The cauliflower incident

As Jillian gets older she gets more interested in food. She really watches us while we eat however she rarely touches food or tries to. 

Tonight I had been sitting on the couch eating some steamed cauliflower with season on it. I finished and went into the kitchen and was cleaning up. Brent was in the kitchen as well. Jillian was sitting on the couch and had taken my phone and was playing something on it (she likes watching old videos of herself).
 I went into the dinning room to mist the geckos (our one gecko has a broken jaw...) all of the sudden Jillian said "oh no" and when I walked over she was pointing at a small piece of cauliflower on the couch. I asked her if she had put it in her mouth. She said yea. With that she started to choke and vomit. I rushed her into the kitchen hitting her back ask she vomited on me and the floor. She just kept pointing to her mouth. 
Brent went and got a stomach drainage bag and we hooked it up to her g port. We have gotten a lot of clear drainage out. 
I don't think she put much in. They were tiny peices of cauliflower (had been frozen) and the piece she got had to been something I dropped and I did not realize I had dropped anything. 
She also still has the suck/swallow skills of an infant so she chokes when she attempts to put something in her mouth. She also vomited rater quickly so I assume that the cauliflower hit her throat and she instantly vomited it. Nothing has come out of her stomach so far that was not normal body fluids.
It still just makes us worry. We will keep a close eye for the next few days to make sure she did not aspirate on anything. 

So that was our excitement for the night. We were all really tired before that (it was 7:30 and Brent and I were just microwaving stuff from dinner because we were tired) but now we are wide awake and exhausted. Brent and I moved really fast in the moment... And then had to clean up the puddles. 
Oh the life of a tubie... She keeps it interesting! 


We are watching her ears right now too. She has been pulling at the one and telling us boo boo for the past two days. I looked into it earlier and it is so full of wax  I could not really see into it. Hopefully it is just a bunch of wax coming out. 


Miss sassy pants on Thursday being really cute. She was giving all of her little people a check up as she put them in the house. 



Brent had his work Christmas party this saturday. His boss asked him to go so we did. Brent started there a little over a month ago so he still does not know many people. I wanted to get a picture  of us dressed up but it did not happen. Here is our pretty pictures from that night:
