Has anyone ever heard of this? A little boy died of it. He was swimming and then got out of the pool, dried off, complained of being tired and when he went to take a nap he died. His lungs were full of water and he drowned. So scary!

I read this story and it's so scary to me . I had NO idea this was possible.

It also really scares when I think back to last weekend. I was telling some of you about it last night - how Amelia was at the pool with us two weekends ago and the next day started vomiting a LOT. We thought it was because she had fallen, BUT she had also swallowed a lot of pool water.

Makes you wonder. VERY scary.

One more thing for me to worry about all summer!

I saw this on a news show either yesterday or the day before. Very scary! I'd never heard of it till then.

That is very scary. Sometimes my LO will do things that, when I really think about it afterward, worries me because anything can happen. It's just a reminder of how precious every day is with our loved ones. Just tragic for that family.

That story is so scary. We just got a pool so I was reading about it on the internet - after my daughter swallowed and coughed up water - and came across this website (below) that helped clear it up a little and take some of the panic out of a fun day in the pool. It seems to be informative, although I'm not sure if it is written by docs. or not.
