The Canney's had a real scare on Monday(1/26) and I thought I would give everyone an update.
After a day of teaching, at about 3:45, Melissa was walking to her car with some school stuff in her hands and she fell on the blacktop as she stepped off the sidewalk in front of the school building. She had a second grade student at her side helping her carry some things. Melissa fell belly first, with only a small scape on her knee and her watch a little scratched up too. Her belly took the majority of the impact. A co-worker(Val) rushed to get me and once I was outside I had our secretary call 911.
Val was a true blessing and covered us in prayer as we huddled on the ground. After she went inside Melissa and I had some time to pray, as it was a very scary time for us. By 3:55 Melissa was loaded into an ambulance and was taken to Underwood Memorial Hospital (where Addison was born) based off of the EMT's recommendation. At Underwood we were sent directly to maternity and sometime between 4:15 and 4:30 Melissa was hooked up to some machines to check the baby's heartbeat. Watching them search for the heartbeat for a few moments was one of the most anxiety and fearful times of my life. They found it right away though, and there were some joyful tears of relief for Melissa and I. They kept her hooked up, drew blood and gave her a bag of fluid. Everything came back fine and around 7:00 our doctor came in and said everything looked OK. We were on our way home around 7:30. Obviously we were relieved and thankful that everything is fine.
Melissa was however in a lot of pain. The worry for the baby subsided and we then realized that her back was really sore along with the other aches and pains from the fall. She has recovered quickly though and is doing better than what we expected as far as pain and soreness. We praise God that He protected us from serious harm during this scary episode.
