That must have been a scary thing to experience in regards to your son. My children are older now, but had they been babies and that would have happened, I would be thinking exactly what Cheryl is thinking.
It is definitely a tough decision for all involved regarding Cheryl.
And of course, I am looking at it as a pet lover and the heavy weight this must be on her heart.
Cheryl you need to do what is best in the interest/safety of your son. A crawling baby soon becomes a busy moving toddler and that can be stressful at times in itself keeping him out of harms way. You know what the right decision is for you because you are experiencing it. My thoughts are with you.
