A couple of weeks ago i got a very scary phone call. It was Emma, a member of staff from my 3 year old daughter’s nursery. Emma told me not to panic as everything was ok now, but Bella had choked on some potato at school. This wasn’t just a gag/cough, but a proper full on choke where the food got stuck. Thankfully, Bella goes to an amazing little nursery where staff are aware and on the ball with incidents such as this. They spotted Bella choking straight away, and thanks to Emma’s quick thinking and reactions (and some very hard back blows!) the food was dislodged. Despite being initially very upset and put off her food for a little while, Bella was absolutely fine but i dread to think of what a different outcome this could have been. I would absolutely love to be able to raise enough money for Abacus Nursery in New Barn to have a LifeVac anti-choking device on their premises. This will enable staff to deal with any choking incidents swiftly and easily!
