What a day. I came home from a rough day at school to the news that Grandma and Bailee had a visit from the fire department an hour or so before. Our stove caught fire! No damage to the rest of the house, but the stove is a loss and will have to be replaced. Great.
Since we had no way to cook dinner (and we were feeling sorry for ourselves) we decided to go out to dinner. We stopped in at Red Robin, which is one of Bailee's favorites (she loves their onion rings). Two bites into our meal, Diana produced a piece of wire from her food and proceeded to cough and choke. We had to rush her over to the E.R., where they did x-rays to see if she had swallowed a piece of the wire. Given the deluge of swine flu fearful, it took well over three hours. No wire was found, but her throat was scratched and the incident provoked an asthma attack. They gave Diana a breathing treatment and told her to stay on a liquid diet for a while.
Red Robin and their staff were great about the whole thing. They didn't charge any of us for our meal and the corporate office is going to cover the cost of the hospital visit. The manager called several times this evening to check on Diana. I thought that was pretty decent. Mistakes happen to all of us, and I thought that Red Robin handled the incident in an honorable and caring way. Will we go back to eat there again? Yes. Accidents happen, despite our best efforts and precautions.
