The day started out pretty well, my mom drove into town and actually came to a church service with me. I'm so proud of her, she'd had a rough week for a number of reasons.
Anyhoo, we got back, went to McDonald's, went to the channel to feed ducks and play on the very wet and very snow covered playground. It was pretty fun, and so so beautiful outside. Its just so nice to get sunshine this time of year.
My mom left around 4:40 and my friend Jamie stopped over with her 2 year old, Julian. The boys got into the American cheese slices so I gave them each one, Darby inhaled his so I gave him another one. A minute into it, he was choking, really seriously choking and he looked terrified. First I tried hitting his back and nothing was happening, he couldn't breathe at all. He almost seemed like he was about to throw up, so I pulled him into the bathroom and held him over the toilet continuing to hit his back which really made no sense at all and did nothing for him. I ended up giving him the Heimlich maneuver about three times until a huge hunk of cheese came flying out. It can happen so fast, it just makes me think about all the times I've had my boys sitting down to eat and I've run to another room to do something quick. Thank you God I was able to get it out. I get all torn up thinking about what could have happened tonight. Life is so precious.
