So today.. I had lots and lots of laundry to put away. Like for a "preview" .. my kids had ALMOST no PANTS in their drawers.. and when they do, you can't close the drawers. That'll tell you how much I had to put away. Anyway, I was putting away clothes in Delaney & Addy's room. Keep seeing Addy.. WHO I HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON 24/7! Within the 3-4 minutes I didn't have my eye on her, she wobbles into her room as I'm heading out - she has an open tube of toothpaste, MAJOR DROOL/FOAM/SALIVA..etc coming down her chin and she appears to be struggling to breath. I of course panic. I flip her upside down, put my finger down her throat to see if there is something in there.. flip her back over, she still seems to have an issue breathing. I have her upside down across my forearm and I run downstairs.. at the bottom of the stairs, same thing, I grab paper towels to take the visible toothpaste out of her mouth, as I'm "sweeping" with the paper towel, she's gagging .. trying to vomit, I get some toothpaste and notice blood and mucus on the paper towel. I yell to Keelyn to call 911, then I just grab the phone and call. As I'm on the phone I realize "WHERE IS THE F#*&()%ING CAP ?!?!?!?" I scream up to the girls to find the cap. I have no idea what it looks like..size etc. I assume THAT is what she is choking on! After the girls run down with the cap and Adyson seems to be responding and I'm thinking.. maybe I didn't need to call.. Jack comes back from Dunkin Donuts. OH BOY, the second he pulls in .. the paramedics pull in.. he's gets out of his car as I open the door, he's like "8 SOUHEGAN???" the paramedic was like "yes, there's a choking baby?" Jack looks at me, now, I'm feeling a little bad, because I KNOW there is no cap in her airway, and there are now an ambulance, police cars, and aux. fire fighters all running to my door! AND COLLEEN!!! She was driving by the end of the street and saw all the commotion and came RUNNING! After checking little Addy out and calling poison control, she was happy to learn she could NOW have her long awaited morning bottle (I guess the milk absorbs the fluoride - which we were thinking she probably got maybe a tablespoon??? - I still have no clue) anyway... needless to say, we had quite a dramatic morning. Poor little Addy. That kid needs to live in a STRAIGHT JACKET!!!!!
I'm totally jonesing for popcorn.. so I wanted to post some photo's from Halloween...
Here is Jack with our old neighbor Ann (I think she loves having us come visit at Halloween since her kids are all grown up now!!) :-) We love ya Ann! Thanks for the invite and help!
Ryley was Hannah Montana, Keelyn was LOLA - Hannah Montana's wacky friend, Delaney and Addy were Minnie and Mickey!
What a LIFE.. sit back, eat Kit Kats.. and be pulled in a wagon!!!
How sweet is this???
Jack as the HEADLESS HORSEMAN
