I yelled for my hubby and all he did was say, "She'll be fine...she'll get it up on her own." I said she wasn't getting it up. I ran into the computer room with her and thank the Lord, I was able to get to YT quickly and the Heimlich instructions. I did as it said to do, and it worked! Thank you YT! OMGosh...I could have lost her. Her little body was shaking so bad from her head to her butt and she was making these horrid sounds, not able to breath.
I was very stupid not to have printed the Heimlich info, and since this happened, I printed it and have it hanging right here off my bulletin board. I urge all of you do to the same, if you haven't already. It worked out getting to YT quickly and able to find what I was looking for quickly, but there are times my computer is very sluggish. I believe it was help from above.
THANK YOU YT! You helped me save my baby's life! She seems very tired out since this incident and I think her poor little throat is sore, as when she swallows, she kind of lunges her head forward, like it hurts. I'm so thankful she is still with me! Oh gosh...what a scare! | I'm glad everything turned out ok |
