“My 2 year old choked on a gummy elderberry vitamin that he eats every single day. My first instinct was to bend my son over and hit his back. That helped some but I suddenly remembered that I had the Dechoker device and I ran to get it and this took care of the rest. I\u2019m grateful for this device and am purchasing a replacement one. Praying that I won\u2019t need to use it again but I\u2019m fully prepared to if need be. The actual gummy vitamin didn\u2019t come up, he ended up swallowing it but the Dechoker prevented him from choking on the built up mucus. There was a lot of it! By the time the Firefighter EMT\u2019s arrived he was completely fine and asked to go to the park. They checked him out and said that everything looked good. I showed them the Dechoker and what was inside and they said that it looked like that was what made the difference. I bought the Dechoker in December 2020 and I\u2019m glad that I did. I don\u2019t know what would have happened yesterday if I hadn\u2019t. Afterwards, my son took pictures with the Fire Captain and one of the EMT\u2019s in front of their fire truck which was a happy ending to a very scary situation.” Gloria<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
