E choked on an apple piece at dinner time. I gave her back blows and was calling 911 when she said something and i thought she was fine. But I never found the apple and later heard what sounded like raspy breathing. All the while, she's been happy and active.

I followed my gut and brought her in. The PA here heard coarse breathing, and we're still waiting to hear whether they can see it on the X-ray, in which case they'll call he pediatric surgeon to get it out.

I know things could be much worse, but I'm terrified.

Please pray that it's clear and we can go home.

I need to have a good cry but am waiting until we get home.

*** UPDATE ***

Thank you all so much. I'm so relieved and overwhelmed.

The first set of x-rays were fuzzy, so they did a second, which they found to be clear. They assured me she's safe and instructed me to follow up with her pedi tomorrow so someone can listen to her lungs again. I might sleep on her floor so I can listen to her breathe.

Thank you again for the prayers and positive thoughts. I've never been so scared in all my life. I'm embarrassed I went for back blows instead of the Heimlich you're supposed to do on a toddler. I guess I still think of her as a baby.

The whole thing is just so upsetting. Even though she was acting fine at the hospital, and I know the procedure would have been easy and not very risky, I couldn't /can't help but think of what could have happened. I felt like I couldn't move fast enough to unbuckle her from the high chair. Too many buckles for a moment like that. So many times, she's coughed a little while eating and I've asked, "Are you okay?" only to have her giggle and say, "Yeeeaaah." And tonight, she was silent, and her eyes were open so wide. I was so scared.

Thinking good thoughts.

Not the same, but the same thing happened to my dog. She needed surgery to pull it out, but it was fairly easy recovery. Basically they grabbed it and pulled it out through her mouth from her esophagus.
