Well, it happened tonight.
That God awful moment you never want to happen in your life.
Your child is choking. I mean, REALLY choking.
Luckily, DS' gag reflex kicked in (I guess)and he threw up. Weird thing is...about 2 min after the episode, he threw up again!
I was,suprisingly, calm throughout. I think b/c I didn't want him to see the panic in my eyes?
I will NEVER forget the look in his though.
My poor baby!
Hug yours extra hard ladies! What a precious gift they are...:love:

It is hard to describe the panic feeling you get inside...but kudos to you for keeping it together! I think that is our mommy strength. I know in May I was in the ER twice within 3 weeks while my oldest got 3 stitches and then my youngest got 2. It was SO hard to watch them be pinned down screaming for me while I held back tears and tried to comfort them as best I could. Of course later by myself I REALLY broke down and let it all out...and realized how lucky I am!
About a year ago, my cousin gave my dd a LIFESAVER without asking me. We were leaving and as I picked her up to put her in her carseat, her hands went to her throat and she was CHOKING!!! I had NO idea she had a lifesaver in her mouth....I had just renewed my CPR & I went into action & it was dislodged. I was not a happy camper when I saw what she had in her mouth...anyhow, Thank GOD she's fine. It's funny cause she still remembers what happen & she won't put a whole life saver in her mouth anymore. I told her to bite into little pieces then put in her mouth.
Another time, my DS was playing on his slip & slid & the boys were suppose to take turns. As soon as we looked away, his friend did not wait his turn and slid at the same time that my DS did & they collided head on....I freaked!! It was the 1st time he'd ever been hurt..my friend had to actually calm me down....there was just so much blood. Anyhow, 7 stiches later...he was fine & mommy recovered!

Sadiegirl--reading your story sent goosebumps up my spine. I get worried about that.I had put on my list of questions for the doctor to ask if the hospital has a class for first aid, which I would think would include choking. I know something will happen sometime here. My husband just went to be recertified for CPR the other day. I need to re-learn again. I have forgotten.Thank goodness your son is alright!
