Bad day out.. (never ever take the escalator with a baby inside the trolley)

 

After having lunch with my other 3 female friends, we decided to go out for shopping. Luckily my two years old son was a sleep inside his big buggy so I can easily bring him and do some shopping. One of my friend looked around for some cosmetic, me and my other friend decided to looked for some clothes. My friend was standing beside escalator looking at a dress and I was standing in front of the escalator also want to walk away to look at other clothes, that’s when I heard a middle age lady said… “Ow…! Ow…! Softly… when I turn and looked, I thought I saw her stuff felt rolling down the stairs. But when I was walking towards the escalator to help her pick up her stuff, I saw something flipping and rolled over down the escalator. And when it’s flipped over I then notice it was a baby trolley with a baby girl inside it. I was immediately ran as fast as I can to catch the baby, but she already rolling around and hit the escalator two times… and when I able to reach her and unbuckled her from the trolley she was so quiet and pale. I saw her forehead have four punctured from the escalator’s steps. And when I tried to stop the bleeding by pressing it with tissue paper, I saw her little tiny fingers scratched and the skin peeled off. I was so scared, worried to death about the baby… I don’t know what else should I do, I kept saying “My God, baby!” and keep looking at the baby girl and also at my son that sleep nicely on his trolley.

And when the staff of the shopping place brought the baby and the grandma aside, there I started to feel giddy, my stomach feels funny almost feels like throwing up and my body feels weak, like all the blood in me has been drain out, I was so shaken. I sat on a display sofa near by. After sometimes, me and my friend decided to look for our other friend. When we found her we just sat down on a bench and talked about what happen. One of my friend also saw what happen, but she’s too far to ran and save the baby. We kept saying… if only the grandma of the baby scream loud enough and said there’s a baby inside the trolley, we might react faster and might be able to save the baby faster, and if only all her stuff didn’t cover the baby, we might be able to see the baby and save her faster, and if the trolley is not to small, the baby might not flipped over and hit the escalator so many times,…. And many other an if that we can think of.

After waiting for the ambulance to come and make sure they bring the baby for further check up, we decided to go home. We’ve lost our interest to shop.

I was hopping after take some sleep I will be able to forget about what happen. But it seems it didn’t work. I really hope the baby will be fine.

Hopefully people can be more a ware the danger of taking the escalator when you bring baby trolley.  That is just a stupid dangerous mistake that sometimes I did it also. That’s a big lesson for me. I thank God it never happen to me, but I still regret that I have done it before.

I really wish I can forget about that incident. I can’t stop worrying about the baby. It’s like I can still see her face and the blood over it. God… please make sure that she’s fine.

Anyone who have baby… please don’t take the escalator or stairs with your baby inside the trolley. Be extra careful handling your baby.
