Dry Drowning

Have you ever heard of this???? A friend of mine sent me a story of a little boy who died hour after swimming in a pool. HE walked home from the pool with his mother & sister! At some point during the day he swallowed some water and it got into his lungs. It's crazy scary!!!!!

His mom said that when he swallowed the water he soiled himself. And later was extremely tired. When she went to wake him up from his nap he had a spongelike substance on his face. How sad for that mother. How devestating!

The signs that you should look for are unusual behavior, extreme fatigue, & trouble breathing. These things happen because the brain is getting less oxygen. WOW, another thing we need to be aware of and watch for. It makes me scared to death to let the boys take a bath without me being there EVERY single second!!!!!
