Wow, Great Job!!!! I can understand the mothers actions from first hand experience.
My son (when he was about 2 years old) got upset while at my moms getting ready to go swimming. He didnt want to put on his life jacket, to go down the 10' Slide... He started crying and ended up holding his breathe ended up stopped breathing. I rushed to pick him up and what seemed like an eternity, layed him down on the picknik table, and he turned blue, and started convulsing....I just knew that we were going to loose him. Doing what any father would have done, blew down his mouth to try to get him to breathe, while shedding a few tears my self. He finnally stopped convulsing and came too, just in time for the ambulance workers to check him out (I didnt even know that my sister had called them) and they rushed him to the hospital. Luckily that was his last episode, and he is doing fine now. But I swear, My heart missed quite a few beats that day....


Once again Great Job Pappa Smurf!!!!!
