Kit - masterful writing. I was gripped reading your own experience all the way through to your saving the child.

I never thought there was disagreement on Heimlich, in fact, I've read and been shown this so many times - and never have seen it in real life. So I've always assumed - it's what one should do.

Thought-provoking...but as a mom, I would forever be grateful you did what you did. It worked!

Thanks for sharing this!
