This is a PSA for the Heimlich Maneuver.
I would like to ENCOURAGE you to
learn this if you do not know how
to do it.
Last Friday, when I brought kids back
to class after lunch one of my coworkers
was choking. I asked her if she needed
some water and at that time she was
able to answer "YES." But then she said
"I can't breathe, so I turned her around
FAST and did the maneuver on her. I
was able to dislodge some of the stuff
and then she was able to cough up the
rest.
You never know when you might need
to do this, so find out now if you don't
know what to do.
~Keep on Dreaming~
Wow! How fortunate you were there for her! You are so right--we all need to acquire that skill.

Absolutely!!! Kuddos for you sweetie.
ReplyDeleteWe took our class on a fishin' trip and one of my coworkers had actually lost consciousness. She was as limp as a rag doll when I dislodged a hunk of hot dog usin' the Heimlich Maneuver. She was fine, in fact...had no idea what had happened.
Thanks for remindin' us it's necessary to know.
Have a blessed day my friend!!!
You are welcome!
DeleteThings happen so fast, always good to
know what to do--good job!
Hope all is going well with you.
