“WARNING: SENSITIVE MATERIAL BELOW!
I have gone back and forth about posting this or not posting this but I believe if this post saves one child’s life it’s worth being vulnerable. Our sweet 3-year-old boy is a survivor. On January 7th our son climbed up to the top bunk bed and wrapped the blind cords around his neck. He then began to walk down the ladder as the cords tightened he panicked and tried to yell for mom and dad but nothing came out.
He scratched at the cords to loosen them, but all he could grab was skin. At the last attempt to get free he jumped to come get us and that very jump saved his life! The cord snapped and freed him!
We heard a loud thud (his jump) and then his loud scream! This was not just any scream it is one I have never heard in my life and it will forever be ringing in my ears.
We took him to get checked out in the ER and they were very concerned and shocked. These blind cords are not meant to break.
