Barrettes and the ER
So this morning I dropped Joey and my sister DeAnna off on a training run...18 miles. Kaitlyn and I were headed home and all of sudden Kate is choking on something. I quickly looked for a place to pull over pulled into what happened to be Alta View Hospital. Yanked Kate out of her car seat, stuck my finger in there to try and get the foreign object out, saw it (a barrette she had pulled out of her hair), but couldn't get it...now I'm beginning to freak out. Ran Kaitlyn in the ER still freaking out. They took her right in, told them what happened. She was no longer choking so they assumed she had swallowed it and it was either in the esophagus or in the stomach. Sure enough they took an x-ray and voila....

oh, poor kid, glad she is okay. good luck with the passage...
Spencer told me the story! How traumatic! Amy, looks like you handled things amazingly! Good luck Kaitlyn!
Amy, I am amazed at how you handled it all. I can't even imagine how scary that must have been in the car hearing her choke. The x-ray is kind of cute, though. It's fun to see her little body and the barrett there in the middle of everything. Not a fun way to get it there, though. We'll all be waiting to hear as soon as you find it again!
Have fun fishing for it! I am extremely surprised that we haven't had any experiences like that at our house yet... knock on wood. Is Joey training for a marathon? I can't imagine any other reason why one would run 18 miles. It was fun to see pics of your fam. Kaitlyn is pretty cute, it's a good thing she gets her looks from Amy.
What a tender little mercy from Heavenly Father that you were right there at a hospital! Hope all turns out well.
Way cool x-ray. You can see a lot! Liver, stomach (of course), heart, lungs. Anyway, that's really sad!
Love you all!
BAM
P.S. I love x-rays.
