Garwyn's misadventure again! What a April Fool Day that freak me out! Garwyn's right foot got stuck in the Square 2 escalator.

Thought since it was Friday so wanna bring the kids for lunch and to check out on the Apple's store for iPad. Nevertheless, we never make it for lunch nor ipad, we ended up in Tan Tock Seng A&E instead.

I always reminds the kids not to stand near the edge of the escalator but this hyper Garwyn never really understand. I was a little distracted and he was standing very close to the side of the escalator holding on to the rail watching and suddenly it happened so fast - I just frozen! Daddy was behind him and was quick enough to pull him out. I was thinking "DEAD! His toes are gone!"

Looking at the condition of the shoes and past accidents, usually it will end up fireman coming to release the foot and toes are amputated. I must said this again "GOD was there and watching over him!" I dun need a video to record that moment because till now it is still so fresh in my mind. He had cuts on his 3 toes but not really bleeding much and the cuts were not to deep. We were really blurred. The passer-by told us to go to Novena Medical Centre and we went only to realise it individual clinics and we don't know which is GP! Then another quick-witted guy told us TTS is just opposite! We rushed there! He was a brave boy! He cried but was not hysterical. He kept asking Daddy to clean away the oil and blood on his toes.

His recovery was fast, on the second day he was already running and jumping around. For now, I hope He will always remember NEVER STAND NEAR THE EDGE OF THE ESCALATOR!
