Jaden wasn't feeling so great yesterday. I think he's stressed out from all the visitors we have down here and being a little "out of his element".
He started having diarrhea yesterday afternoon so I gave him sone anti-diarrhea medication and fed him some boiled chicken and rice in hopes to calm his belly. I put him in his crate so he'd rest and not be passed around by everoyne and bothered by all the noise and everything that was going on.
He seemd like he was getting better. Last night I got ready for bed and put him in bed with me like I always do. My bed is against a wall, so Jaden always stays on the inside, near the wall, and I lay on the outside that way if he tries to move over me I'll feel him and wake up. He's so good about staying in bed and sleeping all night I never have any trouble with him. Well last night, I wake up to a "thud". My heart dropped into my stomache and before I even had to feel for him I knew he had gotten off of the bed. My bed is about 3 1/2 feet high and he's never jumped that high ever. I rushed to the side of the bed to get him expecting the worse and he was down there spinning to go to the bathroom. He had diarrhea again and didn't want to go in the bed. I am not sure how he survived such a fall, let alone survived it with no injuries. He didn't whelp or cry and is running around like a mad man today like nothing happened. I'm taking him to the vet on Tuesday anyway so I'll have them take an x-ray just in case but even when I feel his legs and press on certain parts he does nothing. I was so worried and expecting the worse. I can't tell you how sick I felt when I heard that sound and on all days Christmas morning at 5:00 AM

I really believe God was watching over him and somehow he landed a certain way so that he wasn't hurt at all.

I don't know what I'd do without him and by far the best present I recieved today was him not being hurt.

Now that I know he is brave enough to get off the bed if he has too I'm going to look into some type of bed rail guard or something he can sleep in where he cannot get off of it and jump of the bed. Honestly, I'd rather him make a mess in the bed if he has too than risk his life and jump off. Messes can be cleaned and taken care, bones always aren't that easy to fix.

Just wanted to remind everyone to be careful with your babies and love them everyday like its the last day you'll have them. You never know what could happen so treasure them always.
