Close to midnight here, dd heard coughing on the monitor so I went in to check her. She has large wing hanging out of her mouth and am guessing the rest of the moth is what was making her cough. OH I feel squemish just thinking about it...she is 8 months old. (There was a light on in the hall but no open windows so no idea how it got in or why it went into her room or how she saw it to grab it and eat it in the dark???) She'll be fine right???

You see, this is exactly why we need the vomit emoticon .

I'm sure she'll be fine - not sure if you'll ever recover though.

My nephew once ate a slug and survived. I still have nightmares seeing the goo all down his chin.

thanks, I am never ever getting that image out of my brain, I think I am seriously traumatised, am back off to bed (after searching thoroughly for spiders looking for shelter (Im not sure I can count myself a true vegetarian any longer if I have been unknowingly consuming spiders all this time)
