Nikki...I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. I will say a prayer for you and your family...may God comfort and keep you.
When I was in 2nd grade I choked on a piece of brach's butterscotch candy (the round ones) I ran a half a block home into my house into my mother she knew I was choking and she did the heimlich(sp) manuever on me and I spit it out. I was scared to death! My mother is a nurse so she knew what to do. You don't have to be a nurse to learn basic cpr/first aid. I would recommend it to everyone. I learned it in high school and then was certified all through college. Haven't been certified for a while..but I remember the basics. If I become pregnant again I plan on me AND my husband taking a course at the local Red Cross.
Keep your kids away from:
Rubber Bands
Small round candies
Coins
Bottle Caps
Grapes
Ballons(leftovers after it has popped)
