I kept wondering why she was pacing back and forth.
I glanced out of the corner of my eye and she was walking back and forth and in circles.
Thats not like her, I thought.
As the realtor and I were finishing our discussion I heard K yell,
"Olive, holy shit...OLIVE!!!!"
As I turned she was wobbling and went face first into a tree by the edge of the driveway,
then into a pile of large landscape rocks.
seizure.
I yelled,"call 911" over and over again
until I could hear the realtor giving a clear address and saying Olive's age and the situation.
Kevin was trying to turn her over, but I knew we should not move her too much, so I pushed him away and carefully flipped her
and held her head as she screamed a primal weird scream....
her eyes looking at nothing, but everything.
It only lasted about 10 seconds, but seemed longer.
I cradled her head and made sure she could not move it.
I felt her nose gently....
broken for sure.
I looked at her ears,
no blood yet.
the egg all ready forming on her forehead.
The next several hours were spent at the emergency room....
standard scans and blood work.
I texted her dad before I even left the area it happened.
K...came in,
then we decided he should leave so that when dad came he could come in with no issue.
Covid and the ER keeps people from having visitors, but because Olive was under 16...both parents or care givers, are allowed.
As K left Olive cried.
She asked me ....
"did you text dad?
why isn't he coming or texting"
He must be busy and not have his phone....
you know he would be here.....
One hour, two hours, 3 hours.....
still no answer.
"mom ....why isn't dad coming?"
well...as we were finishing our paper work....
he texted....I told her this....
"He called...He didn't have is phone...he isn't near home so he can't get back....he loves you....and is worried."
but what he really said to me...
"WTF?....I'm not near home.....and Where were YOU when this happened???
(standing next to her)
Hmmmmmmmm
sure.....makes me wonder what the fuck is going on over there"
he didn't ask how she was, or that he was going to hurry home to see if she is ok...
or....let me talk to her ....
wow that is really scary.
he said .......
Hmmmmmmm
and questioned the situation.
my heart broke...
broke because this is not who I was with...
or was it?
It broke because I cannot and will not be able to continue to explain and cover
It broke for Olive.
She's tucked into bed with a broken nose, a concussion and a huge lump on her head.
I'm checking on her continuously ....
the dog at her side.
I want her to know I Love her so much
we all do.....
but today....
I feel different
not my love for her....
but my hope....
for love
write ya later
