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.
Re: Gwen choked on a dime.
I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.
And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!
Oh how scary.
I am SO glad that she is okay!!
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!

Wow- way to keep cool under pressure, mama! I am so sorry- how scary. I am glad she is okay.
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
