Hi There!
Is This Going to Be My Life Everyday?
Is 9 months too early to explaining the importance of picking up your toys???
Just kidding (kind of)
But just an update on Zakiah. She is doing fine. The swelling and redness has gone down a lot just like we prayed for last night.
God is good! I cannot deny that!
I appreciate all the wonderful comments you ladies left me in the previous posts. You know how to make a mommy feel better!
“You are STILL a Really Good Mom”
Ok, let's rewind.
When Josh got to apartment from work, Zakiah was so happy to see him! It is like she knows by now when the door opens around 5ish, she knows daddy is back. She almost always crawl toward him and forget about me. So cute.
Such a daddy's little girl. I would know.
So daddy saw the boo boo and picked up his little girl to hug her and get a closer look. I felt bad and irresponsible because one of the last things you want to come back from a long day of work is seeing your baby got hurt (see the previous post). He took her by his job (works at a medical center) and was able to get one of his coworkers to get Zakiah all cleaned up and bandaged. Josh said that Z was a good sport while she was getting fixed up.
Hence the picture.
So when they got back, Zakiah was still being Zakiah as usual (which is of course a great thing). When I called her pediatrician shortly after the accident, the advice nurse told me to monitor her behavior to see if she starts to act differently. Not something I want to see but know it is something important to catch especially after a head injury. Like I said, all was normal all the way up to the time I put her to bed thank goodness!
Still cannot help to be a little paranoid though.
After I got her to bed, I was still SO upset at myself that I asked Josh if we can just pray right then for Zakiah. I had so many thoughts running through my head from Zakiah's accident that I needed comfort. As we prayed, tears just started to flow down. I just hope all will be ok.
Josh wiped my tears away (aw moment) and assured me it will be because God is looking over Z. Then a little while later, he told me I am a really good mom.
I love this guy so much!
He checked on Zakiah before he left for the night and said everything looks fine. He will come back in the morning to change her bandage and check up on her before going to work.
Hopefully the swelling will be down in the morning. I will keep you posted.
Pray for her please and pray for me.
Thanks!
A Sad Wordless Wednesday
Bad mommy moment.
