At first I wasn't going to say anything on here but with all the kids and grand kids in the club and the fact we around water quite a bit I thought it would be worth it if it saves another life.
Sunday morning Emmett quit breathing. He had a pretty big spit up and just couldn't handle it and was choking on it. Luckily we were awake and heard it happen as he was in his crib. I attempted to knock it out of him by pounding on his back with no results. He was turning from dark purple to more pale and limp so I immediately started CPR while Jamie called 911. This continued for another 5 minutes with a slow progression of him getting his color back and working out the spit up. 5 emergency vehicles showed up within 5 minutes and the first to show up, a Sheriff, gave him one more smack on the back and he started crying. He went to the Emergency room and now back to Childrens in St. Paul where he is doing good but recovering from pneumonia.
So, I can't urge everyone enough to learn infant/child CPR. You just never know and Emmett would not be here if I had not learned it in the Hospital.
