Even more grateful

11/29/2011

Sixteen-month-old grandson trampolined off a bed Sunday afternoon, hit the floor head on, lost consciousness, seized, stopped breathing (for at least 5 minutes) and required CPR by paramedics for resuscitation. After 36 hours in the ER and neuro unit at Washington DC's Children’s Hospital, he was released. All tests are negative for underlying conditions and/or permanent damage.

So far, so good.

Oh my God, what a scare. Glad he's OK.

Life is uncertain, isn't it?

Terrifying, but I guess everyone survived.
