Hello, Classmates!!
I am a 25 years old mom of a 5 years old child.
Sometimes accidents happen and this Saturday wasn't an exception.
My husband, my son and I went to have breakfast at the Hometown Buffet. I always help my son to get his food first and this time he chose a chicken leg and vegetables, then we went to sit down.
After that, I went to get my food. When I came back my son's face was red and he was making a lot of noise with his throat, and I saw that he was choking.
I was so scared and I looked around to see if somebody could help but nobody did anything.
I ran to the restroom and I bent my son over, then, I just hit my son's back but it didn't work. It only got worse, his face was purple!!! So, I told my husband, "Let's go to Children’s Hospital!"
Once we were at the hospital, the doctor took my son to the x-ray room and took some pics, of his throat, chest and stomach to see what kind of thing was stuck in there.
Obviously, my son, my husband and I were scared. Thank God everything was OK, but my son had to stay in the hospital 3 more days because his throat was hurt. I hope the doctor will discharge my son tomorrow and he will be at home soon.
Now, I'm writing from my brother's laptop at the hospital. Please excuse me, teacher. I don't think that I can go to school this week I have to take care of my son and I have the flu, also.
I will read the book to stay up to date.
Please, moms be careful with your children!!
