Scary Mom Moments

One Westwood mom muses on a recent scary moment. What are yours?

Frankie was in the hospital for three days last week for a possible concussion, which turned out to be a bad stomach virus!  

Wow, what a scary, difficult time for him, and me as his mom!! Makes you realize how important health is, although that is not something I usually take for granted.  

He is feeling better and eating more, but I am still recovering from seeing him so sick and staying in the hospital.

He was amazingly brave; through IV's, bloodwork, etc. It was just very hard to watch and I keep thinking about it! I feel like every time he does something, I feel a bit more scared that he is going to get hurt. It will pass, I know, but being a mom can be a scary job, sometimes.
