In an instant....
Our lives can be totally changed in an instant...for the better or for the worse. I learned this lesson again on Friday night.
Friday night we were home getting the kids ready for bed and then we had rented "The Dark Knight" after they were in bed. We were getting Trinity ready for bed and in her PJ's. She didn't want to get in them and began to scream and cry. As Kim was holding her and putting the PJ's on, Trinity began a silent scream. Now she has never done that but Kaiden had and we knew that she would come out of it and cry. Well the silent scream went on for probably 30 seconds when all of the sudden her body went limp, and her eyes were glassy. Kim realized that she wasn't breathing. We ran over to where the phone was and called 911. By the time the operator answered the phone, Trinity was breathing again.
We then called our Pediatrician who asked us some questions and we came to the conclusion that she was holding her breathe until she passed out. We were worried that she had a seizure of some kind. Because her body was tensed up it cut the air off and it didn't take long to pass out. When we moved her and changed positions her body was loose and everything started working again. The doctor told us that his nephew does that all the time. I pray that it never happens again. We thought that we were going to lose her. It shook us up all night...every so often we would go into her room just to watch her sleep and check on her breathing.
Realize in an instant life can change...tell someone you love them now. Do something now that you will regret if something happens. Spend more time with family and friends. Make a difference in the world now. In an instant...it might be too late.
