My husband, who is a doctor, of course, was like, "He's fine. He's fine." It was me who took him to the Emergency Room and he wasn't fine. It was that moment, it became crystal clear to me, I know my child best. Even better than my husband. From that moment on, self-trust, mother's instinct -- call it what you want -- is the most important thing in raising my children.
