Scariest moment of our lives...

My heart is full and my mind is racing through thoughts right now. I am blogging this because this is basically my journal.
Tonight Derek and I learned some life changing lessons. I will start by just saying...hug and love on your kids tonight because they are truly God's precious gifts to us. We need to cherish and love them to our fullest capacity.
I had just put kylee jo to bed and Derek was holding Nash. I had gotten off the phone with my mom trying to help her with a computer thing. Derek came and set Nash right beside me on the counter while I finished up. I closed the computer and went to pick him up and in that second he fell back and hit his head on our counter. I quickly picked him up and brought him in the living room holding him tight, waiting for him to take that huge breath. Well he finally took a breath and then passed out. His eyes were open and rolled back in his head. I quickly shook him a sec and then told D to call 9ll. As I stood their so many thoughts crossed my mind. I quickly assessed him and thought back to what I had learned in nursing school/CPR class. Again, as my baby lay their lifeless, so many thoughts were going through my head. I couldn't believe this was happening. I did a little sternal rub and in my mind was pleading for him to start breathing. Derek was searching for his phone and I quickly handed him mine. He couldn't get mine to unlock so while all this was going on he ran to the neighbors and barged in their door. Kylee was sitting at my side saying "mom whats happening?" she was so scared. I then went outside and by that time Nash looked up at me disoriented. I told kylee to go inside and say a prayer for Nash. She did....when she came back outside he started crying. I fully believe it was that sweet child's prayer. I know that the Lord hears and answers our prayers. I know that he is constantly watching over us. And I know that he loves us, each one of us individually.
The paramedics checked him out and we talked a bit. They said that it was probably him hitting his head so hard and his body basically restarted itself. Like pressing a restart button. I was so grateful for how fast they got there. I was so grateful for such great neighbors who were there for us. Derek and I feel so grateful for these two precious gifts in our lives. Words cannot describe the emotions we feel at this moment. Looking back, I know that we did the right thing. You never know how your going to react in situations like that. But I can say my sweet little boy is asleep right next to me tonight. And sweet kylee jo isn't too far. She stayed up with us and prayed with us as we expressed our gratitude for how this evening played out. I think sometimes those scary situations put life in perspective for you. Life isn't about things, or being busy. Life is simple, and our sweet joys are right in front of us.
