Poor Brayden!
So, we just got a new piano for free BECAUSE our old one was coming to the end of it's life. The old on is an upright Celviano made by Casio and it's quite old (still uses floppy discs). The supports on the bottom are plastic and one of the supports split in Dec. The other one is more or less in tact, but with Ty playing the piano all the time now, we decided it would be safer to have a different piano. Well, we got this "new-to-us" piano on Wed. and then Mike left right after it's arrival for SLC. He got home last night at 10 pm. The plan is to get the piano out of the house now that he's back. Even though the piano has been in it's current state for 6 months, little Brayden decided to experiment with it's stability this morning. I heard Mike tell Brayden 'no' and then a huge crash. I ran in and saw only the top of Brayden's head under the fallen piano. I had a heart attack. He was crying- good sign- means he's alive. Mike pulled the piano up and I got Bray out from under. It felt like an eternity during those 15 seconds or so. There was quite a bit of blood. I tried to hold pressure on all of the cuts while Mike was getting everyone into the car for a trip to Instacare. I was really not thinking very quickly so I'm glad Mike was there. We have an Instacare 5 min. from our house. I was totally bawling in the car along with my little boy who was so scared and in so much pain. He's very strong and I couldn't keep pressure on the cuts so the bleeding was crazy and his face swelled up so quickly. I ran him into the doctor and although they started asking me absurd questions (like "how big was the piano"- who cares, he's bleeding and needs to be seen!!) we got him in. No permanent damage but he has all of these lovely, deep cuts. Two of them were stitched and he had to go to the dentist for the tooth that was knocked out of place. We are so lucky that he is ok. It could have been so much worse. The piano isn't as heavy as a real piano but when a 2 yr old is pinned under one, it could mean death. I have thought through this so much today and I feel God really watches over 2 yrs olds (especially 2 yr old boys). I feel guilty and so sad for my little boy. I wish now that I had called someone to help me move the piano while Mike was gone instead of just putting it in the other room. Hind-sight is sometimes a horrible thing. I'm just glad by baby is ok.
