He just scared the absolute hell out of me!!!

OMG!!! Oliver was just bouncing away merrily in his jumperoo with a huge smile on his face. He is recovering from a cold at the moment and is at that stage when it just gets you in the morning - sort of gets stuck at the back of the throat.
Anyway, he's giggling away and I'm filming him being so happy. All of a sudden, he coughs, then stops everything. He stares at me, then starts going purple round the lips!! This all happened sooooo quickly!! He obviously has a great lump of snotty stuff stuck in his throat. So me being the panic merchant I am, I flew across the room and whipped him out of his jumperoo so bloody fast. I think a mixture of that and being thrown in the air at high speed, dislodged the snot and hey presto, he coughs it up and it sprays down my front. Mmm nice, green snotty stuff on new top!! He stared at me for a couple of seconds, took a great big breath, then started laughing!! This all happened in a matter of seconds - talk about keping me on my toes!! Scared the hebe-gebes out of mummy!!!

Tristan has a cold at the moment as well (has lasted about three weeks!!) and he occasionally chokes on mucus when it goes down his throat (as they don't know how to snort it out of their noses). It is terrifying!!! I have this squeezer device that you can get to suction it out of their noses to help them breathe easier. The only problem is, that often you have suctioned it out and their noses fill up again five minutes later.

I hope your little one gets better soon.
