The longest thirty minutes of my life.
Yesterday morning was hell on earth for me. I wake up way before I wanted to so I could take Frank to work. I get home and check my email like I do everyday. Abby is wanting me to hold her so she can slap the keyboard. I get done and put her down. I walk out of the room for a minute and I hear her cry it sounded a little funny then I hear a muffled cough (not her usual fake one). I walk in there to find her holding a tube in her hand with something white all in her mouth. I grab the tube to see what she found and it's super glue. I scream grab her up and grab my cell to call Frank (he didn't answer). So I grab the house phone to call 911 screaming about my 14 month old just swallowed super glue. I give them my name and address and that if they tone first responders that it's Frank's daughter. Then I remember TINA. I grab my cell again while on the house phone with diapatch and call constantly yelling "TINA TINA TINA". No answer dispatch tones 523 the first responders. My cell rings with Tina on there telling me she was on her way. I call Frank again he answers this time, I ask if he heard the tone before he could reply I yelled "It's Abby you asshole." I know it was of me evil but I was panicked and men are never around when you need them. It seemed like forever it was only like a few minutes. I will be honest 51 has never looked so beautiful to me. I grabbed Abby and ran outside to let Tina get her luckily I had got most of it out of her mouth. Theresa pulled up a minute later, then Evert, and then the ambulance with Murphy. We took her to the hospital via ambulance. I called Frank on the way there telling him we are on our way. Abby constantly smiling at Murphy (she's a flirt). We get there and they said she'd be ok. When we got out of the ER Abby was yelling for Tera (my mom's Boston terrier). I was still in panic mode and all she could think of was that dog. From the time it happened to the time I got to the ER was only 30 minutes tell me that ain't a kick ass responce time. She is much better today, she is helping me type this so if there are typos it ain't easy to do this while holding her.
