Scary Night

Tonight started out to be a great night. Ben got home early at 4:30. We made dinner, played with the kids, froze out behinds off in our house(something we do everyday at this house), and just had a great night! While Ben was upstairs, Braeden and I decided that we were going to scare him. We hid in the closet and waited. While we were in there, Braeden decided it was a good idea to play monkey on one of my un-used closet rods. I turned my back for one second and it came down. He landed on his back and then tried to get up. He walked two or three steps towards me and his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he turned sheet white. He looked terrible. Then he went down. I screamed for Ben. He was on the toilet at the time, but he dropped everything, except his pants because they were already down...and ran in. We have a two door closet because it is a walk in. Mind you we are renting and it is a crappy walk-in closet. :( By then he was on the floor passed out. He was still out. Then Ben made it to Braeden and he started crying. He was still laying on the floor. He had peed and pooped. Ben asked him how many fingers he was holding up and he got that right. He slowly got up and then he wanted to "just have a nap." Poor little guy. I cleaned him up and we got him into bed. Ben kept talking to him and we got him some water. I asked him if he was worried or scared about something and he told me that he was worried about his fall. We talked about if for a while and for the first time, my little boy and I had a heart to heart talk with real emotions. It was really nice. I was still scared to death about my little guy and the fact that he just passed out and lost control of his bowels and everything else and it scared him to death too. Poor little guy. I hate when things like this happen. They scare me to death. It is usually me passing out, but this time it was my 4 year old. uggg...I cannot get that image out of my  mind of his lights going out.

We prayed to out Heavenly Father to watch over our Braeden and he prayed for comfort. I know that Heavenly Father is watching out for my little man extra tonight. I am also thankful that when I scream for Ben, that I am also screaming for a professional critical care nurse. Ben came running and so did someone who can help me in every medical way possible. It is times like these that I feel my guardian angels near. They are giving me comfort and strength and mourning with me. I...am thankful for that and so blessed to have that as a part of my life.
