Okay, so I am combing two blog posts. The storms the other night were horrible. Add to it that I was home alone with the kids (old dude had to work yet another overnight) and well, lets just say my anxiety level was at an all time high. I did a VERY good job of hiding it from little dude who was really freaking out. I was so proud of my parenting at that moment. I had him put his headphones on and watch something funny on his laptop. We all ended up sleeping in Chickie's room. The rain got really loud around 3am waking us all up. Everyone stayed calm. It is amazing the damage that occurred just 5 miles from here. It could have easily been us. We dodged a serious bullet and I am thanking God for sparing us yet again. These major storms always seem to hit very close to us but never get us.
On to Chickie. She is now in a dark purple cast. I was NOT prepared for this when I took her to the doctors last week. I really thought they would just give her a cortisone shot. It brought back some bad memories for me but I have been able to deal with it. For that, I have Lucy to thank. Chickie's attitude has been amazing. I thought she would be freaking but her response was "I like to be the center of attention!" I am sure on some level it bothers her that this never seems to end, but I think she is mature enough (maybe even more so than me) to handle it and keep a good attitude. I also thinks she is acutely aware of how close she came to death or losing her arm so, in the grand scheme of things, this isn't so bad.
