    You handled it perfectly. I have taken the CPR/First Aid courses numerous times since I worked in child care. I should keep up on it, but I haven't.
    I always wonder how I would handle a situation like that. I mean, I know (in my head) what to do. But to actually have to put it to action. That's so scary.

    I am so glad all is well.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Thanks everyone

    yeah I think adrenaline just took over and told our brains there was no time for panicking.

    The hospital where Hannah was born gave us the option to watch an infant crp/first aid video and I'm glad that we decided to watch it but I really need to get into a class. I think the YMCA does classes. need to check that out.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Yes, on an adult, the Heimlich maneuver is recommended, but with a baby, that's not really possible or healthy!

    Now Miss Hannah, chew, baby! Crunch those fishies up before they get to be swallowed, okay?

    Aww! I'm glad she's ok!! And I'm very glad you stayed calm, because when people panic, it only makes the situation way worse. But I'm very glad she's ok

    Years ago I was chewing a Twizzler when suddenly a piece lodged in my throat. My husband and son were watching TV and saw me choking but did nothing. It wasn't until I dropped to my knees on the floor and they saw my color change that they sprang into action. After I got my breath and calmed down, I yelled "What does it take to get you guys to help me?!" They said "We honestly thought you were just sort of coughing at first and then joking around!" I can tell you that, as an adult, that was one scary moment, so for a toddler it must have been doubly so. If you're not breathing, you're dying. I'm so glad that Hannah came through unscathed and you've really made me think that I need to learn CPR. (((HUGS))) to you and very gentle (((HUGS))) to Hannah.
    Blessings,
    Mary
