I know it's tough, but you have to keep yourself in perspective. These things happen to kids, and most likely if William gets hurt somehow, he'll be alright.
Don't be too tough on yourselves...you're good parents.

Hope the little tyke is feeling better.

What happened to you? Silly man...you became a father, that's what happened. It's scary, isn't it? Did you ever dream that you'd love another human being so much that you'd feel their pain more deeply than they would - even more deeply than your own? Obviously not. No one ever does. Not until it happens ( ... )

Oh my God, Gypsy! If that's what I have to look forward to, you just scared the crap out of me.

Right now I'm operating under the assumption that this was the last accident, and nothing like it will ever happen again. I don't know if I can handle seeing him hurt again. I've never felt so helpless. As Renee was holding him and he was vomiting up blood, he looked so small and fragile. He was hurting, and I couldn't help him. I realized that if the accident had been worse, he could have died and there would have been nothing I could do to stop it.

Before this accident, he felt like such a permanent fixture in our lives. Now.. I can't help but think that mere chance or accident could take him away from us forever in the blink of an eye.

It's a small, helpless feeling that I don't like.

Scared? Helpless? drbrewer September 22 2005, 13:06:10 UTC

Now for some more perspective ( ... )
