Lylli's Close Call

Yesterday evening Lylli got trapped in the convertible top of our car when we were leaving Lowes. Apparently she climbed out of her car seat (and she was buckled) and partially over the back seat while Brandon was putting the top down.  She was lodged from the chest up in the folded top.  We couldn't get the top to go back up, so Brandon pulled it up and I pulled her out.   When we got her out of the car she was unconscious, eyes open, unresponsive, drooling.... we thought she was dead =( . Brandon shook her until she came too - looking back we probably should not have done that but we just wanted her to breath.  I called 911 - there was a nurse in the parking lot that came to help until the ambulance got there.  They took her to Memorial Herman, did a trauma workup (Cat scan of head, neck, chest, and belly).  She was moving all of her extremities so felt ok about her neck, but was really scared about all the blood blisters forming on her face and chest.  The nurse said these were likely from a build up of pressure that made her blood vessels burst.  Well that made me think "oh God she may have burst a blood vessel in her brain!"  Needless to say I was having hard time keeping it together - but Brandon was amazing!  I could not believe how calm he stayed.  We got back all of her scans and there was nothing bad - just a possible ear infection.  The only way you can tell anything happened to her is from the blood spots that she still has on her face and chest.  The doctor diagnosed her with head, neck, chest, belly, etc contusions.  He said they would fade in a few days (up to 2 weeks).  God was watching over our baby girl - Thank you Jesus!!!   Today I asked her what she was doing climbing back there... She told me she saw the garage door opener that we had lost and she was trying to get it before the top came all the way down.  She said she tried to push the top back up but it was too heavy.  Well, that explains all the blood blisters on her hands =(.  If you have a convertible PLEASE be careful.  We could never have imagined this could happen - and it happened fast!
