It choked me and made me turn red and then blue. My mother called for some immediate help but before the paramedics visited me, I regained my breathing. It did hurt my throat enough for me to cry for a while. I was asked to see a pediatrician immediately. I behaved well enough in front of the doctor to be let go with just pain killers.
Every once in a while, it is very reassuring to see how much my parents care about me :)
After 2 days of no pooping and bursts of crying, my mother was convinced I needed more doctoral consultation. I kept drooling more frequently and picked up some cold and fever too. Now, it was time for some serious diagnosis. I am happy to say that I passed one of biggest tests I have had till today - the Esophogram test. My dad could not contain his excitement that I was the first member of the family to eat Barium! After 3-4 days, I started eating well, and now it is back to normal.
- I got to visit 3 different hospitals, many doctors and heard my name so many times on the phone.
- I got plenty of carrying-time from mom and dad and made my elder sister jealous of all the attention.
- I have been barred from most interesting places. I hear the vacuum cleaner every day.
- I keep moving on surfaces that are clinically clean and devoid of any exciting materials.
- I am often strapped to chairs or rockers and get my mom and dad excited every time I make the action of chewing something.
