Safety Alert

As if parents are freaked out enough already, HERE is a video I found about child safety hazards and item recalls. I knew about most of these already (so sad about the cute crib bumpers - we'll use a mesh one) but some were new to me (like the wipe warmer). It is surprising that companies could, in good conscience, even sell some of these items knowing that they have caused infant deaths, but I guess the bottom line is more important to some people than some stranger's baby. Hope this helps all you new moms or moms-to-be!

P.S. One of the preschoolers in my school (he'll be in my class next month) is really ill from a ruptured appendix. I know... really bad. He is in the hospital and they can't do surgery yet (I am assuming he is not stable enough). His mom teaches at my school and the husband and daughter are very involved in all we do and help out several times a week. We love this family!

Please pray that this munchkin is able to recover fully and quickly (he is at Doernbecher). He is quite the tough little man. Pray for his family - that they are able to find comfort and peace. Pray for the doctors, that they are able to ease his discomfort, stifle the infection, and operate successfully. Thanks all.
