My Sweet Baby

My poor little Kailee took a good fall off of the kitchen bar stool yesterday and fractured her collarbone.

I had sat her at the counter while I was cooking her mac n cheese for lunch. When it was done it was waaaaay hot so I left it on the counter in front of her while it cooled down and walked away to look up a phone number on the computer. While I was away from her she leaned up on the counter to reach for her food. I told her to sit down and I would be right up to help her. When she tried to get back down she slipped and fell right off of the stool onto the tile floor and landed on her left side and then knocked her head pretty hard. The poor thing just cried and cried. I tried to look at her to see what was hurt and anytime I moved her she would scream louder. I called Ryan at work and he left immediately to come home so we could take her to the doctor. The doctor looked her over and could tell that she hurt her collarbone. So off we went to the hospital for x-rays. Ryan walked over to the hospital with Kailee so we wouldn't have to put her back in the car just to get her back out and I went and moved the car to the hospital parking. While moving the car I was thinking about how much pain my little baby girl was in and I felt horrible. I was anxious to get back to her and off I went into the hospital. As soon as I walked through the hospital doors I saw Ryan with Kailee and noticed someone was missing... my little Ellie. Then I realized she was with me when I moved the car... Yup, I left her in the car, all alone, when I went into the hospital. Wow, what a bad, no, horrible mom day! I couldn't get back to the car fast enough to get my little baby. Oh man, it seemed as if things were just going to keep getting worse and I kept hoping no one would make the call to child protective services! Thankfully when I got to the car my little Ellie was sound asleep and ok.

I will definitely pay more attention to my little ones and let the little things that I "want" to do go until my Kailee and Ellie are in safe places!
The past few days for us have been really rough. Kailee is in pain, she's tired, she won't eat and she's flat out grumpy. She definitely has reason to feel that way, but it is sooo hard to see her miserable. I hope she heals quickly because I would love to have my little spunky buddy back!
