btw Hgirs, I bet your heart has not slowed since your scare. I have never had anything that scary happen to me with my DS but I did think I had lost him in a kids playcentre a few months ago. Normally I would not take my eyes off him but all the other mothers were happy to let their kids run amok so I thought I was just being paranoid because it was not long after I lost Charlie and I was supersentive. There were kids and adults everywhere and we couldn't find him for about 10mins after everyone had gone. It turned out he was upstairs in this room I didn't even know existed playing a computer game. It was the most sickening feeling and I swore after that I would never worry about how paranoid I was being, or what other mothers might think. Our little ones are way too precious for that. I am just so relieve for you that your DS is ok, try not to beat yourself up too much with the 'what ifs'. You are only human and unfortunately stuff like this happens. I bet DS has been getting plenty of extra hugs and kisses since!
