To make matters worse, I am deaf, so there was no way for me to just listen for alerting sounds or lack thereof.

My mom called 911 while my husband and myself tried to get my daughter breathing again. Reading your post brought back memories. I remember I was supposed to nurse her at 12:00am and it was a movement of God that I checked her before time. God is faithful, always! I had a communication breakdown with my husband, we couldn't finish sentences but we both knew what each other needed and she is a healthy almost 4 year old now! I really enjoy reading your blog.

I also am a CPR instructor and know what you must have been dealing with. As a CPR instructor I want to see all parents go through a CPR course. The problem is that most of us have no money and no time to do it. I am currently taking a survey of new parents to see if an inexpensive online CPR course might be of interest to parents. <BR/><BR/>What do you think?<BR/><BR/>You can take the survey at http://s-zw1uz-38239.sgizmo.com<BR/><BR/>I am so glad your baby is OK. Good Job doing CPR.

I work with a group called PAGER (pediatric adolescent gastroesophageal reflux association) and we deal with all sorts of reflux (GERD)issues. I am in the feeding issues since I have a degree in nutrition. Check out the site and message boards if you'd like to chat with some of those moms who have also "been there" They are a wonderful group. There are also lots of tips to help reflux babies feel better too! If I can help you in any way let me know. I just posted our reflux story on our blog! Your post sent me right back there! I will be praying for your sweet baby. <BR/><BR/>In HIS love- Jen<BR/><BR/>The site is:<BR/>http://www.reflux.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-24023191165036380962007-10-17T18:13:00.000-05:002007-10-17T18:13:00.000-05:00i have been reading your site for about a month, w...i have been reading your site for about a month, what an exciting life and amazing family. this post struck me because one of my best friend's daughter, hannah, had surgery yesterday because her acid reflux is so severe. i hope it doesn't come to that with savannah, but they have been happy thus far with the results. praise God for coincidences!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888647730540997294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-75093104767934652612007-10-17T09:20:00.000-05:002007-10-17T09:20:00.000-05:00A friend gave me the link to your blog.

There are too many comments for me to check to see if anyone has told you about this product - so forgive me if you have heard about it. <BR/>Granted my boys were not preemies (far from it!) but two of my three (one still has it) had severe reflux. They were/are on meds, did the wedge, but also put this product in their bottle. The product is Simply Thick http://www.simplythick.com/ my boys use/used the "Honey" version. It helps the milk stay in their stomachs so they do not spit up or have it come out their noses. Ask your Ped. about it.<BR/>So sorry for your scare - and glad you knew what to do to help Savannah! Praise God - He is always in control! <BR/>Praying for you and Joe as you raise these precious babies.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093977536726563591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-87451546908990033222007-10-17T06:26:00.000-05:002007-10-17T06:26:00.000-05:00Hi there Suz we have been watching you through you...Hi there Suz we have been watching you through your whole pregnancy. I don't remember how we found you. You are amazing and so upbeat through everything. God has truly blessed your family. I wanted to pass along 2 must haves if you can that someone gave to me. We have been trying to see how we could afford to buy and send them to you but the finances are slim right now. The first is called a baby wrap or moby wrap. This is the most comfortable carrier EVER. I loved the baby bijorn and snuggly with my first but with the wrap you really can not tell you are carrying your little one. The other thing is a hooter hider (nursing cover) this is for of you are able to nurse the little sweeties. They are both around $35-40. You can google search the names and find them. I just wanted to let you know. The wrap has about 10 different ways to carry the babies, including a twin hold and kangaroo hold. We will be praying for you and if you have any more questions then you can e-mail me. kgoose1@juno.comMoore Praisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707683876648891007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-5719209007470052932007-10-16T23:36:00.000-05:002007-10-16T23:36:00.000-05:00So I am crying because I can not get the awful vis...So I am crying because I can not get the awful vision the words "her face was BLUE and her lips were PURPLE and she was completely limp and lifeless." conjured in my mind, out of my heart. That is so awful! Every parent's absolute worst fear! Bless your heart! It is an understatement to say I am so glad you heard that little voice God gives Moms to warn us when our babies are hurting! So glad she is OK/alive/breathing/rosy cheeked again! I would not be able to put her down either...and you can not spoil and infant! Take care and God bless all the sweet people who were there to aid you! Still have chills!

Libby was the worst and would choke silently and stop breathing daily (I was afraid to take my eyes off of her for one second). I remember the first time like it was yesterday. It was the same sort of "mothers intuition" I went to check on them.. no reason really.. just a check. I've never been so scared in my life. For the next few months I DID NOT SLEEP while they were sleeping and sat vigil next to the bouncing chairs I used to sit them upright (no more laying flat for my little ones). Reflux is terrifying and while I read this it all came rushing back. OMG... I have been there Suz and I can help! I know you get more advise then anyone needs but I have quads and I've been there. I have tons of ideas for you if you need anything! My heart goes out to you more than you know. My heart is still thumping out of my chest from reading that story. There will come a day when she does outgrow it... I promise! For the time being keep praying and stay strong.<BR/>You are amazing!<BR/>XOXO Gen McNulty<BR/>mcnultyquads.blogspot.com<BR/>gmcnulty@gmail.comGen McNultyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16400695695272235103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-30662691402715882952007-10-15T15:07:00.000-05:002007-10-15T15:07:00.000-05:00I am so happy to hear little Savannah pulled throu...I am so happy to hear little Savannah pulled through.
