Just had to do the heimlich on Will

[cbwm1]

My husband is an amazing guy but holy fuck I don't understand why he can't remember to cut up fucking grapes for Will.

I'm trying not to punch him in the nuts right now.

ETA - Will is fine. I'm still shaking 15 minutes later, and not talking to DH for fear of what I might say.

[marcyiam]

How scary, I'm so sorry!

(and I need to show this to my husband - he doesn't always remember, either).

[Jermys]

Yargh. I hate when they choke. Freddie crammed too much bacon in his mouth a few weekends ago and choked on it and it freaked me out so much.

Well, bacon

[luckyval]

Holy shit! I'm glad he's ok!

I'm not certain I'd remember what to do in the moment.

Oh my god. That must have been terrifying.

[Deleted]

OMG! How scary. I don't even know how to do that. I really need to take some courses.

[shoeless]

OMG I am so very sorry! How scary. I am impressed by your ability to keep a cool head in an emergency situation. I wouldn't blame you for walking out of the house after the kids are in bed and heading out to the bar/mall/yoga/whatever until you stop shaking. (I'd be shaking for HOURS I'm sure).

DH was just slapping him on the back, because he was panicking. I shoved him out of the way, grabbed the kid and threw him over my knee and have him a few whacks.

I'm not sure how I remembered.

Oh my God! Quick thinking! So glad he's okay. Do you think your husband will remember to cut up the grapes now?

[alzi]

Holy crap I'm glad he is ok and you are good under pressure!!

Here's the kicker - this is the second or third time this has happened.

/sigh

He really is a great guy. But come on, man!

how scary!! I'm so glad that he's OK!

I've been through the choking thing once or twice - it's scary!

[sewpinkgal]

So scary! Good job keeping a cool head though and getting the job done.

[cville]

I think a nut punch wouldn't be totally out of line. Good quick action on your part.

[snickers]

Good job mama, sorry it had to come to that though

[Deleted]

Gahd, I hate that. DS was a choker. That was some scary shit. And yes, my H was of zero help. Like ever.

This was my oldest DD, TWICE!!  I no longer serve just barely cooked bacon (and she is 18 now, but hell no!!) like she likes.  Only crispy, with no fat. 

OP, I am glad you were there and it is scary as crud.  I am really good at reacting and doing the right thing in the moment, but once it is over, I get very shaky and teary.  Take a bath, have a drink, sit in a dark room, whatever to calm those nerves.

Im relieved to hear he is ok. Well done, mama!

Have a glass of wine.

Or a shot of tequila. lol

[tdk2]

OMG freaky.great job with your reaction!


How old is will again? I get up Dh all the torn about not cutting cherry tomatoes and would like to give an example, if you don't mind

[underwaterrhymes]

Wow, quick thinking. That's so scary! I'm on board with some nut punching.

[eb777888]

OMG! How scary!

H is the SAME way. He never cuts David's food small enough. I think he thinks I hover too much but JFC, the kid does not chew!

[lilibet]

How scary, I'm glad he's ok! I'm not sure I could buy grapes again....

Both!

So scary!  Glad W's ok.  I'd be ready to kill H, after I stopped freaking out.

I couldn't blame him.  I frequently shove too much bacon in my face, only apparently I'm a much better chewer than he is.

[kdmac]

Holy shit how scary! Glad he is ok, may I suggest a drink or six to calm your nerves?

I'm taking care of the drink thing. No worries about that.

[murdock]

Oh, damn. Glad he's ok!
