 | The unexpected events which occurred on August 13, 2015 will forever be imprinted in my mind. It was the scariest moment as a mother and changed what I thought mattered the most in life and what my mission in my Perfectly Posh Business. I was forced to remember the mind is a power thing. What we put in our minds can be detoxing and cause havoc. Even make us totally out of control... limp, lying on a floor unconscious. At least that is what happened that very day to my youngest daughter, Aurora, age 16. The day began bright and early at 9 am. The poison ivy she got at camp was getting worse so we drove into town to our local Med Express. After the Dr. confirmed this she listed the medicines she would be prescribing and oh she would also get a steroid shot to help speed up the healing process. Her face turned pale. "Shot???" I could see her visibly become shaken with fear and anxiety. What happened next I truly wish I could take back... |
"Aurora, it's going to be alright. You want to hold my hand?" I said. Consoling and talking through fears is a mom's daily life. We are comforters. The nurse left and I said to her "well that wasn't too bad was it?" Her eyes filled with tears. The burn of the steroid was taking effect. She began to sob uncontrollably. Now any mother of teenager girls can tell you we mothers grow a thick skin to the wrath of emotions a teenager can ensue on loved ones. Sometimes it's like performing an exorcism...LOL She finally calmed down. The nurse came in gave her a cherry coke and me an excuse note for her to miss school. "Mom? Can you hand me my phone?" "Phew.." I thought. She was finally calm. So I sat down to wait for us to be release.
I reached in my purse for my cellphone and check on my team, clients and started to finish some conversations by text when I heard something sliding. I looked up to see Aurora unconscious falling head first off the examiners table. Lunging forward I tried to catch her fall but it happened so quickly I heard the thud of her head hit the floor. My First Responders training kicked into overdrive. "Aurora??? Aurora??? Can you hear me???" I said while tapping her on the shoulder. Her eyes shot open and body started to jerk. I screamed on the top of my lungs. "Somebody come here my daughter is unconscious!!!" By the time the nurses and Dr came into room she regained mobility and clarity. Tears filled my eyes of relief. Her vital signs... good. Blood pressure... good. But I insisted we go to the ER since she fell on her head.
After 6 hours at the ER the diagnosis? Aurora suffered a vasovagal response to the fear of getting a shot. And this reminded me what a powerful mind we have.
You see we all have stress and fears that come into our lives daily. The majority of us hold on and never truly "Let it go!" as Idina Menzel beautiful sings. I have taken pride of being a Perfectly Posh Consultant since March 31st , 2014, sharing with my friends, family and the USA of their amazing naturally-made pampering products. Thus advocating to consumers to consider freeing themselves of harmful toxins and sharing truths of lies communicated in the media. But now my purpose has grown to be a promoter of self awareness.
