweet baby and for you! Please get yourself checked too because that is something intense to go through. Please keep us updated and foremost I am beyond happy and relieved that your baby is ok! Hugs!!
Thanks ladies! We are home and resting. It's been a long day and will be a long night with having to wake her up every hour. So grateful my baby is ok!!
We reassured him that it wasn't his fault. He just said, "I tried to catch her but it was just too late."
He's such a good big brother, she's just at that age where she wants to climb and do what she wants.
Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts, she is still napping and I'm just laying here and cuddling her. She's my world, I just keep thinking of all the what-if's.
Something very similar happened to my 4yr old about 6 months ago. I saw the whole thing happen but it was so fast I couldn't stop it. We spent the day in hospital as he knocked himself out like your child. His head hurt for about a month and he was irritable for about 10 days, which the Dr's said was normal. He did have a concussion but that it shouldn't have any lasting effects. He's completely fine now but does remember it. Best of luck.
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
So glad to hear that she's doing okay ❤️
