LifeVac is thrilled to share news of another life saved
Below is the mothers testimonial of the terrifying choking incident.
“I was cooking dinner when I looked over to see my 1-year-old son, his back was turned, but I could see the side of his face was red and he was in an odd sitting position. I knew right away he was choking and rushed over. I couldn’t see anything in his mouth and immediately beat on his back! He had fluids and bubbles coming from his mouth, but he clearly was not breathing! I grabbed him and ran to the hall closet where I recently put the LifeVac I bought (only weeks ago). I tried once more to do back blows and then opened and attempted the LifeVac. I didn’t see anything dislodge, but the hallway was dark.
I grabbed him again and ran outside shouting for help! I attempted the LifeVac again, I pulled the object from his mouth and then hugged him for what felt like forever! The object turned out to be a clear cap to my daughter’s baby-doll bottle. It was so large I never considered it a choking hazard, but must have suction-cupped inside his mouth! And since it was clear I couldn’t see it. I am so grateful my gut told me a month or so ago to buy the LifeVac!”
