Scare

I took this picture about a minute before the scariest 20 seconds of my life, literally. We had gone over to Grammy's house to have Sunday night dinner. The kids were having fun playing on Shawn and the both kids kind of fell off. Cruz landed on Alegra. I looked at Alegra and she went to cry with her mouth wide open but nothing came out, then her face went white and eyes started rolling in the back of her head. It was so scary, it wasn't just getting the wind knocked out of you, she was totally unresponsive. I jumped up and called "911". Shawn was trying to get her to respond to him. Her eyes rolled back to normal and she then started crying. I hung up with 911 before I thought I connected. I was shaking and totally freaking out. My little girl was not breathing, her eyes went to the back of her head, and she turned completely white. 911 actually called me back and I explained that my little girl wasn't breathing but she had started crying right when the phone connected to 911. The operator offered to send medics out but we said we would take her somewhere if we thought we should. I am still not exactly sure what happened. She cried for a bit and kept saying her leg hurt. We thoroughly checked her out and she did walk with a limp for a while. She stayed pretty white for about 45 minutes. By the end of the night she was acting totally normal and she ate a good dinner. That was one of the scariest moments of my life. I thank my husband for keeping a calm head and trying to get her to respond and I thank Heavenly Father who was watching out for my little angel.
