Last night was probably the scariest night so far in my career as a mom...Erik and I were in the living room waiting for a friend to come pick E up for the Nuggets game when we heard a "thud" and than screaming. I have never heard Molly scream like that before! Erik ran down the stairs to check on her. I waited a few seconds, and when it was quiet I went down to see what had happened. I walked in on a very frightening sight...Molly was in Erik's arms, her eyes were rolling back in her head, she was struggling to hold her head up, and then her eyes closed and her head fell back into Erik's hand! I checked her head for a bump...nothing. She was only out for a second, and we asked Ava what had happened. She said Molly was trying to stand on the ball and fell into the dresser, and hit her eye. Erik called his cousin (who is a PA) and she walked us through what to look for. After sitting on the bed for just a minute, Molly was walking a talking as usual. we checked her eyes with a flashlight, they constricted the same. I thought for sure she would have a black eye today, nope. You would never know anything had happened. But if I never see a child pass out again, it will be too soon!Saturday, March 15, 2008
