Ben, our 25 year old son, who is disabled, choked again on Tuesday. We usually keep the refrigerator door locked, but forgot one time. He got in there and got some chicken strips. He had crammed some into his mouth. I was downstairs and heard his weird coughing upstairs and went racing up. He was just barely breathing, standing up still, and while I was trying to get him to cough it out, I called 911. Then sometime in all that I did the Heimlich on him and it worked! Praise the Lord! Oh my gosh, you can imagine how my mind was racing, and time just gets warped. I told them on the phone he was okay, he had cleared it. But then he wouldn't let me get it out of his mouth and swallowed it again. He can't spit out. It had to be a huge slimy glob of unchewed chicken. He pooped his pants (I nearly pooped mine - LOL) The deputy sheriff came by later that afternoon to make sure he was okay. We try to always be with him when he is eating, so he doesn't stuff his mouth too full and choke. But, then something like this happens. This is maybe the 5-6 time like this with the bolting and choking and us having to rescue him. We have to not only cut up his food into tiny bits, but also make sure he doesn't put too many tiny bits into his mouth. Praise the Lord for saving him again! He does keep his guardian angel very busy! This is Ben with Mac, our African Grey Timneh parrot.
