A fellow Blogger, Anett of Mouse House experienced a real tragedy in her family. Her great-granddaughter accidentally swallowed what you see below. The link I've provided to the article is brief and insightful. I hope we might be able to leave a note at Mouse House creating a sort of Spirit Gallery for her to turn to during this difficult time. Update: They received this news while her husband, Great Grandpa, was in the hospital. He was there for a Knee Replacement. They over medicated John with pain meds and he went into cardiac and respiratory arrest. Chemical pneumonia set in. She needs us.

I'm reminded that while I'm frustrated, angry and irritable at my own physical state there is great loss and suffering in this world, greater than mine. I love Anett dearly. It is my intention to lift her up in some small way, to give her a deep well of faith to reach into, to let her know the power of the Realm of Quilters. We are all here for you my friend.

How very sad - it makes me thankful that things are going as well as they are for us - our prayers and thoughts are with this family.
How very tragic!
Thanks for telling us about this, Karen - my heart bleeds for them.
What a tragedy! I never thought of a battery as being so dangerous! Thanks for the heads up. No matter how bad things get, there is always someone who has it worse. There's a lesson in there.
How could a Mom ever have known in time that this little girl swallowed what she did? This is just such a terribly sad and tragic accident. I am sorry for the loss of this dear child. I too learned a lesson here.
Oh, such a terrible tragedy! Thank you for sharing this story. It could save the life of another little child.
Oh, Karendianne, thank you for alerting us to Anett's tragedy. I have gone to her site and left her a message of my sympathy and concern.
I hope you are doing better. Hugs and snugs to you.
How tragic. I would never have thought of a battery as being so dangerous.
Oh Karen, that is so sad..
My prayers and thought are with the family..

I am so sorry to hear this! I will go over and offer my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you, K.D. Our circle is forming and you have called us to it.
May our combined energies and the lifting up of our prayers allow some softening for the hardships and losses of this precious family.
Karen, I cannot believe this dreadful tragedy - there are not words to describe the loss - God bless you all!
Hugs - Lurline♥
This is so sad and it almost made me physically ill reading it. As a parent you pay so much attention to so many things and then to think something so little and innocuous that you would never think of, I know I don't, can totally devastate your world. It's just unbelievable. I am so happy that the little angel is in a better place and may her spirit serve to enlighten others. I know it has me.
This is so sad. My thoughts and prayers are with this family and with you.
How terrible. My heart goes out to this family.
Thank you Karen for bringing to our attention the danger of batteries, we needed to know about this.
How sad. I'm sure her family is devastated. Thank you for sharing this with us.
As I sat in the hematologist's waiting room earlier this a.m. with my MIL, a very (!!) ill woman came in for her appointment. MIL turned to me and said "maybe the reason I have to come to the doctor's office is to remind me that I'm really not that bad off after all."
To which I silently said AMEN.
Blessings to you Karen for letting us know about Anett's family ~
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate it and so does my family. With this message getting out...if it saves a little one from this, I will be doubly blessed. Thanks Karen for putting this on your blog and for getting the message out about the batteries...You know I love ya Kiddo!

How awful, poor baby and poor family. I posted this at the hospital so we all could be aware.
This is such a sad, sad thing. I'll share this info in hopes of saving other lives.
Keeping this family in my thoughts & prayers.
Karen L.
