To the Editor:
On Wednesday, July 14 I was enjoying the afternoon sun with my 20-month-old son when he fell and struck his chest and did not seem to be able to recover his breath. After several minutes of trying to comfort him, he still did not seem to be returning to his normal breathing pattern. I called my pediatrician, who was able to monitor my son’s breathing and pulse rate through our cellphones. She told me to call 911, which I did immediately.
