my baby was choking!!

[Cumberland]

We were at a residency interview dinner tonight, and DH was chatting up some potenials while DD was chewing on mini pickle that DH had told me twice not to give her. All of a sudden she started making strange gurgling noises- it took me a minute to realize what was happening. The old ER nurse in me took over and Heimlich'ed it out of her-a big chunk of pickle! It was been like an hour and I am still shaking. It was so scary and horrible. I think I am for the most part a pretty laid back mom but that is all about to change- anal and overbearing are going to be in my future after this episode.

OMG, SueAnne!!! I'm glad to hear Madison is fine. That is so scary!!!

Oh my gosh, that's so scary! Thank goodness she is ok!

I'm so glad she's ok! Try try try not to beat yourself up over it. I think every mom is famous for doing that, though, myself included!

Phew!
Don't be too hard on yourself. She's ok and that's why they have a gag reflex. Next time you'll be putting that pickle through the blender.

How scary! I'm so glad to hear everything is OK!

Oh goodness! I confess, I "choked" one of my babysitting charges on a cheerio! Good thing I'd had that CPR/first responder class. Glad everything is all right now!

Glad that everything is OK- that exact same scenario happened while a friend and I were out for lunch- except that it was a mushroom.

My friend decided then and there that Zach could have solid food on prom night and no sooner!!!

(luckily that didn't hold true!)
