Begging and Pleading

with all of you who read my blog. Please share this post with anybody and everybody you know.

If you read the story below this post you will know more, but I have been trying to figure out why or how this happened to us. Having a child fall out of a window is something that *most* of us never think of or never think will happen to us.

I honestly never thought of it. I have heard of it happening to other children but I always assumed that it was out of old windows or windows that had no screens. Well we put brand new windows in, in September of last year.

I can try to figure out how it happened with some speculation, but I do know why it happened. It isn't because of some faulty window/screen, or my child not having supervision (since I was in the same room), or anything else that I can think of without believing in higher powers.

I HONESTLY believe the reason this happened to us, and had such an amazingly positive outcome. It is so we can save some other child out there. If I can share my story and prevent one other fall or close call I will be happy. I live in a awesome community and word has traveled fast and it doesn't bother me at all. I have had so many people tell me that they have checked their windows/screens and rigged them up so their children can not fall out. I had nurses and staff at the hospital tell me they ran home after their shift and checked their windows.

PLEASE check your windows, call the manufacturer and ask if they have window blocks that make it so they only open so far, or rig it up yourselves. I don't care if you have 1 story, 2 story, live in an apartment, rent a house or whatever! Take action and check it out.

When we came home we rigged ours up but I called today and was informed that yes they do have this device that only lets them open so far, so a child can not fall out of the window...oh how I wish I knew about that when we put them in.

Had my daughter fallen out of any of the other upstairs bedroom windows she would of had serious medical issues or we would not have our daughter with us anymore. She would have hit cement, the deck for sure, or a bunch of rocks.
