Blue Baby

Had a very frightening moment last night, when Ryan choked! We were eating tea when he started getting grissly, so being nearly finished i sat him on my lap and gave him a couple of peas. He soon started choking, one of those silent chokes. I tipped him over and started firmly patting his back, but it didn't help and he soon started turning blue (I can't believe how quick he started turning blue, which of course just adds to the panic inside). Somehow outwardly i was able to keep composure though and as the back thumping wasn't working and he was getting bluer and going limp, eyes starting to roll back i started the baby version of hiemlich, which oh so thankfully worked.
So hugest thanks to God for the safety of my baby and super yay to the midwife who made us watch the baby first aid video before we were able to leave the hospital!
