For those of you who have kids, nieces, nephews, etc....this is a great story.

If I was the mother of the girl who was choking, I would feel forever indebted to her best friend.

Enjoy!

    It's a great thing to learn. I was alone with a friend (I was 10, he was 7) when he started choking on a hard candy. Luckily I had some basic first aid from swimming lessons and I gave him the heimlich. It worked! We were both kinda in shock and didn't tell our parents though. Teach your kids lol!!

    When my sister and I were small, she nearly choked to death on a hot dog. I don't know if we ever told my mom about that incident.

    The things we didn't tell our parents, yikes! LOL
