Sadie is now 10 months old...and with that we got the hugest scare of our lives. The three of us were driving home from the Damien fundraiser car wash (for Eddie K) and going to make a stop at Sam's Club to buy Sadie's soy formula, when all of a sudden we both heard a strange noise coming from the back seat. We turned, and Sadie seemed to be CHOKING. The whole incident is quite a blur because it all happened so fast. But basically Vail pulled over, and as he was pulling over I jumped into the back and took her out of her car seat. As I was taking her out, I could see her hair pin in her mouth so I pulled it out, and as I did that she simultaneously vomited. I'm actually not sure if she really was choking, or she was gagging from the pin hitting her throat, but either way.....it's a lesson learned (that should have been avoided) but will never happen again. RULE #1 for riding in the car: NO eating or playing with any small objects (or having any objects that are accessible to baby)! Needless to say, we skipped the trip to Sam's and went straight home to clean up / change clothes. On the drive home, Sadie was still sobbing a bit and while I was telling her "mommy shouldn't leave the pin in your hair, mommy won't do that anymore," she kept turning her head side to side saying "no, no, no, no"....so hopefully she's learned her lesson as well :]
That is a scare! Just don't give her a hot dog...a top choking item for children. The other scare is when your child puts something up their nose like a button.
ReplyDeleteOh boy...such worrisome things to look forward to. I think we can avoid the hot dog for awhile....the button, on the other hand I'm not too sure...hopefully for awhile the only thing she sticks up her nose will be her finger, LOL!
ReplyDeleteSadie has such a cute smile. Another choke item is ice. That's what Ataboy choked on when he was a baby. He too was teething so he loved to chew on ice. I just grabbed him by the legs-flipped him upside down and whacked his back and out came the ice. Kids can choke on anything...just keep your eyes and ears open.....she'll just be fine.....she's soooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteSadie LOVES when her grandpa gives her ice....I better give him a head's up!
