Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 My husband who was left to watch Christian last night for 2 hours and he put his shoes on so tight that he cut off his circulation. When I came home Christian was hysterical! He couldn't even breath he was so upset. Mike insisted it wasn't his shoes (and stupid me believed him). I spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong and calm him down. Finally, we called the Pediatrician who instructed us to go to the ER. At that point, Mike started to get his coat on and I said " Hold on one second! " I took his shoes off and both feet where reddish purple!!!!!! I WAS LIVID!!!! At that moment the baby immediately started to calm down. I massaged his feet and got them back to a normal color. I cannot believe my husband!!! That poor baby!!! I just needed write this and get it out of my system. Mommy to (12-17-98) and Christian (1-30-04) LCF - DBB 23/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi , I'm so glad you were able to figure out what was wrong. It seems we are back in the new mommy stage when baby's crying you go through that list to find the reason. No fever, Diapers dry, not hungry, clothes aren't pinching or scratching, now we have to add shoes to that list. I've had to gently nudge my husband into recognizing that maybe that last hole really was too tight...hehe! Men!! On our " new mommy " checklist, those darn shoes have been moved to the top of the list now when he starts crying. Before, every cry was because of the casts, now it's the shoes. Hehe! Good luck and hang in there! I hear it gets better! 10-09-03 atypical bl cf mitchells 23/7 > My husband who was left to watch Christian last night for 2 hours and he put > his shoes on so tight that he cut off his circulation.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi , Your husband probably had it drilled in his head that tighter is better and was trying to avoid blisters.
