Life Save #304: Father saves 2 year old just in time!
Sep 20th 2024
"I just want to say thank you for the product that you make. I purchased a set about a year and a half ago, thinking “just in case”. I hoped that I would never need to use it, but two days ago while eating dinner my 2 year old began choking on a piece of hotdog that he did not chew up. My wife tried patting his back to dislodge it but that didn’t work. I picked him up and turned him face down and slapped his back a couple times, which also didn’t work. While I did that my wife ran to grab the Dechoker, she returned and tried once, without success because she didn’t have a seal around his nose and mouth. I laid my son on the floor and took the Dechoker from my wife and stuck the tube into his mouth, made sure I had a seal around his mouth and nose and pulled the handle. He instantly took a deep breath and I knew the food was cleared from his throat. So thank you, because if we didn’t have this, I really don’t know if he’d be here today. Also, in my wife’s panic she grabbed the adult device, and it worked perfectly for us even on a 2 year old." -Tim M.
