With Hayden being back to school and me babysitting and trying to get this business going..along with getting ready for a yard sale and dealing with a lupus flare.. I'm at my max..so I've been MIA.

Hayden tried to scare the life out of me 2 nights sgo. He has a loft bed and was in his room cleaning when around 9:10 I heard the loudest thud ever, now...he's fallen out of bed before and it's always been followed by lots of crying. As I ran up the stairs the eerie silence made me move even quicker. When I walked imto his room there he was on his back sprawled out at the head of the bed on the floor with his eyes WIDE open and TOTALLY unconscious! I screamed his name, then Gail's.. everything I know NOT to do flew out the window when I yanked his lifeless body off the floor. crying his name, rubbing his face, his hair..when he started to awake. He said "I fell"..I said i know..he tried to go back to sleep. I told him he needed to stay awake..talk to mommy.. total panic in my voice, shaking uncontrollably. I cool, calm and collected mom had checked out and the new frantic, terrified mom was trying to hang on. He saw this, told me he was ok..kissed me. I brought him downstairs, checked him pupils, his arms, legs..his back. He cried, his back hurt..it was quite red and had some marks. I called mom, I called the dr on call.. both told me to keep an eye on him, watch for odd behavior, pupil dilation, swelling, don't let him sleep. Check, check, check and check. I kept him up 2 hours and then let him go to sleep. But I couldn't sleep.. checking on him every 15 minutes. When i did sleep I had nightmare.. he was dead. Eyes wide open and dead. Horrible nightmares. I kept checking to be sure he was breathing, not in too much pain. In the morning his pain was only a 2 so i sent him to school, but not without calling them to let them know what had happened to be sure they watched him for odd behavior or pain. He did good. Today you'd never know, he's his old self with a bruised back. Me.. I think I am scarred for life.

ok.. back to chasing after Bella.
