Does he not cry much when he gets hurt? I think this list has had the high pain threshold discussion before. Alot of the kids seem to tolerate pain that would drive thier sibs to tears. is this way, it's the only thing that makes sense, when she'll continue doing whats requested with not much complaining when she has a strep infection, her older sis would have been laying in bed refusing to move. And I have lots and lots of walnuts, even tried bringing some into the house last week.....her hands look like she hasn't washed them in ages to. :-/ Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Beth, how scary! When my brother and I were little (he was about 2) he pull a cup of tea off the table and had a serious burn. To this day I still move coffee/tea cups off placemats and put them on the table when I see them. I hope Austin recovers quickly...and you too! R.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 My Dr. told me to use a cool mist vaporizer for safety reasons. He explained that unless you are sitting at a table with a towel over your head with the steam blowing right at you, the droplets are room temperature by the time they reach you across the room. Made sense to me. Karla in Texas pamela jenney wrote: > Oh Beth...That happened here only my Daughter was only > 2 or three and she stuck her hand in it.
