I can understand how this could hit especially hard for any parent, as it’s a reminder that we can never be too careful when it comes to our kids’ health and well-being. In some ways, sharing these kinds of stories helps parents stay vigilant and hopefully save a life by raising awareness.

If you’re up for it, would you like to share more about what Cassandra’s post revealed, or how we can spread awareness about this silent threat? Sometimes these conversations can help create a ripple effect of change that can truly make a difference.
