A Miracle This morning

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

My faith in God was deffinilty put to the test this morning. For all of

you who know me know that I have Osteogenesis imperfecta, which is a form of

dwarfism where we break all the time. Well my two children have OI as well. I

was watching my niece this morning and both of my children were sitting next to

me on the top step of our flight of stairs to go downstairs to eat breakfast.

The rule is...I go down first in front of them so that if they started to fall

I would catch them. My son sat down on the top step to crawl down and his bum

slipped off the step and trying to catch himself he fell forward. I dont

remember putting my neice down but I remember sliding the down the stairs as I

watched my 2 1/2 year old fall head first down our stairs and land in a mass at

the bottom of the steps. Well I didnt walk or crawl down the stairs to catch

him I slide only to miss grabbing his pants. I get to the bottom of the stairs

and I dont know whether to pick him up or call 911.

My son sits up crying crawls into my lap and says that scared him. Picked

up his sippee cup that had taken the tumble with him and continued on his way

to the couch. He was completely unhurt. He fell down 13 stairs sliding down

the last three and he was unhurt.

I went back up the stairs to get my daughter and my niece and after

bringing them safely down the stairs i sat at the base of the steps and cried

for 15

min.

There was an angel with my son today. And that angel kept him from breaking

every bone in his body as he fell down those stairs.

We are moving in less than a month to a house that has no stairs...and I

cant wait. My faith in God just got stronger.

Thankful

Hey and anyone else interested,

Even knowing that with a title as " A Miracle This Morning " that your story

would have a good ending, I was holding my breath while reading about what

happened.

My family often jokes about how our angels get together at the end of the day

and visit the smoking room in Heaven. With all the strange things that happen

to us and them having to watch over and protect us, the angels have to be on

their last nerve by the time we go to bed. I can only imagine how many packs

of cigarettes the OI appointed angels would go through each day, if there was a

smoking room! LOL

Come to think about it, the OI angels probably wouldn't get the night off

since anything could happen. They'd probably be addicted to coffee instead.

Just a thought.

I'm sure there's a " smoking " sign in Hell.

But it's not the cigarettes that would be lit.

Anyway, that was a wonderful story.

May God keep blessing you with protective angels, !

,

What a beautiful story! I am so happy for you and your son that no one

was hurt. Good luck on your move!

Someone who also hates stairs,

I kind of assumed (hoped) that there's a BIG " No Smoking " sign on the

Pearly Gates. ;-)
