Emily found a penny on the ground next to the car. We quickly jumped in to head home from a long day at school. As we were on our way home she started weazing and making strange noises. I turned around and saw that she was turning red! I asked her if she was okay and then her eyes grew very big and tears started pouring out. Evan blurted out in hseer panick, "She swallowed that penny!!"
In my mind I was freaking out, but knew that I had to stay (sort of) calm. For some strange reason I went home a different route than I normally do, and it was down Forest Ln. We were driving right by Medical City when we discovered that Emily had the penny stuck in her throat, so I sped to our doctors office at Medical City!! Immediatly they were able to assess the situation and make sure that she was not choaking, but the penny was stuck. They had her drink water and try to wash the penny down. They told her that she will poop the penny out and all will be fine!
(Ever since then, she goes to the bathroom and comes out to give me a penny report...)
