I lost another one of my "nine lives"

You know how sometimes you get the poop shocked out of you until you feel like you could have severely lost something or someone special in a flash. Sort of like when you see a car accident happen right in front of you, or your child is dangling from the top of a play structure.. Yea those moments.

Well I spent much of my Friday reading this Blog it's somewhat of a sad blog, but to sum it up in an over simplified and unjust way, it's about a child who chokes on something and becomes brain damaged forever. It was heartbreaking to read.

So last night after dinner, Julius and I are talking about something and the girls are playing in the living room area. Then I hear Adrianne start coughing, which I don't really think anything of because she can really hack up a lung and she's been a bit nasal-y recently. So I say, "Adrianne are you okay?" and there is no answer. Then I see Alexa standing there holding the end of a robe tie, and I stand up and see Adrianne clawing at her neck. Yes her whole life flashed before my eyes.

Thank goodness she got it off before I even reached her, she was coughing and crying and Alexa doesn't really know what is going on. Poor Adrianne, her neck was so red and her cheeks were red, she just kept saying, "Sissy put it too tight.."

And for all my rage I was controlled and did not beat Alexa senseless.. as yes I know, she's little and she didn't know what could happen. But we had a stern talk and they both know the reason that we DO NOT put things around our necks..

I don't know what it is about Adrianne but honestly she has had so many brushes with danger, I don't know how that kid survives.. a couple days ago she fell down the stairs, well she tripped about half way down, did the splits for 3 stairs then toppled over on her head and caught herself with her arms (thank god for those gymnastics lessons!). I saw it all and she looked up and me and said, "mom, I'm stuck!" -she will be driving me to an early grave, seriously.-
