Scary Stuff

This morning Paige gave me a pretty good scare. I woke up to her saying "daddy. help." really quietly, over the monitor. That's how most days start, though. She calls us over and over until we come get her out of bed, or she gives up and comes to get US out of bed. Today I gave in first and went to get her, but she was lying in the hallway, on her back. I still didn't think anything was wrong, so I went to pick her up. She whispered "help" to me as I lifted her up, and I noticed she was totally limp. She didn't move a muscle, just hung there. So I pulled her away for a second to look at her. Her face was kind of pale, but then it always is. She and I both have pretty pale faces. But her lips were sort of greyish blue, which is NOT normal for her. Well, for anyone really, but especially her. Strangers have asked me if I put MAKEUP on her. So anyway, the whole grey lip thing freaked me out. I asked her what was wrong a couple of times, and if anything hurt. She just hung there over my shoulder, and eventually whispered "sorry mama". So of course I thought she was going to die, and started trying to decide whether to call Jess or 911. I sat her down on the ground to run for my phone and put Cason somewhere safe while I wasn't watching him. When I put her down she just slumped over to her side on the ground. Horrifying. So I called Jess, and tried to calm down enough to tell him to come home. By the time he got home, she was sitting up, and he got her to at least move her arms and legs, by tickling them. But she was zoning out and wouldn't smile or talk much. She WAS drinking water and wanted a bagel, which she asked for in a whisper. Poor baby.

So of course we went to the doctor, and by the time we were ready to leave she was TOTALLY normal, running around and laughing and talking about Elmo. We went anyway, and the nurse is sending us to Phoenix next week to a neurologist. I guess they want to make sure she hadn't had some kind of seizure. Sort of scary, so please pray for her. Although I really don't FEEL like there's anything like that wrong. But then again, I was scared she was going to die this morning, so we're gonna play it safe.

On a lighter note, the nurse gave Paige a makeup kit.

She also rode a horse tonight wearing what she called a cowboy hat, although it's camo and pink.
She said "yeehaw" when I started taking pictures, and then even pulled this signature cowboy move, the overhead hat swing.
Also, Cason took a nice long nap, and hasn't thought today was at all scary or stressful.
