So glad you are okay! I had already read Big Mama’s funny post and thought how smart Caroline was. My husband and I can get petty and snippy at each other some times during our day to day lives, but when things get rough and we need each other we are there for each other (over 40 years now!) That’s the true test.

You just gotta love our guys when they show that sweet, loving, nurturing side. It always makes me fall in love with mine all over again!! So glad you’re okay, those surprise trips to the hospital can really put a crimp in a schedule, can’t they?

Thanks for the shout out, Mary. I’m glad you’re okay and hope your next field trip is more fun!

Oh my goodness! I’m glad you’re going to be o.k. but it sounds like it was kind of scary at first. What a sweet hubby you have!

My hubby is a pastor, and while it’ll come in handy if he has to bury me someday, lol, it wouldn’t be much help should I need a quick diagnosis and an IV!

However, he is loving and sweet and good at comforting and knows his way around a hospital or a nursing home as he’s visited several of them over the years.

I once had pickle juice send my throat into spasms and my mom kept trying to give me the Heimlich maneuver!

Do stay away from Dr. Google. He has no bedside manner!

I’m glad you’re feeling better and nothing serious was wrong. Now, in the future, make sure you chew those almonds up.

Yep, that is the type of many you want. How scary! My son choked on a chicken nugget this summer and we went through the same type of thing. except in the end they had to do surgery to remove the chicken nugget. Glad you will be better soon.

Oh Mary! I’m so sorry! I’m so glad you’re ok. What a precious husband you have. Of the times in my life I’ve been in the hospital, my husband has been fussy over me too…it’s so sweet to see.

Your kids didn’t even tell me this happened to you when I saw them last night!!

First of all, glad you’re okay! And yes, I agree with Caroline (who never fails to amuse…I do read Big Mama cuz she makes me smile). So important in a man, or even a friend. I remember once being stuck on a beach in a remote lava-encrusted area of Hawaii, because my husband had lost the key. He had to hike out 6 miles and my MIL and I were stuck, night was falling, no food, infant twins and a 2 year old to amuse. She was great! She stayed calm, didn’t complain, and dealt with things. This is the kind of quality I look for in traveling companions, friends, life partners, and grandparents for my children

Yikes, not fun! On another topic, we loved the Christmas pictures of your family – quite beautiful, as always.
