Guest guest Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 SUNDAY, MAY 13, 2012Mother's Day at Children's HospitalI'm tired so my post will be shorter than usual and probably not as eloquent. On Saturday night my daughter le called me to let me know that she had been bitten by a friend's dog. That alone scared me but then she told me she had been bitten in the face. My mind immediately brought up the picture of le in her beautiful dress for Homecoming and my heart skipped a beat.As I drove to pick her up I had such a hard time concentrating on anything. It is kind of sad how easy I adjust to taking Sam to the hospital but my mind just can not wrap around taking Ben or le.le didn't sound worried as I spoke to her on the phone and I gathered strength from that. She assured me the dog was up to date on all his shots. But when she got into my car and I saw the depth of the gash under her left eye and the purple color on the tip of her nose which also seemed to have lacerations my mind began to panic. We rushed to the closest ER and we began to fill out the all too familiar paperwork but when I was asked her birth date, I almost gave Sam's, that is the default that my mind naturally goes to. I had to think about le's and again my heart hurt. This is my only little girl, my beautiful, sweet, caring daughter. I don't want this to be happening and yet here we were waiting for the doctor to numb the nerves in her face so that they could clean and determine the extent of damage…..To read the rest of the post please go to www.suemayer-specialneedsmom.blogspot.com Sue MayerMom to Sam (11) who is genuine, unique and perfectly “Sam”www.suemayer-specialneedsmom.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
