A moment of silence

I just found out that a colleague's 2 year old little boy went to bed last night with a fever and was found dead two hours later. Otherwise healthy. BAM! No warning.

I'm left with a sick feeling in my stomach as Addie's daycare calls to tell us she needs to go home because she has a fever. I'm not quite at that "freak out" zone because I know that what happened to his son is so crazy uncommon. But I am definitely in that "imagine if it were me" zone as no parent should ever have to experience such a loss.

And so quickly without warning. How does the world continue to turn?

Time to go home and snuggle with my little girl who isn't feeling well today.

Oh my god that's so sad and scary! Did they ever find out if there was undiagnosed issues? :(

No. They ruled out any foul-play from the parents and then due to religious reasons I think they chose to not dig any deeper. Scary stuff.

Jess, do you still have a blog??? If so, what's the address? I'd love to catch up with you!
