If you're in the medical field... you know what a near miss is. For those of you who aren't... let me explain. It's like an almost DISASTER occuring. Something really bad that could potentially put someone's life in danger. Like overdosing them on meds, or administering the wrong type of blood. It's a big deal for it to...almost happen.
A couple of days ago, Landon's glasses went missing. We finally ordered him a new pair about 2 weeks ago. Apparently the bigger the size, the more cash you shell out for them. The first pair we got in April after he had his accident was $150. These were $200. So imagine the desperation to find them after they went missing after only 2 weeks! We looked in all of his favorite hiding places. The drawers and cabinets, toy box, behind the tree, under beds & tables. We searched in the dishwasher, in the tub, through dirty and clean unfolded laundry. Jeremy even dug through a bag of trash that was due to go out the next morning. I moved furniture in the living room around in sheer desperation. "Please Lord I cannot afford ANOTHER pair of $200 dollar safety glasses!" Just when we were going to give up Jeremy pulled out the couch one more time and found them. They were stuck between the couch and the curtains. "Praise Jesus!"
This whole time we were searching for his glasses, Landon was jumping on the couch cushions we had torn off. He thought they were his own personal mini trampoline. Every time we asked him "Landon WHERE are your glasses?" all we got was "hmmmmmmm..." Thanks for the help son!
So all in all the near miss was avoided. Gosh I would have hated to put his life in danger if he actually would have lost them :)
