Scary Sunday!

Beau

Yesterday I was just about to take advantage of being home alone, and do the huge pile of school ironing that was multiplying on the lounge chair, when I heard what sounded like my neighbour coughing loudly. A few seconds later I went out to check and there was Beau, lying on her side trying to cough up a bone! I whacked the poor old girl on the back hoping to help her spit it out, and then raced inside and got a wooden spoon and tried to dislodge it! Despite her eyes being glazed and her tongue blue and lolling out of her head, she still managed to bite the spoon into pieces and my hand with it. When the spoon didn't work, I ran to the only neighbours I talk to and of course they weren't home, so I flew next door - barefoot with blood pouring out of my hand - and asked for help thinking someone may be able to hold her up for me while I tired to pry open her mouth. I asked my neighbour to grab someone else and went back but Beau was down and out - not breathing! I tried again to get to the bone but couldn't reach so gave her two quick breaths into her snout and mouth and then poked again with the spoon and dislodged the bone! She coughed and wheezed for what seemed like an eternity and then tried to stand up - breathing but not well, so I though the bone may still be stuck! By this time the neighbour arrived with my other not so helpful neighbour but I sent them home - Chaos and Bedlam I call them so no help at all! A few minutes later she was fine, and since then has not had a problem! Needless to say I gave her lots of nice, cool smooth food like yogurt and even the kids frozen yogurts as her throat must have been SO sore - especially with me jabbing great long spoons down there!

She had premium mince for tea - nice and soft and NO MORE BONES - with a panadol in it for the pain! She's fine this morning - as for her "mother" I needed a stiff drink!

!!!

Bring on Fab Friday and Super Saturday but NO MORE Scary Sunday's thanks!

*Lol asked me how my hand was this morning and I said it was OK but had been bleeding during the night. She said "poor Mummy, my sore usually just sobs a bit"! I think she meant WEEPS!
