PSA: CARBON MONOXIDE!

Holy cow -- one of the girls on the Nest Book Club board just posted this link.  A girl from her local board and her 2-year-old daughter almost died from carbon monoxide!

Please, please get carbon monoxide detectors!  We have the combined smoke/CO detectors.  They are not expensive at all, don't need to be "installed" (just screwed into the ceiling), and they just run on AA batteries. CO has no smell at all, so you would not be able to detect a leak.

    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • oh my God, How scary! We have them, Todd insisted when we converted our electric range to gas, and the detectors have worked... We had a leak once.

    We have the kind that actually detects propane, natural gas and CO2. They plug into an outlet, and I think the set of 2 was under $100 at Lowes.

  • we had a CO scare back in October. It was terrifying. We had to evacuate the house and everything. Our CO detector saved our life!
  • We had to evacuate our house because of a carbon monoxide leak last week.. it was really scary to think what would have happened if we hadn't  installed the detectors the night before!
  • Our detector saved our lives about 2 months ago.  It woke us up at 2AM and we wouldn't have known otherwise.  Please for the safety of your lives, get one and make sure the batteries are good.  It will only help you.
  • I saw that post on my local board.  I bought CO2 detectors because a family recently died here in Colorado.  I kept forgetting to take them out of the package.  You can bet I did as soon as I saw that post!  Scary.  I'm so glad her and her baby are okay.
