Just called an ambulance

Well, one of my worst nightmares just came true. While eating his snack, Emmett choked on a piece of watermelon and couldn't breathe. He turned blue and kept trying to cry, but couldn't.

We finally got it dislodged before the ambulance came, but then he started throwing up and was choking again.

By the time they got here, Em was ok, and they said his lungs sounded clear. He's already back to his old self but we have to watch him or coughing or fever.

I have never been so afraid in my life. Looking at his blue face, I seriously thought he was going to die. It felt like it took 20 min for the ambulance to get here, but really I was only on the phone for 4 min.

Ugh, I can't seem to stop crying. From now on, he gets nothing but microscopic pieces.

Re: Just called an ambulance

  • That's so scary! I'm so sorry you went through that. Ds2 puts so much stuff in his mouth these days, I'll be watching him closely.

  • So glad he's ok. How terrifying! Dd shovels food into her mouth and I'm always freaked out that she's going to choke.

  • That must have been so scary. Glad he's ok. I will be more cautious.

     

  • Yeah, I can't help but feel like it's my fault. I've become really lax about ow big of pieces I give him. We always laugh about how much he shoves in his mouth and joke that he is going to choke one day. He loves chewing on huge pieces of food, so I've started cutting everything bigger and bigger.

    That's definitely not on you, LO's are curious about everything at this age, including how much they can fit in their mouths. Glad he's ok! You did the right thing by calling 911.

  • How terrifying!  So glad he is ok!  Please don't blame yourself.  My LO is always shoving handfuls of food in her mouth and sometimes refuses to eat smaller pieces so I have been giving her larger pieces too.
  • Ugh, that's so scary! I am so sorry this happened to you. DS loves to shove all the food in his mouth too and I have become kind of lax. Like running to the bathroom while he's eating. No more. So scary.

  • I'm so sorry that happened. I know exactly how your feel as DD1 choked on a cuties orange slice when she was 1. With complete airway occlusion. It was the scariest moment in my life and I still think about it at night...she is 4 now and People make comments about how I cut up their food. I give zero fucks. Bc I never ever want to feel that panic again in my life.

  • I seriously had tears in my eyes while reading this. So sorry that you all had to experience that, thank God he is ok.
  • Oh my god, I am so sorry you and E went thru that! I was on the verge of tears myself as I read this, but I am so happy that he is back to himself.

    I am also guilty of letting DS put too much in his mouth at once. That will change now.

  • Thanks everyone for all the kind words and encouragement. After a restless night, I was still crying and shook up this morning. However, once my students came and I was busy, I started to feel better. I keep hugging Em over and over and he's looking at me like, "What's your deal mom?"

    @SaguaroBlossmom‌, how scary with your DD1. I totally get what you mean about still thinking about it sometimes. I can't imagine ever getting that picture out of my mind's eye. When you see your child helpless like that, it burns a horrible picture into your memory.
