Blessings...

Saturday Richard, Daniel, Nathan and Qualan worked outside in our yard. They mowed, weeded, and raked leaves. I stayed inside with Chiron cleaning the house. Chiron was ready for his morning nap so I layed him down and watched him fall asleep. I ran down stairs to finish the kitchen. I was sweeping the floor and I heard Chiron making noises. I stopped and listend and he didn't sound like him self and I felt prompted to run upstairs and check on him immediatly. I saw him in his crib with a blaket over his face. The thought "get it off his face!" ran through my mind. He looked up at me with the biggest blue eyes. His lips were bluish/purplish in color. He looked petrified. I scooped him up in my arms. He was breathing so fast and his heart was pounding and he was limp. I held him for a few minutes, thinking he would go back to sleep. He didn't. So I took him down to the kitchen with me. I told Richard about it. He said that he was probably sufficating. When he said that it hit me -- that is exactly what was happening! Had I not felt the need to rush to his aid, I hate to think what might of happened. I am so grateful for the prompting that day and I am glad that I heeded the prompting. I could of thought he always talks to himself when he wakes up or I will just finish sweeping the floor and then go and get him. But I didn't. I went running to him. I will never forget the look on his face-- terrified. I am so blessed to have someone watching over my little ones! My heart is full and I feel very humbled. What a blessing it is to have Chiron with us.
