911...

Oh where to start.... First and foremost I feel like the worst mom alive!! I should be more prepared to handle a situation like this. I now think that hospitals should give you a crash coarse on CPR and the Heimlich before they let you go home with the baby.

So here is the story...

Monday afternoon the girls and I were in the office downstairs. I was on the computer and the girls were playing in Olivia's princess tent right next to me. I was under the assumption that they didn't have any toys. I checked on them a few times and about 2 minutes later I heard Amelia gagging. I opened the tent and her face was purple! I immediately picked her up and looked for something in her mouth. There wasn't anything there. She then threw up and still nothing came out. I picked up my phone and dialed 911 because I was so panicked stricken that I had to get help. I put my finger in her mouth to check if it had come up but nothing. Then my finger brushed up against something hard and a little sharp down in her throat. I then knew it was a piece to a frame from Ikea that you hang it with. She wasn't purple anymore but she was in so much pain. She kept throwing up and trying to cry. The Sheriff arrived and I ran to meet him on the front lawn and he quickly turned her upside down and hit her back a few times and it finally shot out of her mouth. I felt so helpless. They checked her oxygen levels and they were fine and she didn't have any serious bleeding so they told me to take her into the Dr's. to get her checked out. I think all three of us were traumatized from this experience but it made me realize how I need to be more prepared and alert. Olivia felt bad about it and I'm hoping that it has made it so she wont give her things anymore. Crossing my fingers. I'm just so glad that everything is okay and that nothing serious happen to her.
