Success after IF

Gwen choked on a dime.

We were driving home from picking the kids up from my parents and I heard her coughing and gagging in the way-back of the minivan. Then she stopped, I heard a little bit of whistling/wheezing, and then nothing at all. I looked at her mirror, and she was bluish purple, and not breathing. I pulled over, got out, and did the H. manuever and got it out. I have no idea where in the hellll she got a dime other than from Linc who was sitting next to her in his seat. 

There was a penny under where she was sitting, and Lincoln had a penny in his hand, so I can only think that he handed it to her as he does with his trucks when we are driving.

I am a mess, and made DH vacuum out the car thoroughly.  It took a bit for me to get it together enough to drive the rest of the way home, and now I am sitting with a glass of White Cin.

    That is my nightmare. I can only hope that if it ever happens to me, I am able to keep calm and handle the situation as well as you did. Wow. Good job. You deserve that glass of wine, and then some...

  • OMG, that is so scary!  You did an awesome job taking care of Gwen; way to go momma!
    Nothing to see here....
  • Very scary, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I'm paranoid about small objects but super paranoid about coins for some reason. I can't wait until these kids get out of the must put everything in my mouth phase!

    OMG! So scary. I am so glad everything is okay. This stuff freaks me out. C gives N stuff all the time that he can choke on. I know he does not do it purposely, but it freaks me out.

    Hopefully your glass of wine can calm you down ;)

  • This stuff scares me to death.  You did a great job!  Now that Aly is crawling around trying to get things I keep telling dh we need to keep everything picked up.  Like no leaving anything little down.  So far he doesn't get it but I'm sure after telling him your story he'll think twice about what he leaves around.  It seems to always be a real event that will get him to listen to me on this stuff.
