I know this is not the same circumstance, but when my 18 month old son was choking and turning blue, we ran outside to the front lawn for rescue to come. He had expelled the the hot dog, which was cut in half, but still did it. The police and rescue wanted us to go to the hospital, and I almost did, but then I remembered I had a 3 month old sleeping upstairs. I still think about that after 26 years, and can’t believe I even forgot her at that time. That is probably the worst thing that I ever had in my life. A child choking, and a child I might have left behind. You never forget. By the way, we dislogded the hot dog, and he was running around the front lawn when they arrived. It is a day I will never forget.
I’m glad you told your story. There is not one person on this thread that hasn’t made a mistake with their child—at least one. If they say “no”, they are liars. What a bunch of judgmental jerks.
