Yesterday I was changing Cameron in the living room. There were toys and other kid stuff all over the room. Big surprise. I noticed Jake's CTR ring on the floor. Cameron started going for it and I picked it up. "Jake! Come get this ring and put it in a safe place!" Then guess where I put it? Right back on the floor. After the diaper switch I plop in front of the computer to waste time. Then I hear Cameron start hacking. I run off to him. He's breathing but seems like he wants to throw up. About two weeks ago he started swallowing a penny so I was pretty sure he had swallowed something. I start freaking out. Scott comes to help. He's spitting up and hacking, breathing, but hacking and crying. He wants to get it out. We called 911. We didn't know what to do. We didn't know what was in there. The dispatcher helped us and said he was sending an ambulance. He said to hot hit him on the back. Too late. Already did that. I tried to fish whatever it was out of his throat with no success. Probably just pushed it in further. We still didn't know what it was. After about 3 minutes of racing hearts and me shouting to Cameron, "C'mon! C'mon!" out it came. A CTR ring!!! The 911 dispatcher kept us on the phone and said that the ambulance would still come. They did and all was well. But, oh my goodness! It makes me sick just thinking about it. What could've happened! What I almost made happen. I said many silent prayers thanking Heavenly Father for letting Cameron stay with us. Anyway, watch what's on your floors. We will, from now on.

Kathy, that is scary!! A kid choking.... At first, I thought you were going to tell us about finding the CTR ring in his diaper droppings, but this was worse! Anyway, glad it all turned out ok. Cameron's picture is WAY cute! Sorry about your unfortunate event.

That is an awful story- I feel so bad for Cameron! And you! Don't want anything to happen to that round noggin.
It's sure hard to keep stuff like that off the floors with other kids running around. I banned all of Eric's legos into the cold dark storage room...just easier than vacuuming everyday. (Is once every two weeks acceptable?)
ANd your title was funny.
Goodness, Kathy - kids are so crazy about putting things into their mouths. It is scary. Nothing can be trusted on a floor - and with other kids (and moms) around to leave stuff - Well, thank goodness he's ok. We love you. And yes, such a cuted head and fact!!
Sorry about that double click there!! don't read it twice, not worth it.
