After all the birthday fun and toys we were downstairs watching The Wiggles with the girls. We let the girls walk around and play, while Kaikai was sitting on me and Tonia was getting some ice cream for the girls, I heard Kalea fall and start to cry. This is not an uncommon sound in our house, but I only heard a first cry, I never heard the inhale for another cry but it didn't come. I got up to see what was wrong, she was still trying to cry but couldn't breathe...she was choking.
Her lips started to turn blue and she lost consciousness for a few seconds. I tried to slap her back and dislodge the object, then my mom came down and grabbed Kalea and pressed her on the edge of the couch. Luckily, she was able to get Kalea breathing again after the piece of popcorn was forced from her throat.
She was crying and it was the greatest sound in the world. After a few minutes of watching her closely to make sure she seemed alright, we took her to the doctor just to make sure she was okay. The doctor checked her out and let us know that she was fine.
It was a horrifying experience for her and for us. Thankfully, Kalea was safe and other than a few more gray hairs on my head, we were safe too. We are definitely blessed for being healthy and safe.
I am extremely happy that she is ok. glad you & your mom did not panic...and did the things you had to do. Tell Kalea NO MORE POPCORN for a while.
ReplyDeleteI'm soo glad your mom was able to handle the situation and to know everything is okay.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all will never have to experience anything like this again.
Take care and keep safe.
Love you all!
