Never a dull moment!!

How I wish that my life was boring. It never seems to end it is always something. Then when I think things are going good something else happens. I know it makes me more thankful for everyday I have with my children. It also reminds me that I am not in charge and that anything can happen. Preston had to go to Akron Children's for botox injections in his legs for his cerebral palsy. This is the second time that he has had it done but the first time he was knocked out cause it is when he had some other things done. This time they put him under heavy sedation. We stayed in the room with him. They gave him a couple of med's through an IV and when they started doing the injections they got one done and he started to wake up. The whole point is to keep him still and so that he doesn't feel the pain. Well when he started moving around they gave him another med to get him back under. Well it worked to well and he had an apnea spell. An apnea spell is where they quit breathing. So they started bagging him right away and they finished the botox injections. They stopped the one medicine they were doing and we were watching him. Then he had another Apnea spell on us. They bagged him again and then suctioned his nose out and he woke up. It scared the crap out of me. To me it was like living the day we lost Hayden all over again. I was watching these people around my son today putting a mask on him with oxygen and then bagging him and all i saw was Hayden laying there and all the people working on him. It was very scary for me and very hard to watch. After he woke up he was fine and we stayed for four hours so they could watch him. If he would of had anything weird they were going to keep him over night. He is acting fine now and we are home. Thanks to all who prayed for him. Prayers do wonders just look at my kids and they are all answered prayers.
