Default Update:Prayers for Braden

I promised I would update. It all happened so fast..I haven't even really processed it yet.

Braden came into the living room gagging on something, so I gave him a few pats on the back thinking it was maybe a cracker or something. But then he was choking. I tried to remember what I could from CPR class and I did a finger swipe and found little chunks of glass. So I started patting his back again and he starting choking more and throwing up blood and his breath was a wierd whistling sound.

I called 911, and the man stayed on the phone with me til they arrived. It seemed like hours and Braden was turning bluish. 3 EMT's were all around him and I couldnt see and one was telling me what was going on, but I swear I couldnt hear him. They performed an emergency tracheotomy on him and one guy was doing some sort of hand held air bag thing.

They had to put him under to get the glass that was wedged in his throat and they used a scope to see if any had gone into his belly and they removed that too.

He will be here for a couple more days. Brandon is bringing Jake this afternoon and then I will take Jake home and Brandon is doing the over night tonight. I will get back on and let you know how he is doing.

Thank you for the prayers.

Sara...my phone went dead after I texted you...did you get it?

And I will answer everyones PM's tonight.

God Bless You. thankyou

oh gosh amy. Yes, I got the first text but then I texted you back and nothing, so that must have been when your phone died. Poor baby.

Gosh- I'm not that familiar around here but this touched me to tears- could feel your stress and worry. I know the power of prayer. Sent some up just now of thanksgiving--that help arrived in time....and more for a complete problem free recovery. Also strength, healing periods of rest and calming assurance for you and your husband to ease your way through this worrisome time.

Oh my goodness. How scary. Poor lil guy. Hope he recovers quickly.

Where did the glass come from? Was it a cup or something? I'm just curious, my lil one puts everything in his mouth.

I am so, so sorry that happened to him and to you. What an awful scary thing (I can relate, but I won't get into that here). I am glad he is ok though and I pray he will heal quickly!

Ive had a few moments like that where my kids were choking/gagging but never on glass. That had to have been scary for you. I hope he will be ok and recover quickly from the surgery. Keep us updated when possible
