Life of my son

Good Evening Dear Readers

It has been a day to remember in my little corner of the world~ today I learned that God has indeed sent a guardian angel to watch over my baby boy icon_small_angel.gif angel image by Hrvat

You see this afternoon I was giving the boy his bath, his big sister wanted to help. So she climbed into the tub with him. The two were sitting in the tub splashing each other and having great fun. I turned to gather some things from the counter to finish up their bath when I heard a splash. I turned around and my little guy was totally submerged in the water.

I reached into the tub, pulling my baby out from under the water. His little face was crimson red and he was not breathing. My mind tried for all it was worth to remember what to do and I could not think... All I knew is my baby was turning from red to purple right before my eyes and I felt overwhelmingly helpless.

I yelled at my 22 year old to come help me. He ran into the bathroom and I thrust the baby at him. He shook him gently and then pulled him in close to him and gave him a gentle but firm squeeze. The squeeze did it. Allen sputtered and gasped... and he was breathing again. Hearing Allen burst out wailing, that cry was the most amazing sound I have ever heard.

As I sat down, my legs still trembling from the scare I had, I realized just how blessed I really am. God really is watching over us~ I am so grateful tonight!
