But this is also life.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to find a balance between protecting her and not becoming paranoid or over-protecting. It's not easy. I tend towards the relaxed end of the scale, but worry it might be too relaxed, sigh.<BR/><BR/>May she heal quickly. Hugs to you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863793441609598153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-81519504091056889282009-04-07T10:35:00.000-07:002009-04-07T10:35:00.000-07:00Thanks for these kind words.

Today's bandage change was not too bad but the car journeys are nearly as traumatic as the hospital visits.

I believe that pain treated with compassion can create very gentle, empathetic souls. It will be all right. <BR/><BR/>www.graciousrain.comLaunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294142320717584449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-29218831916878739412009-04-06T19:43:00.000-07:002009-04-06T19:43:00.000-07:00Oh, Cave Mama....I fear it will probably take long...Oh, Cave Mama....I fear it will probably take longer for you to heal than it will your little one. Kids are totally programed to get into everything they're not supposed to no matter how closely or loosely we watch them, so don't be too hard on yourself.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167412850616073440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-60109003018782622882009-04-06T05:55:00.000-07:002009-04-06T05:55:00.000-07:00**hugs** What a horrible thing to happen to you a...**hugs** What a horrible thing to happen to you and Cave baby. :(<BR/><BR/>I remember Rye pulling a coffee over him once, but he was wearing a thick fleece and the coffee wasn't that hot (I like a lot of mmilk), I immediately got him under the tap too; but he was fine thankfully - no need for hospital.<BR/><BR/>It is scary and yeah that tunnel vision thing happens doesn't it, you just got on automatic pilot.<BR/><BR/>**hugs** forgive yourself hon, accidents do happen.<BR/><BR/>JoxyJoxy34https://www.blogger.com/profile/08395070160887950878noreply@blogger.com
