WhAt Do Ya Do?!

I rarely have bad occasions to blog about (which I consider a blessing), and I dont prefer focusing on the bad, over the good in my life.. but I feel so inclined to blog about my recent events. Wednesday when I had come home from work the kids were just hanging out while I was finishing up a couple things for work. I had given Gage a bottle and a biscuit to eat and sat him in his high chair to munch on for a bit. I overheard Weston saying ,"Gage doesnt want it.". I didnt think much of it and told Weston to leave him alone. A few minutes went by and Weston started laughing. I thought he must just be trying to be silly for Gage. A minute later I heard Gage Crying so I rushed in not knowing I would be coming into a BoTTLe of Joy poured over Gages head. I am SO glad I was close by! I can't get the picture of Gages face out of my mind. It was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever witnessed! Babies don't naturally close their eyes if something is in them. He was crying, blinking, not knowing what on earth was going on to him. So as I had the urge to want to beat weston, I spanked him (probably harder than I should have) and had Lys take him up to his room. I grabbed gage and stuck him in the sink under the faucet hosing him down, washing out his eyes. I dont even know for how long, it SeEMeD like an hour. After the tragic event he took a good long nap. We had plans this evening to meet my family for a grandchild photograph and pool party at my brothers and Saras home. So I let him sleep as long as possible. Just before leaving I was carrying him down the stairs while he was still sleeping and didnt see Westons toy gun on the step and tripped. Before falling, while holding Gage in my hands I tried any means to not. I caught myself but in the process my right toe was bent and I landed on it with all of my weight, severely spraining or breaking my toe.. I've yet to have that determined. I thought for sure the pain would stop, like if you were to stub your toe, but it STiLL has not. so as I limped the night away, which isnt my concern at this point. My focus was still on my poor sweet Gage. I noticed Gage was still having a hard time opening his eyes, like they were still very irritated.So when I got home I called Christina over to give me a second opinion before rushing him to the emergency room. Such a good thing I did! She took Gage and I over to a girl in our neighborhood who is a nurse, Kirra. These two sweet girls were life savers! They helped me (okay, THEY did it) flush Gages eyes out again for a good 15 minutes. I couldnt handle even watching, it pained me to see him in pain. although he would cry, he was SO sweet about it. After so long he would stop crying and just kinda huff and whine. Such a trooper. He woke up yesterday (thursday) looking SO much better. He could open his eyes and they werent red and irritated looking. Thank heavens! I did my own little eye testing with him and he seemed to respond normal. Although, yesterday, I woke up feeling miserable. I felt nautious, had a tremendous headache and a terribly aching body.. not to mention my foot was still insanely bothering me. I had plans to go to the splash park with a couple of the girls so I was trying so hard to override my sickness. It didnt work and I spent the day in bed. Christina and Jamielyn, the saints they are brought me a pregnancy test (to be sure) and a roxberry juice.. yummy (No, Im not pregnant, ThAnK GoOdNeSs)! Cathy and Christine came by and took Weston and Gage for me. Which is appreciated SO much! I needed a break from Weston, I think I was starting to treat him unfairly. I was simply irritated with him. The break was much needed and welcomed. I do love him so much non-the-less. He just needs more attention than I can always give. I have some of THE BEST neighbors and friends in the world! Kate has also been such a great help and so willing to do so much as well. She brought me meals so I wouldn't have to take my cripple self out of the house more than I need to. Also put her husband, Bishop Bassett up for giving Gage a blessing, Which is SO great, and will make me feel even better. When it rains it usually pours right?! However in these cases it definately could have ended up MuCh worse. Today, more than usual, I am feeling SO grateful for the health and wellness of my children, and my own.

This was probably 1/3 of the soap.. the rest was on Gages head and face :(
