hope-your line "it sucks out loud" made me hysterically laugh!! i agree with your points totally!

jenny-i was thinking the SAME thing as i was reading the posts until i came to yours! my family didn’t take it seriously until my husband literally started screaming at them at the top of his lungs as we drove to the hospital to get admitted for the second time with a stomach virus. since then, they got the message.

it is tough what to tell people, family or not. i go through it with sitters, too! you don’t want to scare them and make cah define your child, but it CAN be a real tough issue at times.  who knows??? at least none of us are alone.
