Oral Fixations...

I would have thought I was well passed the age where I have to CONSTANTLY say, "Out of your mouth!" BUT, as usual I thought wrong! Madison STILL puts EVERYTHING in her mouth! I repeat this phrase at least a million times a day... (Just heard Jason tell her to take something out of her mouth YET again!)

Last night I was snuggled in with my Kindle, exhausted from a busy day... Madison was standing next to me, getting ready to ask something when she started to gag! I shot up, grabbed her, beat patted her back for what felt like an eternity as she choked and gagged! Finally I hear a whoosh as her airway cleared! The BEST sound ever by the way!!!

In between her sobs, I was able to decipher that she had choked on and swallowed  a marble from our child loved mom hated marble run (there are just SO many pieces)... I called the doc just to be sure that it would pass and not need to be seen, but AGAIN I thought wrong, so off to the ER we go...

Thankfully they were fast and she only freaked when she had to take her clothes off (which I find interesting because our house is typically clothing optional)! She was still as a statue during her x-rays and all airways seemed to be clear (thank God!!)

Interestingly enough, the marble could not be seen in the X-ray, BUT.... SURPRISE there were 2 other foreign objects in her belly... One looked like a coin the other looked like it may be one of my necklaces... I was horrified! Embarrassed does not even begin to describe. The doc asked if I fed her and of course she says NO! (Way to throw mom under the bus kiddo)

So today I had hoped the trip to the hospital would have scared her, but nope I thought yet again... I am already up to telling her to get stuff out of her mouth at least 100 times already and its only 10:16! Let's just say I think she may be a 3 year old human trash can!!!
