I awoke to the sound of the Yowlet's panicked screams last night, and
went to see what was wrong. A thread from the cotton-weave 'hospital'
blanket had seperated and was wrapped very tightly around his arm, to
the point where his hand had started to go blue. I removed the
thread, massaged the circulation back, and got him back to sleep
(eventually). But I kept thinking... I had got that blanket over a
'regular' blanket because I had been lead to believe that said
blankets presented less of a risk of suffocation. But if it had been
his neck rather than his arm....

Please regularly check those type of blankets for loose threads, and
if there are any, its probably best just to chuck the blanket away.
Even if this particular one is Cary's precious "blankie", it was far
too close a call for me to keep the thing.

OMG! I'm so glad you got to Cary before any real harm was done.
