so you don't miss any of our future
videos when a parent tucks their kids in
for the night they leave the room hoping
their child will sleep through the night
they also leave the room sure that they
will see their child again in the
morning well this was not the case with
Cary Hall
Vollmer this mom put her baby girl to
bed she had no idea the danger that was
hiding in that room kiri Hall vol Mert
was the proud mother of a three-year-old
son named Jackson and a 17 month old
baby girl named Sammy a February 28th
2016 Kari put her babies to bed the same
way she did every night the only
difference between most nights is that
her ston was going to be sleeping
downstairs so that he could be close to
her he was at that age where he was
afraid of monsters to make things easier
on everybody she allowed him to sleep
downstairs
she put her daughter to bed in her own
room that night her daughter Sammy loved
her crib and she loved her bedroom
Carrie decorated the room herself and it
was fit for a princess before Carrie
took Sammy upstairs she said night-night
to her daddy like most children her age
Sammy didn't want to go to bed when
Carrie put her in the crib she cried for
a minute or two before finally drifting
off to sleep she never thought that it
would be the last time that she would
see her little girl alive Carrie posted
what happened next on her Facebook page
as a warning to other mothers for post
read the desperation and screeching
panic and my husband's voice the next
morning as he went to retrieve her from
upstairs of something I will never
forget I was in the kitchen making
coffee and as soon as my husband
screamed Carrie I knew something was
terribly wrong I froze and too yelled my
name again as he ran down the upstairs
hallway when Carrie got upstairs to
Sammy's room and she saw him cradling
their little daughters limp body she
broke down in tears something had gone
terribly wrong that night but she
couldn't imagine what she thought her
daughter
was too old for SIDS and nobody had
shaken or abused the baby she was in
shock her little girl was just alive a
few hours earlier and now she was gone
it turned out little Sammy died of
hyperthermia not hypothermia but
hyperthermia can we never knew this was
even a possibility for small children
the child's not able to regulate their
body temperature until they're about 3
or 5 years old on her Facebook page
Carrie posted even though our upstairs
thermostat was set on 72 degrees the
heater was blasting upstairs and it felt
like a sauna the temperature registered
99 degrees on our thermostat which was
as high as it could go
meaning that it was over a hundred
degrees upstairs the only solace that
Carrie had was that her daughter went in
peace the doctors told her that it was
very unlikely Sammy woke up so she died
peacefully in her sleep it was painless
while Carrie was devastated her little
girl was gone she was thankful that
Jackson was afraid of monsters and she
not let him sleep on the main floor of
her room the doctor said that he likely
would have died as well
after Sammy's death Carrie discovered
that her family was not the only one
affected by hyperthermia in multiple
story homes she says that she thought
that she prepared herself for everything
that motherhood could bring on Facebook
she posted upon preparing to become a
mother
I read multiple books and stories on
possible dangers that could harm babies
and toddlers I wish I had once read
about this Carrie says this type of
thing was not in any of the baby books
she read
she says that since she'd never heard of
something like this before
many expectant moms likely hadn't either
she decided to share her story on
Facebook to raise awareness of the issue
she says that she would never want
another parent to go through what she
and her husband had just gone through
Carrie wanted to also educate parents on
hyperthermia the signs include fever
over 103 rapid heartbeat dizziness
confusion and skin that's hot to the
touch to prevent a baby from developing
hyperthermia in their home
there are a few things the parents can
do allow your children to sleep on the
same floor as you so you can tell if the
temperature goes up too high use a baby
monitor that can measure the temperature
in a child's room and don't use space
heaters in your child's bedroom Kari
says it's too late for her family but
it's not too late for others that's why
she shared her story subscribe for more
