We had a scare last night :(

[Alexas Mommy]

Last night Alexa was playing with her slippers, and somehow came across a piece of plastic and put it in her mouth, we noticed her chewing on something, but we couldn't see anything in her mouth, well I put her down to play and gave her her sippy cup and she started coughing and going on then stopped and OH jumped right out of his chair and picked her up, she was trying to breathe, but she couldn't I was so scared, she started turning blue. Luckily OH has first aid and cpr training and turned her slightly upside down on an angle and slapped her back and she started crying. It was the most scary thing ever. She must have ripped her slipper apart somehow and in must have gone down with the water in her sippy cup, and blocked off her airway. A few minutes before that I had put her in her crib for a nap (this was after we saw her chewing, but found nothing in her mouth) and OH said "I don't think she wants a nap" and I went in and brought her out to the living room with us. I just can't imagine, and don't want to imagine what would have happened if I didn't bring her back into the room with us.

Anyway, after we got her breathing again, we decided to take her to the childrens hospital to double check that she was okay. Oh, I should mention it was storming really bad out, and the roads were very snowy and slippery. She was checked by the doctor and she was okay Thank God!! I am soo cautious now because you never know what a baby can get into... A pair of slippers can even be dangerous.

All the nurses were in love with her, one said seeing herlaugh and smile made her night Oh, and the baby hospital gowns they have are adorable, I took a pic

sorry for writing a book
Oh, and needless to say, i am getting my first aid/cpr training very soon.

Aw, so glad she is ok! I panicked the other week when Amy swallowed something, but she did not go blue or anything like that thankfully.

Alexa has a lovely smile! x

Aww poor princess!!!! I'm so glad to hear she's fine. I am so getting cpr & first aid classes... ! Problem with me though, I can't stay calm.

Good idea with the First Aid/CPR training!! I highly recommend it to EVERYONE because you never know when it'll come in handy.. I find it's ALWAYS coming into use for me at work (both at my summer job at a camp & at McDonald's, lol) but also when out in public I always know what to do at the mall when someone needs it, etc. It feels good to be able to help people

I'd be terrified to do CPR on an infant.. well, first aid in general, on an infant to be honest.. but I hope if it comes down to it I can.

Glad she's alright & that you guys were okay driving in the nasty weather!!

It was part of the padding for the bottom of the slipper if you get what I mean... In a pair of infant slippers? I would have never guessed... But from now on all her toys and clothes will be getting checked over...
