We have had quite the week at our house. All four kids have had the pukes. Brett and I are exhausted. Sunday night neither Brett nor I slept at all. It was every 15 minutes. My washing machine ran nonstop for 36 hours and I'm still not caught up on all the laundry.
On Monday, Dalton woke up from his nap covered in vomit. It was everywhere. Much like the poop. I stripped him down in his crib and put him directly in the tub and told Saige to sit with him while I tried to clean his crib. I yelled from the bedroom, "wash his hair and then I will be in". She went to slide the glass shower panel open and I heard a LOUD crash. When I looked down the hall I saw tiny pieces of glass everywhere. And blood. Saige had no shoes on and her feet and her hands were bleeding. I picked her up, carried her through the outside door and told her to not move. She was saying she was sorry about the glass and I tried to tell her that I didn't care about it while I rushed back in to get Dalton. He was bleeding on his legs so I reached into the glass-filed tub, and carried him to the laundry room sink. I stood him up in it and sprayed the glass off of him while I was explaining to Madi that this was an emergency and she needed to call dad and tell him to come home immediately. I got the glass off and a diaper on(he still stunk but I didn't have any soap and I was worried about saige outside all by herself. I sent madi out with some flip flops for her and I put dalton back in the living room. Sydney was standing at the gate this entire time screaming. I made my way outside to find saige crying. She was still apologizing and she had some big cuts on her hands. I took her to my bathroom and stripped her down and put her in my shower. She couldn't get all of the glass out of her hair so I got in (fully dressed) and tried to help.
By the time we were done cleaning everything up it was several hours later. We are left counting our blessings that both kids weren't seriously hurt. It is amazing to me that they weren't. I told saige last night when I tucked her in bed that I saw a miracle today. With all the bad that has happened to us this week we are SO thankful that The Lord watches over and protects us.

Good Grief Natalie....I'm not going to ask what else could happen. I'm so grateful that no one was seriously hurt. How emotional for Saige as she tried to protect Dalton and also to apologize thinking it was her fault. Thank goodness for the power of prayer as prayers are said for protection and care each day. And Natalie thanks for being the mother that you are and enduring the bad with the good.
What in the world..... how did that happen Nat? That is so scary!!!! So glad everything is ok. That looks so bad... all of that glass!
