If I could ask God, for one thing…

MOMMY: I wouldn’t hesitate. I’d say “please heal all these children fighting for their lives”… As I left Liams room today, to grab something to eat. I passed by a little girls room, who’s mother I have become very close to. I stopped to say hi. As I was standing there in the hallway, I heard a little boy choking. So I ran to get the nurse. He was alone in the room and gasping for air. The nurse came running and went in ready to save this child. She asked me to hold him up and I froze with panic. All I could think was, was this child contagious? Liam has no ANC and I couldn’t do it. The mother of the little girl went running in and assisted the nurse. A code blue was called and they were able to get the little boy breathing again. As the mother of the little girl left the room, she was sobbing, shaking, and asked “is there anything I should be concerned about getting”? She went in without hesitation and knew I couldn’t. I have beat myself up over it all day. I feel horrible that I panicked and only thought of Liam. I am just so thankful that, that little girls mother was there. She just kept saying “the fear in that little boys eyes, he was so scared”!
I tell you this, because no child should ever have that fear. They should be able to play and be innocent and enjoy all the beauty in life. Not fight for every breath they take and fear it’s their last.
No mother should have to fear that helping another child, could kill hers…
