That had to be terrifying for you. I'm so glad she is okay.

(((Razzies)))

I would have FA-REAKED!

AJ's MOM

Poor Razzies.

Unfortunately, I've learned from personal experience that I have a tendency to freeze sometimes in situations like that.

I'm glad you were able to quickly spring into action and help your DD.

Great Job!!! Was Vrazz flipped out about it?

I can remember choking (frequently) as a kid, and My dad would yank me up and smack my back, and flip me upside down. For me it was no biggie, but my mom was always really cranky after. Of course I was such a spazz, I didn't get why.

My DD followed those footsteps, and I don't care how many people you do the it on, or how many times you teach it, it is WAAAAYYYY different when it's your own kid.

(((Razzie Family)))

Vrazz was flipped out for about 10 minutes. Then she was quiet for about half an hour. (Put on her favorite movie and we all (including neighbor) sat around petting her hair and telling her jokes and playing with her dolls. She was her usual self in no time, she's so amazing.

I will definitely be hearing about the time I "roughed her up" for not chewing bacon for the rest of my life.

Wow! Great job, Jrazz! I'm so glad she is okay.

Have you remembered to breathe yet?

Great job!! You save her, well, you know!

(((Jrazz & Vrazz)))

So glad she's ok!!!

OMG! How terrifying! (((((((big huge WT hugs)))))))

..great job..you saved the day and the life in a crisis ..

..this event will be re-told 100 times in your family... a happy memory ending with a life lesson on "BACON_SAFETY" and the hazards of putting long, slippery, juicy , succulent, delicious strips of bacon in one's mouth all at once..

..yes. we love our bacon.. but also be aware that danger lurks in every mouth-watering slice...

MmMmMmmmmmmm.. bacon..

..so glad for the happy ending with your DD.

I think it's time the rest of the family starts eating bacon cooked right! (you & I share the preference for crispy bacon )

Holy crap, your story made my adrenaline pump just reading it. How incredibly scary!! When my kids were small...hell, even now...I was very anxious about them choking ("...to death" is the unspoken part). Probably influenced by witnessing a friend go blue in the cafeteria in college. Laughing and eating, bad combination.

You DID IT!! You knew what you needed to do, you were trained, and you swung into action. You'll likely have some post-traumatic stress but given time it will settle down. Great job, Mama!

Thanks everyone. I haven't completely broken up with bacon - but we're on a break right now.

I know the feeling Razzie. Been there, done that. Its scary.

MIL gave my DD a pizza crust at around 12 months old. (I was in the other room) DD drooled and sucked that thing till it was all soggy and slippery. Slid right down her throat. She couldn't breathe. Started choking and gagging. Panic ensued in the kitchen, I went running. MIL is spazzing out (Dear God woman, you had 6 kids yourself. Get a grip.) I grabbed DD, flipped her over, and did the back blow thing. Pizza crust went flying across the room.

I felt the panic, but also the common sense/get the job done thing.

Glad y'all are ok.

((((Jrazz & Vrazz))))

I am so thankful she is ok.

(((Razz Fam)))

Good job Jrazz

And the rest is history. I'm so grateful for First Aid/CPR training, and the movie Groundhog Day.

Should be mandatory before leaving hospital for all new parents. Well First Aid/CPR, not necessarily the movie!

My sister had to do the HM on my dd when she was 2. She choked on a piece of bread dip on Xmas Eve!

(((J and V Razzie)))

How terrifying! Thank God you were there and knew what to do!

(I also enjoy my bacon crispy, crumbly, and practically burnt)

Also you should know, you will not be thanked for your heroics. However, you will hear several times years from now "Remember that time you didn't cook the bacon well enough and I almost died?"

Oh yes!

How scary... I'm hyperventilating in your honor right now!

SO GLAD everything is okay!

(((((Razzies)))))

Glad everyone is OK over there.

Been close to that point myself a couple times...my sons is, and always has been a chipmunk-mouth-stuffer with food. Pizza, cake, whatever. He will just cram his mouth with food before he chews and swallows, and there has been more than a few times a had to give him a well-placed *thump* on the back to loosen some of that stuff up. He's gotten better, but he still crammed an entire large piece of chocolate brownie in his mouth a few months ago.

OMG with V we have always had to tell her "Do the chew!!" She hears it once a day at least.

In fairness, I'm not a terribly effective chewer myself(much too busy for that) but she always made me crazy with her one-chew-and-swallow antics.

To this day I cut her apples and carrots paper thin. I still chop up chicken nuggets as well. I just didn't think that bacon would betray me like this. Now that V is better, I'm just left with some simmering resentment at my most beloved of all pork products.
