I am TERRIBLE in emergencies - I think I'm just so squeamish and so against seeing unpleasant things that I know I wouldn't be any help? This is really bad and I don't tell a lot of people, but last year my little brother accidentally kicked sand in Molly's face... when she was 5 weeks old... and I was one of the ones who hung back rather than rush in. In my defense, the people who did rush in were nurses/more calm and collected people than I am and I think subconsciously I knew they'd be able to help her more than I would be. But still! Even when it's my own child, apparently I'm not a first responder.<br /><br />Prayers for your friends during this difficult time. I truly cannot imagine. One of my favorite quotes ever, which I'm sure you've probably heard: "There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world.” Deedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02386061097583007160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-1934556711068914182015-08-04T15:50:34.421-04:002015-08-04T15:50:34.421-04:00This blog made me want to faint.

If someone asked me if I would rather let a tarantula crawl across my arm or be in the same yard as a snake, I would be like "Hand me that spider!" Uhhhh...I had flashbacks of that terrible scene in State of Wonder, with the anaconda. NO. Just NO. *On a side note, besides the day we met our baby, the day we stopped buying formula was the best day of our lives.

How...Your baby is seriously ridiculously adorable! How much time do you spend just nibbling those chunky legs!!!<br /><br />This was years ago but my kids pediatrician's son cut his finger off in their backyard one day. Being a Dr. whose specialty was kids, she obviously knew what one was supposed to do in this situation but instead, she ran around screaming hysterically. Luckily, one of her son's 12 year old friends picked up the finger and put it on ice so they were able to reattach it but it tortured her how she'd gone into sheer panic!<br /><br />Prayers for your friend and her sweet boy:(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-5850402581030016012015-08-03T11:23:37.902-04:002015-08-03T11:23:37.902-04:00I would have ran from that snake!

WOWZA. I don't think I could have gotten the snake off of him either...I mean, I guess I would have to if it were MY CHILD-but really, my instincts tell me to run the heck inside the house. I do not do snakes AT ALL. I was bit when I was 5 and it's a HORRIBLE memory for me-I mean, they almost amputated my left leg for crying out loud. So yeah, no snakes for me. We avoid the reptile houses at the zoo too...I don't care if it's 120 degrees outside and that little building has AC, I would rather pass out from a heat stoke before going in there!
