A MOTHERS WORST FEAR (almost)
Ok so Tuesday night Coty and I decided to go see the movie Hancock. So we decide to get a babysitter for Tristan. Well, as we were dropping him off to the babysitter I get back into the car and I just got the feeling that I should not leave him, but of course I decided I was just being paranoid and plus Coty's mom lives across the street. As we were getting out of the movie and on our way to pick up my son. Cotys phone rings and its his mom I hear her say Go to Utah Valley Hospital and Tristan and accident. The babysitter took him swimming and He fell and hit his head when they got to hime he was purple and not breathing. They called 911 and Charlie, Coty's moms fiance had revived him and he threw up a ton of water. My heart stops. Coty starts freaking out asking is he alive is he ok. and I start freaking out. We get to the hospital and the babysitter comes towards me and says you probably hate me now and I am sorry and all I can think is where is my baby I want my baby. So I tell her to not talk to me right now and head into the hospital the social worker meets me right away and says there is a team of doctors working on him he was crying when I was in there. And the doctor will come to talk to me. All this time I have not gotten to go see my baby. They take me into the consultation room and I wait. That is a scary room. The doctor comes in and says that he has a concussion and they are going to do a CT. He then tells Coty and me that 90% of the time they have bleeding on the brain and will have to be transported upto UofU and most likely because of the way he is acting that is whats going to happen. I can barely listen to anything the doctor is saying only thinking I WANT MY SON! We get to see him before he goes to get the CAT scan and that was horrible. The had 4 or 5 doctors on him one holding is head straight so he could not move his neck and oxygen on him and he is going in and out. and I try to hold his hand and he does not grip it. The sight made me want to fall over and curl into a ball and cry. I call his name and he does nothing. So off I go to the scary room to wait for him to go to get the pictures of his brain. This is where I get a lesson in the power of prayer. He comes back and starts to point at everyone and I start talking to him and asking him questions wheres mommy eye, nose, and mouth and he points at it all and tries to take off the thing keeping his head straight. The doctor comes in and says that the CT shows neg and they just want to keep him for observation for a few hours so we were in th ER until midnight. Tristan threw up alot of water all night but they said that is to be expected. We got to take him home and I slept next to him all the rest of the night. That morning he wakes up like nothing happened. He is afraid of water now though. But that was the scariest thing I have had to go through in a long time. He is doing Great now!

Oh my GOSH, what a horrible experience! That's the kind of thing that makes you never want to get a babysitter again! I'm afraid of it now, just from reading about that. I'm so glad he's okay!!!
And THAT is why I am sooo scared to leave my kids with anyone besides family! I am sooo glad that he is OK! I can't even imagine the fear that you went through. I get that sickening feeling when Lucy trips and skins her knee. I am so glad that the Lord is watching out for you!
Brookie! That is so scary! I'm glad he's ok. And congrats on the other little boy coming! Exciting. :)
Brooke! I'm so sorry you had to go through something like that. How totally scary! That could've happened to anyone, don't be hard on yourself. I'm SO glad to hear Tristan is okay after all of that.
Brooke, I am so glad he is ok and that your prayers were answered.
