A friend of mine, lost her child yesterday. He was 23 months old and he choked to death on a slice of canned peaches at daycare. The daycare did everything correct from what we can tell but it wasn't enough. The peach was just lodged too deep into his airway. It took 24 minutes for the ambulance to get there and by then he had gone so long without oxygen that he was brain dead. They worked on him for 24 hours but he was pronounced dead yesterday. It is so hard because one second he was thi bright shining happy baby, now he's gone. I have two boys 3 and 4 and I've hugged them all day. If you have babies! Kiss them becasue God's plan isn't always our plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-40378735583274252082008-11-20T15:15:00.000-06:002008-11-20T15:15:00.000-06:00I'm glad your child is okay.

He didn't make a sound. I looked at him and his mouth was open and he had a funny look on his face. Thank God I was able to get to him before he choked. Couple of hard pats on the back and out it came. But I will NEVER forget that moment of panic and hopelessness and pleading "Jesus!". <BR/>I'm so glad your little girl is safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-6662197112887275822008-11-14T22:30:00.000-06:002008-11-14T22:30:00.000-06:00It certainly can happen to anyone!

You have to be very careful when something is only partly blocking the airway, and hitting the child is not going to help. Do the heimlich, either infant or child version, and call 911. <BR/>When you hear your child start to chocke, it is an instinct most parents have to start whacking away at their child's back. DONT! It could do more damage. Assess the situation and start the heimlich.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394451637423528338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-7679224252804293152008-11-14T14:50:00.000-06:002008-11-14T14:50:00.000-06:00Ok, reading this crying!
