Heat Rash or Pneumonia? Take Your Pick

This morning I was reminded of what my mother said a few months after our first son was born. It was in June (pretty cold in my part of the world) but this day it was rather warm...at least we thought so. We did not have the baby in the kind of warm clothing she felt he needed.

Mum proceeded to pad him up real good. My wife and I protested and Mama simply made a statement that has stuck to this day "It's easier to deal with heat rash than pneumonia." You know, a year later, that boy had pneumonia and we almost lost him!

I now remember why I was reminded of that: mum is visiting from tomorrow and I was holding our second son...it's been pretty cold.....

Good o' Mama
