Re: Scary moment! Took Lauryn to the ER!

[Guest guest]

Oh how scary!! I can only imagine how scared you were. I am glad to

hear Lauryn is ok. THings happen and no matter how careful you are

things just happen. YOu are not a bad mom! THere is no way a bad mom

could care so deeply about her child. I can see that in your post

which brought tears to my eyes because I know exactly how you feel

when you describe how deeply you love her and couldnt imagine living

without her. A bad mom could not possibly write such a heartfelt

post. You did everything you could to make sure she was taken care

of. WE are parents not superheros and there will be times that

things happen that we wished we hadve done something different. But

God is watching over you and Lauryn and no matter what you do or dont

do He is always taking care of her.

Glad to hear you both have recovered (Lauryn from choking and you

from hysterics)

Take Care

I am so glad she is okay. I am terrified that this will happen to

us. My daughter is two and is not accustomed to being cautious with

leaving things around.

Thank God she is okay. I can't imagine how terrified you were. What

is the age difference between your kids?

OMG :

I am SO happy things turned out ok. My gosh, I bet you're completely

freaked out about this. But do NOT blame yourself! It's so hard to

keep everything off the floor, especially with 2 kids - you can't be

everywhere at once. You're hardly a bad mom. I know how you feel

though, a few mos ago while I was showering Abby opened a closet door

& found a bottle of bleach that the cap wasn't screwed on all the

way. When I got out of the shower, she was covered in bleach as

well as my house. Thank God she didn't drink any and was ok. But I

blamed myself for that and still do even though it just happened.

Cheer up, all is well & Lauryn is just fine!

,

How scary for you! I am so glad to hear that everyone is ok! You

are by no means a bad mommy, you did the right thing! I know that

gut wrenching feeling you had while your dauhgter was choking. A few

weeks back while I was upstairs with one of my kids, my oldest son

gave Danny a whole roll of Life Savers. I ran downstairs as soon as

I heard Danny choking and gave him the baby heimlich. He threw up 6

pieces of candy. He has long since forgotten it, but that awful

experience is forever etched in my brain, as I'm sure yours is too.

I'm just so grateful that I had taken a CPR and First Aid course, so

I knew what to do and I was able to remain calm. I highly reccommend

them to all parents!

Lauryn sure is a lucky little girl to have such a quick mom who knew

exactly what to do!
