A good friend of mine moved out to Seatle Washington a month ago and within the first week there her middle son(6) convinced his little brother (3) to swallow a dime. Needless to say it got stuck in his throat. They got it out after a frantic call to 911 with a ride in the ambulance to the ER and the doctor's just had to put him out so his body could relax and the dime came right out. My friend did learn something that day.... dimes are small enough that they will not completely block your airway if swallowed, thus allowing you more time to get them to the hospital.....
Hope that penny passes soon! Kids sure are a hell of an adventure!
