Ambulence Visit

I am SO grateful for people that Heavenly Father puts in our path to help us.  This past week, our family had a scare.  Kailey had had some congestion for a few days. Well one morning, she started having a hard time breathing and I panicked because we had lost our booger sucker when we moved. In my panic I remembered that my neighbor had told me that if I ever needed anything I could come ask. So I started walking across the street to ask to use her booger sucker.
On my way there, Kailey's breathing got worse and she stopped breathing all together.  I have never been so afraid in my life.  I silently pleaded with my Father in heaven that she would be okay. I showed up at my neighbors house in a panic. She was the answer to my prayers! She immediately took control for me because I had lost it. She called 911 and helped with Kailey and helped calm me down.
Thankfully Kailey started breathing on her own. She had been choking on a mucus plug. Everything is okay and she is doing great now! And we have an awesome electric booger sucker now.
I KNOW that God loves us and cares for us. I know this because of this experience. When we first moved I was terrified. Terrified of making new friends, of being a mom to two tiny kids, and terrified of being alone. But this was a reminder that we are watched over. I am grateful for my neighbor and that she was an answer to my prayers and a friend when I needed one most. And I am so grateful that I get to continue to be a mommy to Kailey and love her and teach her!
