The Heimlich Manuever

Cal started choking on his orange today while sitting at the table. I half-assedly gave him the Heimlich Manuever twice. Finally, after I realized he really couldn't breath (because I asked him and he shook his head), I lifted him by the waist to stand him on the floor, where I was going to try it for real. But the lift apparently did it- he threw up all over Lisa's floor.

Special thanks to Lisa- for standing by flustered and confused me and for cleaning up my kid's puke.
