The Case of the Missing Money

We had a bit of a scare yesterday. On the way home from work, I hear some choking sounds coming from the backseat. I turn to look, and there's Reagan with pure terror in her eyes clutching her throat. I pull over to run around to her. Just as I got to her and started undoing her seatbelt, she put her hands in her mouth and gagged herself. (which of course means projectile vomiting everywhere including in to my cupped hands). She has never been sick up to this point and was very disgusted by the whole thing, which I think is why the vomiting continued for a few more rounds. Anyway, after all this, I discover she had been choking on nickels!! She apparently had gotten nickels out of the door handle of the car and put them in her mouth (which she rarely does). Thankfully, she's okay,but it scared both of us. She tells me she "swallowed three monies". I found two, but if there is/was a third, we are now checking at bathroom time. Looking back, it was something out of a Lifetime Movie. It was pouring rain on country roads, Reagan's not breathing (seconds sure can feel like an eternity), no cell phone coverage...
A movie I hope is never a repeat!!
