We all understand at least I do in more ways than ya know. hey an idea for the candy thing... get one of those thingys that has a little circle gripper and the tops screws off. The top has a net so you can put fruit or whatever in it and the child can choke on big peices. Do you understand what I am talking about? they have them a babies R us. Not sure if WalMart or Target does. If you don't let me know and I will send you one! Abby has two and never used either one. They were made by a dad that didn't want his child to choke on fruit. They are really COOL!<BR/><BR/>I will be praying for Marie! I am so sorry she is having these! Praying for a solution! <BR/><BR/>Love ya, TamTamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876154179230948474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18663529.post-70418313931545572612008-10-03T20:52:00.000-06:002008-10-03T20:52:00.000-06:00Hey there, FRIEND!Yes, it would be WONDERFUL to ha...Hey there, FRIEND!<BR/><BR/>Yes, it would be WONDERFUL to have a place just to get away! O=-)<BR/><BR/>Hey, as for going out in town with your girls... give that "mean Mama glare" if they come close. HEHEHE..<BR/><BR/>I used to put those little mitten things on our boys when they were newborns because for some odd reason, complete strangers would walk up and grab their little hands. (We ALL know that the first thing a baby will do is suck that fat little fist!) <BR/><BR/>Anyway.. and on a more serious note.. don't feel bad for trying to protect your little angel. You're just being a GREAT MOM!Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061703881519814172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18663529.post-64525661788570896732008-10-03T12:49:00.000-06:002008-10-03T12:49:00.000-06:00Sweet Girls! I am glad you are back... no worries ...Sweet Girls! <BR/>I am glad you are back... no worries on your last blog you are honest and transparent! A beautiful person! I share your frustrations not judge you. Whatever you feel though. You are aloud to change your mind as much as you'd like. <BR/>Know that you are in our prayers. <BR/>Keep us updated with what the neuro says... she is still of seizure meds right? <BR/>I am glad Josie is feeling better and I tell that girl to enjoy soccer for us! Sophia has made a firm decision to NOT play soccer anymore... lol, maybe next year. We are sticking with ballet for now. <BR/>God Bless!

I just read your post about choking. I'm an OT in northern Alberta, and one thing I have used with little ones that struggle with swallowing is those food mesh bags that you can put solids into and the kids can suck out the flavour without risk of choking. They are advertised to be used when kids are learning to take solids. I've never used them with my daughter because I thought were kind of a gimic. But with kids with poor swallow they are pretty cool. I'll post the link for you to take a peek. Our drugstore in Peace River actually sells them, so let me know if you are interested and can't find them in the US (WalMart and such usually don't sell them - more boutiquy type things only do) I can send you one. If not interested - no worries. Just thought I would share. Was wondering if kisses could be put in and dissolved as she sucks it out. Good luck! http://www.superbabystore.com/shopping/safefeeder/BSFfeedpkg_large.jpg<BR/><BR/>Again - you are in my prayers. Your story has resonated with me. <BR/><BR/>Briar ShawBriarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431358807836708922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18663529.post-14017807046146752322008-10-02T21:17:00.000-06:002008-10-02T21:17:00.000-06:00I knew it!

I was ...I too am glad your hiatus was a short one! I was a little worried :( I love the old school Strawberry Shortcake...ahhh the memories! I found Fin a Smurf shirt that was like the one I used to have! I love it more than she does! I am keeping you all in my prayers and hoping that Marie isn't in pain! I bet it is the Hershey strike you have her on! Have you tried letting her lick on Jolly Rancher sticks? You could hold the stick while she licks on it. It is just a thought. I am the queen of junk food/sugar addiction so if anything safer comes to mind I'll post it for you. Keeping you all in my prayers!!!<BR/><BR/>Melinda in VAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18663529.post-38417592403447227272008-10-02T15:20:00.000-06:002008-10-02T15:20:00.000-06:00I am, personally, very glad that your hiatus was s...I am, personally, very glad that your hiatus was so short lived ... I miss you when you run away ;) But I do understand.<BR/>Thanks for the updates, how incredibly heartbreaking and frightening what's going on with Marie. Something woke me in the middle of the night, last night, and it was all I could do to not send you an email. The little voice ... begging for Prayers for Marie, so I obeyed and fell back into slumber Praying for that sweet girl. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything going on, here, but I've not forgotten about you guys. Just a little 'lax on sending emails and spending much less time on the computer, more time in Prayer. Sending all of you much love and precious Prayers...Michaelenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138418911641307056noreply@blogger.com
