\u201cI used the Dechoker to pull cotton from my sons airway. I was not sure if it would work but with two pulls my sons airway was cleared!\u201d \u201cMy 3-year-old special needs son was in his crib napping. I heard him stirring around so I started to put my 6-month-old daughter down so I could go get my son. I heard him laughing and making happy noises, so I did not rush to secure my daughter in her bouncer. His silly noises turned to coughing and choking so after securing my daughter I hurried to my son\u2019s room. He was obviously choking on something, but I was not sure of what since I always make sure there\u2019s nothing he can choke on when I put him in his crib. As I picked him up to assist him, I saw a small hole in his teddy bear with bits of cotton hanging out and I knew that is what he was choking on. I did a finger swipe and was unsuccessful at retrieving anything. I rushed him down the hall to where his diaper bag with the Dechoker was all while giving him back blows with no result. I laid him on the table, still gagging and choking and used the Dechoker. I was unsure if would work on a soft material like cotton, since it was not a solid object, so I called 911 while using the Dechoker. It took two pulls to pull out all the cotton, but he stopped choking and took a good deep breath. The 911 operator stayed on the phone with me until I was sure my son was out of danger, but I was able to cancel the 911 call because of the Dechoker. Thank you so much. I recommend every parent has one!\u201d K.C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
