A momentary scare


Just to begin,
everybody is ok. 
Tonight was haircut night at the Jones house.  First I removed all of Zeb's hair.  Just grabbed the clippers and shaved it all off.  Then it was William's turn. I carefully clipped all the hair around the bottom and was trimming the top when he told me he wasn't feeling very good.  So I stopped.  He started walking away from me, then he turned towards me. 
As I was watching his lips turned gray and he suddenly started to fall.  I caught his arm and tried to grab him as he fell.  It slowed his fall and he landed on the toilet paper rolls, so he didn't get hurt. It was one of the scarier moments.  He lay there with his head lolling around his shoulders, his eyes wide open but not seeing. Listless and completely unresponsive.  I sat him up and patted him until he came to.  Of course he was confused and unsure of what had happened. 
My little boy fainted.  Poor baby.   He is fine now, but I have to say it was terribly scary.
