emergency...
So we had a rather close call, and quite a scare, and well, one hell of a night just now....
ok so there's free wireless internet here in the lobby... and i was here doin my thing (my mom and dad went to pick up my brother at the airport, and i went downstairs to "play") when i realized i had better get back to the fam... (this is where i ended my last post, by the way,)... and as i'm rushing back to the room/suite/whatever it's called, i'm having my usual "mom panic" envisioning ed with two screaming babies not knowing what to do... cuz every breastfeeding mom (or husband of) knows, there's only one thing that will quiet that baby... any way... i get to the room, and everyone is asleep!
ok so that's not the big deal.. i'm just catching up...
the rest of the preliminaries is something about how both my parents have a rediculous amount of pills that they each take...
ok, so, on with the story...
me and ed and adora are having our pleasant little meal together... chloe' being totally stuffed herself and passed out on the couch already... when all of a sudden we find these tiny little white pills on the table by Adora's hand that had been repeatedly back and forth from her mouth to the table for awhile now...
we both go into a panic, seeing as, even though we have trained our daughter rather well to not put random things in her mouth... we were, after all, just eating, and she could have, at any moment, put one or moreof these little devils into her mouth, and us not have noticed.... so as one of us is searching through all the pills to identify these ones, the other calls my dad to ask what in the world prednisone was... (my dad takes a lot of pills, and some of which are for his heart, so needless to say we were a little more than freaked out) and finding out it was a steroid, we call 911...
now, we didn't know for sure if she had actually eaten one, but of course, we had to be safe, and so they send the crew out, who, after going through all the questioning and what not, decide there's nothing they can do but insist she go to the hospital and get checked out... which is exactly what she did... daddy went with her, i stayed with the baby, (who eats incessently by the way)... and counted the seconds, litterally, till after about 20 calls back and forth, between ed and i, my dad and ed, and my dad and i, till finally they released her, with the only assurance being, if she did eat the steroid, it's no big deal, but if she ate any of the heart pills, or possibly one of my moms hormonal pills, than that's a big deal... but since, even if they drew blood and did tests, it would take a few days for the results, they said just to watch her for any unusual behavior....
but they did say, that if she did eat any of the scarry pills, we probably would have noticed a reaction by then....
so i guess that's all to say, she's fine... but man what an intense ride that was on renee's emotional roller coaster!!!
i really honestly and seriously do not think i could handle it if anything really bad happened to Adora... or chloe for that matter... or eddie either...heck anybody i love...
life is so precious...
what a gift we have...
what an incredible, amazing an wonderful treasure, it is to have children,
and what a nerve-racking, sanity-stealing, breath-taking, mind-numbing, and collosal reality check it is as well!!!
Oh Lord my God, please I ask You, let me savor every moment, let me treasure every breath and blink of the eye... let me truly be in awe of You, every second of this life, for You are worthy... how quickly it all can fade away... life that is here one minute, could be completely gone the next...please god, let me not take even one instant for granted!!!
and thank you for my children... please continue to protect them as You so graciously have... and though my heart dares to ask, as a favor, that they may outlive me, my spirit begs, still more, that You would grant me the strength, faith and courage to withstand whatever trial You have for me... and not just for withstandings sake, but for Your perfect work to be complete in me!!!
Let It Be So...(amen)
