Scariest parent moment thus far

[hermione]

C fell down an entire flight of stairs today. Head over feet all the way down. I saw it about to happen and I couldn't get to her fast enough. I watched her tumble from the top step to the bottom step. 

My MIL died this year from a fall down the stairs. I was screaming to call 911 before she even got to the bottom. My dad said he was pretty sure I got to bottom of the stairs without touching a single one. 

She is totally fine. I don't know how. She landed at the bottom, jumped up, and said "hiiiiiiiii" to me and giggled.

You guys!

Woah! I'd be panicked too!

[pierogigirl]

Glad she's OK.

[jeaniebueller]

I am sorry that happened and am glad she is okay. How scary.

[dancingirl21]

Omg, so glad she was okay! I hope you drank heavily afterward.

[glitzy07]

Oh goodness! So glad she's ok.

[carolinagirl831]

Oh god so scary. Thank goodness she is ok

[SallySparrow]

Omg, I am so glad she's okay! Shit, kids are terrifying.

[pugz]

Omg so scary

[kershnic]

I'd be panicked too, especially with the history of your MIL. My nephew took a similar tumble down the wooden stairs at his house when he was about C's age and was also just fine. Kids are crazy resilient sometimes. Glad she's ok!!

[Emerald1486]

Omg that would scare me too. But kids bounce...DS has proven that over and over to me. Glad she is ok!

[kangaroo11]

Wow glad she's ok.

How scary!! I'm so sorry this happened but glad she is ok.

Something similar happened to me with J only it was only two stairs. J had gotten to what he thought was the bottom stair right before the landing and turned sideways, looked at me in the living room where I was tandem nursing the girls and said "allll done" to say he was all done on the stairs. It was like slow motion as I watched him tip over sideways. I couldn't move and was trapped under the girls. It was so scary. He cried for me but was fine. I was definitely more scarred from the experience!

OMG! My heart skipped a beat just reading this. I'm glad she is totally fine. Hugs to you!

[Stingyshark]

Oh my gosh! So glad she is okay!

I admit I giggled at her popping up & saying hiiii

[holly116]

I'm so glad she's fine. My stomach dropped just reading this! Hugs and wine to you.

[mlt]

I'm so sorry - that sounds so scary! But I'm glad she's okay!

[browneyedgirl9]

Omg. So scary. Glad she is fine.

[shellbear09]

Oh gosh so glad she is ok! I would have freaked.

[Teachermama]

So happy she is ok! Although the fact that she popped up and said hiii is hilarious

[redheadbaker]

OMG, how scary! Glad she's okay!

[hermione]

I know this is going to sound overly dramatic but I had to go into the bathroom and throw up when it was all over. The adrenaline was just completey overwhelming to me. I will never ever forget the images of knowing it was about to happen and all the tumbling. Seared into my brain forever.

[scribellesam]

Watching them fall and not being able to get to them is absolutely the worst feeling in the world. I'm glad she's okay.

[arebee]

Omg. That would be so scary. I am glad she is ok.

I don't think your reaction sounds overly dramatic at all. I can't even imagine how scary that would be even without your MIL's history.

[karinothing]

Ugh so scary. So had all was well. I think kids know how to fall without injuring themselves.

[MamaMaui24]

How scary. I bet you jumped the entire thing. Glad she's ok.

[andthentherewere10]

[spanikopita]

Oh huuuuugs. So scary.

[yellowbrkrd]

OMG. I'm so glad she's okay.

[pippa]

That is scary. I'm so glad she's okay.
