A sad case indeed 2J. I also had a friend with a baby tragedy (strangled himself by snagging a hooded sweatshirt on his crib) they are hard ones to take.

Our family almost had that type of tragedy, but we were spared by the grace of God. When I was 4 my 2-year-old brother and I were riding in the back seat of the car eating peanut-butter sandwiches, when I noticed him turning blue. I was too young to realize what it meant, but I found it odd, so I pointed it out to my parents, who of course instantly realized he was choking on his sandwich. At the time we were on the freeway, so my Dad pulled over to give my brother CPR. By a stroke of grace the sherriff happened to be driving by, so he we ended up getting a high-speed police escort to the hospital. My brother went into a coma and was biologically dead for a few minutes, but he came out of it and recovered completely. My Mom never let us eat while we were driving again.

Close call indeed.

See ya later everyone, I am done with all the work I can do for now, and I am gonna get some outside chores done.

Hm...we had sort of the same thing happen, though it wasn't as serious, and it was my fault. I was baaad. Didn't mean to be, though! My brother and I were riding in the back seat and Mom had given me a couple of peanut butter balls to eat - they've got peanut butter, milk power and honey...good, by the way - and I decided to share them with my brother. He was very little at the time, though, only a couple of months old, and definitely not capable of eating them. Luckily Mom noticed before he choked, but she said he was starting to turn blue.

I HOPE I was just trying to be generous, but I don't really remember. ;-)

Glad to hear your brother was OK, though! Holy cow...that's pretty scary!

Joshua choked on a doughnut once while I was driving...I drove clear off into a field on the side of the road and jumped into the back to help him. 'Course by then he had got over it and was sinking in it for another bite.
