I never mentioned choking!!!!! Please, please if you have a child learn how to deal with a choking emergency. I'll never forget when my son was two and choked on a lifesaver. His little lips turned blue and he almost passed out. It was the scariest thing ever. (also when I got my first grey hair.)
Ok now to the funny story. When David was 3 and Sara was two, he was obsessed with the show Cops. As soon as the theme song started he was in his glory. So one day he decided to play cops with his sister. I was in the kitchen doing dishes. The next thing I know he comes out and says, ummm Mommy I was checking Sara's mouth and she swallowed a screwdriver. I begin to laugh and say, David she couldn't swallow a screwdriver. He then proceeds to show me the screwdriver bits of his father's and one is missing!!!! I begin to panic and he then changes his mind and says, well maybe she didn't.
So here I am in the ER with Sara saying, she may or may not have eaten a screwdriver bit. After a few hours and x-ray she did in fact have it in her belly. (See the x-ray pic at the top.) We had to check her poop for three days before said screwdriver bit was retrieved. And you can call me nasty, but I sanitized it and put it back in the set. (Hey, what if I were to need it?)
So there it is another story of why my kids are trying to kill me. Watch out everyone kids will swallow anything!!!!!
