Thanks Mother Goose. I am extremely proud of her maturity, and we decided that we would be 100% behind her with it - despite the fact the course is all day on Harrys birthday.

Bath: Its so scary, isn't it. You know you know what to do - but you just can't remember it and it has never been as important to you as it is now! I was just so grateful for my brother because DH was also near catatonic at seeing his son being pulled out. Sam was floating just under the surface, but he mumbled to me when I got him out so I knew I wasn't too late and just needed some help and he would be fine. We called an ambulance anyway and had him transported to hospital because of secondary drowning risks.

First time I had ever recieved a compliment on my parenting from Logan Hospital. Apparently they have seen much sicker kids from near drownings and how rapidly he bouced back was a reflection on the rapid response.

However I have had my neice bleeding all over me from a laceration to the head and I was perfectly rational and had the situation under control. Her mum was pretty much how I was when my brother took Sam off me.

Oddly, DH cuts himself and I get ill and pass out. Go figure. O.o Just my luck he incised his arm about an hour ago. Screwdriver broke and sliced right through it. Had to go out and treat it without looking at it too much. My body is so weird. I can look at the injury, but not the blood.
