Emma actually did that once when she was around 18 months. She literally cried so hard that she stopped breathing. I somehow managed to recall the first aid training, and slapped the soles of her feet. She took a big gasp and was fine...but I can imagine how it feels. <br /><br />When your heart hurts, remember how many of us are here, loving you. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call. (Even if you need a bottle of wine and someone to drink it with.) *hugs*Four Jordanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563090187161059781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-57959854062950742212011-03-17T18:22:13.580-07:002011-03-17T18:22:13.580-07:00It makes so sad to hear of her eyes rolling back. ...It makes so sad to hear of her eyes rolling back. Yes, you are right though, it is your normal and it will be okay. It is truly amazing what the human mind and spirit can do to help you adjust to a new reality.

But it's up to us what we do with our situations. You, my friend, are doing an amazing job. You are rising to the occasion, BIG TIME. You are such an inspiration to me. Both you and Dave...such loving parents, so devoted to your little girl. I'm proud to know you, and I hope we can meet in person one day. What is it...an 8 hour drive up the coast for me? Hey, I've driven further :)Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-45129600398667062872011-03-16T20:46:26.358-07:002011-03-16T20:46:26.358-07:00Oh Jen....I know it's so different but I can r...Oh Jen....I know it's so different but I can relate in many ways....hugs!The Sanchez Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193773268823617205noreply@blogger.com
