Mine was last night. Lily and Max were working on their chewies. She must have gotten a piece of it stuck in her throat because all of a sudden I look at her and she's frozen stiff and choking. I pick her up and she starts to squeal in panic after trying to cough it up doesn't work. I gave her back blows, I turned her over like an infant in attempt to do the heimlich. Her gums weren't as pink as they could be...I did a finger sweep a couple of times but didn't feel anything. I got desperate in a panic and gave her some rescue breaths. The whole time I could feel her little heart racing away so I figured she was ok. Between all the things I tried or her trying to cough it up, it got dislodged.
Let me tell you.....I resuscitate infants all the time at work but I've never felt the panic that I experienced last night! |
