Father-In-Law with Parkinson's Disease Chokes
Sep 20th 2024
"I purchased your an adult Dechoker from your company via Amazon on April 23, 2022. My father-in-law was misdiagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease about 3-4 years ago…his symptoms never matched up entirely and we found out about a year ago that he has a disease i had never heard of before, but breaks you to watch someone you care about to go through…he was diagnosed with PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). Symptoms include loss of function to swallow/eat solid foods and eventually a feeding tube must be put in upon their wish. Recently he has been coughing a bit more and getting choked up while drinking fluids or eating, but tonight we thought we were losing him. My husband immediately began doing the Heimlich and screamed “BABE HE’S CHOKING”, I ran inside and grabbed the Dechoker from the kitchen counter and placed it over his face and your device one million percent SAVED HIS LIFE tonight. We will ALWAYS have one on hand in our household and ideally on our person for the rest of our lives, we are hoping to start a family soon and will most certainly be purchasing one for infants and children and more for adults, what you all have done is a blessing to so many, neither of us knew if we were doing the Heimlich correctly and his father is mostly unresponsive. After the incident had occurred I was going through the instruction sheet that came in the package and was trying to read about how to clean the device, it said if it were used in a life-saving incident to contact you all to have another one sent to us. From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank you enough and will be gifting/telling EVERY Family member/friend about it and even our friends at our local police and fire stations, this is a must have device. You all are incredible. Thank you" - Brooklyn R.
