I was just away. Called out to help my brother in law while my
sister runs to the grocer.
Was feeding the gal, and she decided to climb onto the roof of a
kids car buggy and hang there.
It generally wasnt much of a concern.....and i had my knees prop
against that car buggy to keep it steady and it wouldnt
topple.
next thing I know....she slipped and fell head first onto the
floor. whats worse was that on the carpeted floor was a plastic
railway track and lots of hard metal toys kitchen ware she managed
to throw around earlier.
I only managed to grab her neck with my left palm, and i threw that
bowl of rice to free my right hand to try to grab her body.
Anyway....it was a nano-second thing. next thing i see was she
lying face up and looking blur. My left palm under her head and
upper neck area.
I grabbed her bodily and prop her back against my body and kept
asking her if she was all right.
That gal merely stare into space a bit and then climb away and goes
climb another structure.
I was still too stunned, and was quietly picking up those rice that
spilled. It was messy.
And for me, I think it scared off 6 months of my life just like
that. I didnt even managed to squeak out a scream then.
And I didnt really see her slipped down, just a kinda glismpes at
the corner of my eye, like a reflex reaction.
I was sooo scared that she will land upright on top of her head and
break her neck in a bad way!
it was one of those scare, that you are not sure how to react to it
when its all over. can only quietly go about your business.
little gal was not perturbed at all. while auntie here was later
thinking about it and tears nearly dropped.
