\u201cChilling on the couch with the baby. Watching videos on phone. She is next to me quietly. Too quiet. I notice she is sitting upright lightheaded. She cannot breathe, I am not sure if 5 seconds or a minute had already passed, I immediately try to remove the pretzel she was eating by hitting her back\/Heimlich etc. Nothing. 30 seconds had passed. So now it is 30 seconds plus however long, I remember we have a Dechoker device in her bag… adrenaline too high and the baby is now basically lifeless, and I thought she died on my watch. I remember thinking “if she dies tonight, I die tonight as well. I thought I was about to fail her as a father and guardian.. That was not good. This pretzel was stuck deep. My wife found the Dechoker. I finally lay her down on the ottoman and get the pretzel out for good, the pretzel was not like a “piece” of pretzel, it was chewed – mush and caused it to block airway. I know she’s my blood\/ my kid because somehow, she still had a pretzel and continued eating it as I walked around holding her… We sat on the couch. She laid down still hugging me. Very intense. Hope that never happens again\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
