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!

  2. Wow, that would be so scary! We had a moment where Will passed out because he was crying and not taking a breath. It was an awful feeling to have him go limp in my arms, but he started breathing again right away. That must have been so scary with little Kailey! It's amazing how the Lord takes care of us. We just moved out of state (just to Idaho); it wasn't nearly as far as Ohio, but it was hard for me the first week that Hiram was gone at work and I didn't have any friends to spend time with. I really missed our little community at 353 1/2! I actually thought of you a lot that first week, and how you moved all the way across the country. I thought, "If Mandy can do it, then I'll be able to do it, too!" You are inspiring. :)
