I'm so glad this was put here, where we could all learn, "before" hand, of potential situations and solutions. I think I will suggest the 'code words' to my kids, to use with my grandchildren. That is an awesome idea. :D

I have heard that if you lean over the back of a chair with the top just under your ribs and thrust forward it would also dislodge your blockage. Thank God you're ok.

I did this once - it works! There was no one in the house, so I flopped my belly HARD against the kitchen counter.

I was terrified just reading this. Choking is one of my worst fears, especially in regard to my children.

Like the others said, make sure to learn how to do the self heimlich, with a chair or your own fist...and do it as quickly as possible! Apparently, you only have, I think, 60 seconds or less before you pass out from lack of oxygen. :shock:

Big brave hugs to your son and you!
