The dad panicked and tried to make her throw up by shoving his finger down her throat. When she can’t, he tried to shake her upside down (yup, guys do the craziest things when they panic. Moms think clearer even if they tend to scream a lot).
Dad didn’t know if he should get angry at them. He turned to Nicole (the younger one) and yelled at her to open her mouth…
Inside her mouth is a 25 centavo coin, too!
So for the following days, Paulie has to use the training potty, so we can see if the coin made it to the other end. Dad was kidding Paulie (who was very worried with that coin inside her intestines) that if that 25 centavo coin would turn into a five peso coin, he will be feeding her more 25 centavo coins.
omg, thats scary! i have watched it in news too, your kid is lucky, the child on the news died after swallowing a coin! 🙁
Nothing of the sort has happened yet to my four children (God forbid!) but I think that would be scary too. BUt you're right, panicking will not do any help and it's best to bring your child immediately to the doctor.
What an experience! Buti na lang you didn't panic and you brought her to the ER agad.
It must have given everyone a fright back then. But looking back, it's kinda amusing how hubby reacted (shaking upside down and poking fingers into the mouth) then. Well, that reminds me to inform everyone in the house about first aid procedures.
that's why we always put all things small away from my youngest. she hasn't swallowed a coin yet but she already ate other things like crayons (good thing it's non toxic), etc. moms are really better when it comes to handling kids, right? 😛
This is really scary, i hope this will not happen to my son. thanks for the advice anyway. 🙂
At the time, I'm sure your hubby was also panicky which is why he shook your girl. hehe. But it's good that nothing worse happened. The kids put into their mouths nga naman! 🙂
Oh!!! that scary, normally shoving our fingers to the throat when our kids swallowed something and we them to vomit what he'she swallowe, we did it also to my son when we thought he swallowed a big part of the liver he was eating but only to found out later he was convulsing. truly when you're in panic you tend to do crazy things..visiting from ComEx Nov6
i couldn't help but comment here, sis. this is scary and i never want my son to experience this, too. you must have really gotten panicky and worried, too. thanks for the advice. i am always in close watch with my little boy especially when he's holding something because i'm also afraid that he might swallow it. glad your daughter was safe. 🙂
