Perspective...

I wanted to give a bit of perspective as what actually caused the 'almond incident' with Roen several weeks ago. All you mommies out there, please be careful what you feed your kiddos, because what ended up shutting down the left side of Roen's lungs was TINY.

They actually let me keep the piece(s) that where lodged in his airway. See for yourself...



And here are some pictures of his actual airways...

I meant to post this awhile back and forgot. In my heart I feel like this is so important because it is something that can be so easily prevented!

So scary but I'm glad you posted this because it's so important for anyone to see! I'm just glad little Roen is back to his cute, healthy self!

Hayden swallowed a nickel a couple of months ago and this easily could have happened to him. Luckily it passed, but it took about two weeks. We had taken the nickel away and he somehow got it and took it to his room when they were going to bed. He was playing with it in his mouth and swallowed it. Scary stuff.
