Buddha Almost Died |
If I had been taking a nap, Buddha wouldn't be here anymore. He was in his
playpen burning off energy before a nap, and I was in the living room
watching the Outer Limits. I heard a weird noise and muted the television.
I couldn't figure out what it was so I went into his room. He was on his
back in the playpen gagging on something and turning a little blue.
I put my finger in his mouth and fished out a wheel from a little Brio type
train. He continued to gag. I don't know if his tongue was in spasms or if
it had begun to swell up already. I got two fingers into his mouth and got
a hold of the axle with the other wheel on it. That damn axle was a life
saver. It provided a handle to pull out the wheel that was jammed in there,
I stood him up to see if he was breathing okay, and he couldn't stand up
without help. He still wasn't making any noise. I almost pulled his pants
down and smacked his ***** to make him cry. But I listened more closely and
he was getting air. Tears were silently streaming down his cheeks and he
was wet with drool.
I can't believe this. If it had been nap time I probably would have been
taking a nap also and there is no way I would have heard that over the baby
monitor. I can't get the image out of my head of possibly walking in there
after a nap and finding him dead.
I try to keep those trains away from him unless he is supervised because
they aren't for children under age three, and he's at the age where
throwing stuff is cool. But the little fire truck was left in his playpen.
Talk about irony. A rescue vehicle almost killed my child. I'm still
shaking so bad that I can barely take a drink of soda without spilling it.

Wow. That's really scary. Glad it had a good outcome. Amazing
how we can do what needs to be done in the moment. The
freaking out tends to come afterward. I bet he gets lots of
extra hugs tonight.

Sometimes when I look back, I see a thousand times and
ways my kids could have died. I didn't think too much
about that at the time, the horror was just too
unthinkable. It's kind of odd that those fearful thoughts
seem to be surfacing now. The time my son didn't chase the
ball out into the street becomes a brief vision that he
did instead. Weird.
So glad to hear that the Buddha lives.

Hey, you know all sorts of stuff about religion... Why is it that I, a
confirmed agnostic who usually rails against God over his unwillingness to
present himself, seems to revert to thanking God (whoever he may be) when
things like this happen?
An atheist would say it was just a coincidence that this didn't happen
while I was asleep. Yet it happened in circumstances that were well outside
of our normal schedule. I had an appointment yesterday morning so my father
babysat for a couple of hours. Being out of the house at that time of day
changed the time I would normally have laid Buddha down for a nap and taken
a nap myself.
I wouldn't have heard him struggling if I had been asleep, and the fact
that I was awake at the time was out of the norm.
Odd. My reaction was odd also. The entire history of my life has a pattern
when it comes to really tense situations. I freeze and stare in disbelief.
But I didn't this time. I did something immediately and ignored the urge to
call 911. It wasn't a clear choice in my mind, but I knew instinctually
that 911 would be useless in a situation where a child isn't getting air.

Because we've given a name to gathering our own strength and bred it into
the human consciousness to the point that religion lives in the temporal
lobe of the brain. I pray a lot... doesn't mean I think anyone is
listening, except me.

That's one way to look at it.
Another is that thanking God is well branded into our culture. Doesn't
mean you believe in the existence of any supreme entity; it's just what
you say because you're used to hearing it so often. "Thank heaven" is
another such phrase. It presupposes no religious belief; after all, you
don't hear folks saying "Thank Christ" or "Thank Jesus". It's just a
general expression of gratitude and thankfulness--equivalent, perhaps,
to thanking fate or whatever we feel is beyond our mortal influence.
Somewhat similar to that is swearing "by God" to the veracity of some
statement. Goes back a long way. Ancient Romans used to swear "by Jove,"
an oath that's familiar to our ears, although seldom used on U.S. shores
anymore. Even the Hebrew word "Amen" is a leftover from the days of
Israelite captivity in Egypt. Ancient Egyptians had a slew of gods and
goddesses. The bigwig of them all was Amun. Egyptians used to swear by
Amun to underscore the truth of what they were saying. The Hebrew
language borrowed it and made it "Amen," meaning yes, truly, certainly.

Oh wow, how scary that would have been for both of you! Thank God the

out and extra cautious for a while, but I hope you all settle down again
soon.

I'll just keep an eye on him. He didn't get anything down, and there is no
coughing or excessive drooling so it seems that his throat is okay. I
shined a flashlight in there to see if there was any irritation and he
seems okay. Plus he is running around like a little madman again.
And to think at times that screaming gets on my nerves. Now it sounds like
music!

It's the instinct that took over, the shock is the wave that follows...
When my son's room burned and he screamed and his leg was burned, I stayed
so damn calm, after the fire was out and he was resting comfortably on the
couch, I went to my room and cried my eyes out.

I'd just ruin kids if I had them.
"Where's Timmy?"
"He's out back in his hermetically sealed, padded, fire-proof, video
monitored, UV filtered, transparent play module."

I told you this was going to happen.

If I had been taking a nap, Buddha wouldn't be here anymore. He was in his
playpen burning off energy before a nap, and I was in the living room
watching the Outer Limits. I heard a weird noise and muted the television.
I couldn't figure out what it was so I went into his room. He was on his
back in the playpen gagging on something and turning a little blue.
I put my finger in his mouth and fished out a wheel from a little Brio type
train. He continued to gag. I don't know if his tongue was in spasms or if
it had begun to swell up already. I got two fingers into his mouth and got
a hold of the axle with the other wheel on it. That damn axle was a life
saver. It provided a handle to pull out the wheel that was jammed in there,
I stood him up to see if he was breathing okay, and he couldn't stand up
without help. He still wasn't making any noise. I almost pulled his pants
down and smacked his ***** to make him cry. But I listened more closely and
he was getting air. Tears were silently streaming down his cheeks and he
was wet with drool.
I can't believe this. If it had been nap time I probably would have been
taking a nap also and there is no way I would have heard that over the baby
monitor. I can't get the image out of my head of possibly walking in there
after a nap and finding him dead.
I try to keep those trains away from him unless he is supervised because
they aren't for children under age three, and he's at the age where
throwing stuff is cool. But the little fire truck was left in his playpen.
Talk about irony. A rescue vehicle almost killed my child. I'm still
shaking so bad that I can barely take a drink of soda without spilling it.
You saved a baby today. I can only imagine your fear. Try to stop
shaking, and be very proud of yourself! Jeanne
