Today something very scary happened.  My husband was out mowing on his lawnmower, one of those large riding ones that turn on a dime. He likes to take my youngest who is 5 out riding on it with him as they buzz around the yard.

Today while they were mowing out back , my husband was manuevering around the swing set which has this climbing rope ladder attached to the top of the swingset.  The rope caught into the lawnmower causing the swingset to begin falling over. When my husband noticed it was going to hit my son he quickly backed up which brought the whole swingset falling and the tension in the rope caught my son around his neck.

They tipped back and my husband was using all of his strength to keep the full weight from coming down completely on my sons neck. He was losing strength fast.

He yelled and yelled for help. Finally our neighbor heard and came quickly with a knife to cut them free.

My son is pretty beat up and his neck is really raw, but I praise God that He was there and provided help from the neighbor so that it wasn't a worse scenerio. 

My son is doing just fine. I give God the Glory for that. It could have been worse.
