G choked at lunch today

JenJar · December 2011

So scary! I think spaghetti-o's are gross...they smell awful and taste nasty, but DH bought a can a while back for Gavin and he thought they were the greatest thing ever, so he gets some occasionally. That's what he wanted today. So while we're sitting at the table, I heard him make a weird noise, and I looked up from my lunch and he's sitting them with this panicked look on his face and his mouth wide open, like he does when he takes a bite of something that's too hot and he freaks out a little. I told him to just spit it out, and then he gagged and I realized that it wasn't just hot. As soon as I jumped up, he coughed out a meatball on him own and started crying. I felt horrible, and my heart was racing! No more spaghetti-o's with meatballs in this house!

Oh my gosh, that's one of my biggest fears! I'm so glad he's okay.

Oh my goodness! So scary! I know I know what to do, but in the actual situation, I totally freak. DD started to choke on a sticker that Santa gave her. We were at the mall and when I put her in her seat, she started to gag and threw up phlegm and a sticker. It was as I was pulling her back out of her seat to do the Heimlich (sp?) and I was so relieved.
