gigi3126 Hugs! I hope you get answers soon. carolyngrace I hope you feel better soon and don't have to be admitted. @jimbobcooter wft?!? I'm sorry he was such a douche.
I have a friend from law school. That friend's sister lives here. The sister went to the amusement park today and took a picture of someone in a not fashionable outfit, somewhat odd outfit and texted it to my law school friend. My law school friend posted it on her FB page and I saw it. I know the person in the picture.
I am still on the small world part of it and have not yet moved onto processing how I feel about this. It's a former friend who I cut off for good reasons a yeah, she's a strange one. But I am not sure I'm liking the fact that everyone is cracking jokes about her.
I don't like seeing anyone being the butt of jokes. Strange lady in a bad outfit or not, why would your law school friend think it was OK or funny to post her picture online?
**IN THE BOX**
Yeah, that's where I'm at right now. It's super easy to do this when you don't know the person and it's all anonymous but it's jsut not alright. I commented on her link "I actually know this lady" and the comments came to a screeching halt. But it's still there. I'm pretty surprised because my law school friend is usually super supportive of all people and this seems really out of step with the kind of stuff she usually posts.
@jimbobcooter what is YH saying about all the bs with this guy? Is he as riled up about it as you or is he not phased? Are they still gonna be friends?
It's awkward because they play in the same disc golf league so they are still going to see each other all the time. But yeah, he's as pissed off as I am.

Mal slipped in the bath and got water in his mouth. It couldnt of even been much he didn't even cough but his little eyes watered while he was swallowing it. I feel so awful and am totally freaked out by dry drowning.

If more information puts you at ease, read on. If more info gives you anxiety, you may want to skip this.
Secondary and dry drowning are actually very uncommon. They get a lot of media coverage when they occur because they are so unusual. There was a summer that I spoke to a parent about this nearly everyday because a local blogger picked up a story about it (that was actually a few years old).
With secondary or delayed drowning, it can help to know the signs, the most common of which is labored breathing---quick shallow breaths, flared nostrils, etc. It indicates that they are having trouble keeping their blood oxygenated. Also look for blueish lips and skin, and some times the victim may become agitated more easily than is normal, possibly even aggressive. Excessive tiredness is also usually listed as a sign, but that is an effect of swimming all day in 100% of humans, so shouldn't cause alarm on its own. If you see any of that after a submersion incident definitely visit an ER.
Dry drowning happens when water on the vocal cords causes them to spasm and block the airway. No water actually enters the lungs and it looks pretty much the same as drowning in real time. There is no delayed response.
That said, it definitely sounds to me like Mal swallowed water. If he would have breathed it in there definitely would have been coughing. Even with water in the nose there is usually coughing. He probably cried more because he was startled than anything else. If you want something to practice with him, our babies are big enough to begin to copy bubble blowing and that is a fun game that will teach him what to do with water around his mouth (spit it out).
thanks for that! He actually didn't cry just watery eyes like he wasn't expecting that to happen. He was totally calm which makes me feel better. I really think he probably barely got any but it was still scary for me. Lol
Happy birthday little turtle! Lots of hugs to you gigi3126. It's a scary thing to face, but hopefully the neurologist will be able to give you some answers and help reassure you. carolyngrace, I'm sorry no one reached out to make sure you were ok. I hope you feel better soon and will have a healing night's sleep tonight! @jimbobcooter... I have no words for someone who could be so disrespectful of someone else's home. It's beyond ridiculous that he would think any of that was okay to do.

Even though it's rare, it's good to know about and have more information on it. Thanks for sharing this @imapenguin!
It's been a long day here. DH was supposed to be home more than three hours ago, but had a flat tire. When I talked to him at almost 9:45, he said he would be home in another 35-45 minutes. It's 11:30 now and he still isn't home. I'm not sure if I'm more worried or mad that he is so bad at keeping me updated and letting me know when he runs into delays. He has no set time he is home each day with this job and this happens allllll the time.

I'd be worried, and annoyed at being worried. This happens to DH a lot these days. He works "7-3:30" which is more like til 4:30, or 5...

All I can think of is whether or not people have posted pics of me in my LLR palm tree leggings and beige Crocs between my car and the dance studio for the FB world to mock...
