The Parent Test?

I have been put to the test this week, Sabrina is starting to get better, I was feeling like we made it through the storm, and then.........Last night when I went to go check on her before I went to bed (to make sure she was still breathing,yes I still do that) I turned on the light and to my HORROR there was blood everywhere!!!
I think my heart stopped for a second before I figured out that it was a bloody nose (her first) it was all over her face,shirt,pillow, she must have thought she had a runny nose in her sleep and wiped it. In true mama form I went and got a towel and started cleaning her up (she was still sleeping) after I get most of it cleaned up I get her up,her nose still bleeding. While walking her in the bathroom, I face her to the wall so she couldn't see in the mirror, but as I was rinsing out the towel she saw the blood and lost it.
after about five minutes it stops,needless to say I forced her to sleep with me last night. I swear I sprouted twenty gray hairs last night.

AHHHHHHHHHh I so would have freaked out too! That was quick thinking to clean her up while asleep and have her face the wall.
You are a good mommy!
