Baby dies in apartment complex

After this message was posted below, an infant died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in the apartment complex. There has been concern about the number of SIDS deaths in FEMA trailers on the Gulf Coast. This all underscores the recommendation by Jennifer Donelson (see March 31 blog below) that babies exposed to formaldehyde should be on apnea monitors.

Here is an excerpt from that blog:

My main concern is women in FEMA trailers who are pregnant or who have a baby that spent time as a fetus in a FEMA trailer. Maybe if someone hears my story, they might be able to do something to save their baby’s life. People need to know that an apnea monitors for their child’s breathing could save their child’s life. If my child had an apnea monitor, he wouldn’t have been dead for 20 minutes and suffered all that brain damage.
