SCARY MORNING!

Yes, Molly Piper sleeps with us. Ultimately, we get a LOT of flack about it, too. But this morning, at 4:30, I was THANKFUL that she sleeps with us...she woke up and started flailing her arms and legs, which in turn, woke ME up. Alarmed, I thought she was having a seizure...so I grabbed her up, threw on the light, woke up Todd and pounded her on her back practically upside down...

Molly had bubbles coming out of her mouth!! She was not breathing and I was horrified. We got up with her and, still concerned that she had had a seizure, we waited with her. We put saline in her nose and suctiond out her mouth. Oh, the Phlegm! MY GOODNESS, the phlegm!! Eventually I decided that it must just have been the phlegm that passed that made her not able to breathe.


Still, it was difficult, considering the fact that she was FINE and DANDY when we put her to sleep the night before! She scared the pee wadddlings out of us.

ANyway, we suctioned out her mouth with the bulb syringe, which she thoroughly detested, adn tehn she was able to fall asleep. FINALLY! I kept waking up to make sure she was okay, and finally Todd just got up with her for the day. Here are some pictures of the Little Turkey, still pullin' that smile in bed while I was a nervous wreck....
