I saw it unfold before my eyes and couldn’t do anything to stop it
running after Hanny, Katriel tripped and started to go down
just inches ahead of where I could reach and falling far faster than my legs could cover the distance down she went
and before her head ever hit the wall I knew –just knew- she was too close
her head hit the corner and snapped back, me encircling her mid section as she went down
I scooper her up, with her still facing out from me, and I backed up, opened the freezer and grabbed a handful of ice – calling for my big kids
she didn’t cry but struggled to catch her breath in the shock – I was afraid to look. I’d seen what a corner of the cabinet did to Marie’s head once
as the boys arrived just seconds after the impact I commanded them to look for me. I just couldn’t. I pulled the ice away and they both recoiled. They quickly found their voices and said, “It’s not bleeding.”
THANK YOU GOD.
it’s amazing how fast our minds work. I was already trying to figure out how I’d get her to urgent care and wondering how they’d stitch her head
she started to cry and protest the ice – the shock having worn off some. Nigel held her arms down as I maintained the ice.
siblings sang to her and I wondered for the umpteenth time if I have what it takes to be a mom and Praised God for His protection
When I finally gave up on icing…
The point of impact…
Later that evening…
Three days later…
