The scariest thing happened to us the other night. Kari came in our room around 4 am and said she had to go potty. I took her, and put her back to bed. She came back in about 45 minutes later complaining her head hurt so I let her sleep with us. About an hour later I heard this girgling sound from her, so I sat her up. She threw up a bunch of yucky mucus. I asked her if she was ok and she didn't answer. I got Buck and he turned on the light and cleaned up the mess. All the while I would ask Kari, how do you feel? Can you say mommy? Can you say daddy? She would not respond. She was also limp this whole time just leaning on me. Then Buck picked her up and said, who am I? No answer and she wouldn't focus on anything. She didn't even respond when the light was turned on. I could ask her is that daddy? She would nod her head but that was it. We were so scared, she was limp and non-responsive for about 5 minutes. Buck gave her back to me and I let her lay down. She closed her eyes and about a minute later she woke up and threw up again. This time she was responsive and could focus. I was glad but still so scared. Luckily Kristen and Mikey had arrived around 11:30 last night and could help. Buck got Mikey and together they gave her a blessing. I felt much better after that, but I couldn't go back to sleep, I had to keep an eye on her.
Anyway, we assume that she was just still asleep through all of that with her eyes wide open. That was definitely one of my scariest moments as a mom! All is well, and nothing like that has happened since. That was early Saturday morning. We just love our little girl and don't want anything to ever happen to her. We love Hayden too!

SCARY! I would have panicked! I'm glad Mikey was there to help with the blessing.
On a side note: Brandon says if a kid is unresponsive to grate your knuckles on his/her sternum or (oddly enough) twist their nipple. Apparently, that is the medical way to determine if they are non-responsive. I guess it hurts enough that anyone would respond to that!
that is true. or not so much grate them but push and shake your fist heavily across their sternum. I am glad she is ok too! Ya sometimes those mommy moments are not something you want to keep around.
Oh my goodness, I have tears in my eyes as I write this (I know you are so suprised) I would be so scared!! My little Kari, please give her a big hug from me!! I miss you all so much and I love you!
Being a mom is so much fun sometimes. That sounds really scary. I had one of those moments just this week. I had to do the heimlech (spelling?) on Ian. The culprit was a playmobil cannon ball he had been sucking on.
Give Kari a hug from us.
Very glad to hear that she is okay!
