Pray for Little Giddy

Tonight Gideon was sitting on the floor in the dining room, when he suddenly fell backwards -- he was pulling on something and his hand slipped, and ended up flat on his back. He must have had something in his mouth, because he started choking, the real choking, not just coughing. He was breathing sometimes, and not breathing other times, and when he could breathe, it was shallow and weezy. Back blows between the shoulder blades, and some upside down treatment made him vomit. Good, we thought. He calmed down and fell asleep for a short nap. When he woke up, he started coughing again -- one of those terrible, trying to get something out from deep inside, coughs. Rachel took him to the emergency room. They took X-rays, and whatever he swallowed is stuck in his lung. They're transferring him to Hershey Medical Center tonight to remove it. It's going to be a long night, it looks like.
