Always something...

Hey, everyone!

What a day yesterday was! Oh man!!! Javan, my 21 month old son, loves to climb and I'm always pulling him down from somewhere it seems like! He is definitely ALL boy! Kadesia had him with her playing in her bedroom while I was in the bathroom. In a very short time I heard a THUD! followed by Javan screaming and crying and I could tell he was in pain! I yelled for Kadesia to bring him to me and I was checking him for bumps or bruises when I touched the back of his head and there was a HUGE knot! I just about lost it!! It was so scary! I immediately called the hospital and asked what to do. It was lunchtime so the pediatrician's office was closed so I talked to someone in the ER and she asked me some questions then gave me some instructions. I couldn't wait until the office opened again so I hurried him to their office and had one of the ladies look at him. When she felt how large the hematoma was she told me to sign in and let the doctor look at him. The verdict? He's going to be fine but he has a concussion! Oh that definitely pulls at a mother's heart strings! I just about lost it! Me and Kadesia were crying with him! Ugh! I immediately called my dad on the way to the doctor's office and asked him to pray and several others were praying, too. I just asked God not to take my baby boy from me! I know how swiftly they can go! God answered prayers and Javan hardly has any swelling now. It still concerns me deeply but I've done everything they said to do and I am trusting God for the rest!

This is a 4x4 card that I made today! I really like this size card a LOT! I already know who I am going to send it to.
You can see the detail a little more in this picture. I stamped the image and sentiment from the Dear Friend stamp set (Serendipity magalogue) using Noir Palette Hybrid Ink. The balloons are colored with my Stardust Glitter Gel Pens. You know I love these! I am going to need to order more soon because I color with them SO much that I am almost out of ink! LOL The hat, clothes and shoes were all colored using my Tombow markers. I used Copic markers for the skin and a glitter gel pen for the hair!

Thanks for hanging out with me today! I hope you like the card I made. I am eager to make more. Tomorrow I will share some Father's Day gifts with you! I am not quite done with them so you'll have to wait one more day to see them. I hope you all have a terrific day!
Hugs,

Bridgett, I am so glad that your beautiful boy is okay. You must have been so frightened. I'll be thinking about you and him this weekend, and will keep you in my prayers! Great card! I love that little set, don't you? Works for anything!
