This beautiful angel in this picture gave me the scare of my life. I thought i would loose her, but thankfully I didn't.

How come??

Well, we were living as usual, jolly and playful little Praise had just finished dinner and was now almost asleep when all of a sudden she began making some sounds like she was gasping for air or something like that. I took notice of that almost immediately and rushed to be by her side so as to help her out in any way. I adjusted the pillow and loosened her clothes, even when they were not so tight in the first place.

Somehow, she seemed to be okay only for her to enter another episode. She began vomiting, or should i say convulsing I can't really tell, it was really scary. I shouted for the attention of my husband immediately, I think I was in tears already. Her eyes were just wide open, no blinking whatsoever.

I began praying. Meanwhile my husband had already taken baby Praise downstairs, headed for the nearest hospital. I tagged along, praying. His driving was close to wreckless but it didn't matter and I didn't mind, i just wanted my baby to be well, quickly.

I made a heck of a noise in the hospital, and we were soon admitted. Thankfully they were able to stabilize her, I don't know how they did it, i really didn't care how. The doctor said it had to do with shortness of Oxygen, this was what i made up from the "not-so-english" he was speaking. I remember cutting him short and asking if she will be okay, he said yes, she's fine. We stayed in the hospital for about 3 days before heading back home with loads of doctors advice and drugs too.

Now we're back home and gentle as ever with baby Praise. I glad she's fine but still gradually getting out of the shock i was in. I'm also thankful for my husband too, while all this was happening, he was somewhat calm, at least that was the outward appearance i saw, this gave me courage. How would it have turned out if we were both feeling the same way as i was? I'm also grateful to God.

Here's a picture of my other girl trying to get in the way of the camera
