Blue baby

I have never seen any one really turn blue before but tonight I did.
My side of the family got together at my sister Teri's to work on our family service project for Christmas.  Teri served us dinner.  Loren was feeding Hope and letting her eat off of his plate.  She started eating cabbage salad and I told Loren not to let her because she doesn't have teeth to chew it.  Within seconds she was choking and turning blue.  I was so glad that I knew what to do. Who would have guessed that learning things from working at Childcare centers would actually come in handy at home.  I got her breathing again, and the scare was over.  However, I was glad that if I couldn't help her that my sister Teri could. She is a nurse and knows everything.  Okay, not everything, but a lot more than I do about emergencies.
Hope is fine!!!

Wow! How Scary! I remember when Jake was one and got a piece of licorice stuck in his throat at Matt & Mindy's. Matt grabbed him and started whacking him on the back. I was scared to death! So glad Hope is o.k.!
