First Time Parents Syndrome


Brent, my mother, and I took Clark to the pediatrician today because Brent and I were afraid Clark was having trouble breathing. He has been choking or gagging in his sleep and last night he really scared me when I woke up to the sound of his gagging. I jumped out of bed faster than I thought possible, pulled him from his crib and noticed that his lips were purple. Once I sat him up, Clark began breathing almost instantly, and he recovered fine but I was filled with worry.

Doctor Smith listened to our concerns with great sympathy and thoroughly checked over our son. Much to our great relief, she gave Clark an excellent bill of health and stated, "he's a lively, and opinionated boy." My mother responded, "sounds like his parents!"
