Scary moment with Wyatt

I am sure that this is just the first of many times that Wyatt will scare his parents, but I pray that I don't have to go through this again!

On Friday evening, I was nursing Wyatt and had set him up to burp, he did burp a tiny bit so I knew he had more. But all of a sudden he started screaming this scary scream that I'd never heard before. I told Clint that something was wrong...cause this wasn't normal. It was almost a grunting sort of scream, as if he were choking and trying to get something out...but what in the world could he be choking on?!?! So Clint thought he'd try burping him...Wyatt continued to scream like this and he kinda went all lethargic. This is when I noticed that he seemed to be turning blue and going pale! I grabbed him from Clint and told him to call his mom (a nurse) or call 911. We didn't know what to do. Wyatt began sweating profusely all over his neck and face. Since it seemed as though he was "choking" I ended up laying him over my lap to push on his belly while I patted his back.

At this point Clint had already called 911 and we could hear the sirens...As I was patting his back like this, it sounded as though air was released from him or something like that...so I sat him up and he stopped screaming. By the time the paramedics got there, which was super fast, he was smiling at them...crazy boy! They said that he sounded fine and that everything seemed okay! He was still very pale and it took about a half hour for his color to return to normal. We ended up deciding to call his dr. to see what she would say...and she said that it did sound like a choking episode...had no clue you could choke on breastmilk! We are thinking that it may have been like having something going down the "wrong pipe".

Wyatt has been fine ever since, but we were certainly on edge for the rest of that night! Since Wyatt is a boy, I am sure that he will scare his mommy in lots of other ways in the future, just praying that this was a freak thing that we won't have to go through again! As we went through this, I was reminded of Abraham and how he had to trust God with his child...and not that I'm comparing myself to Abraham, I just thought of how I needed to trust Wyatt to the Lord and be thankful for each day with him!
