Life Saved by ArixMed #38
On August 11, 2024, Michelle Gaitan shared a powerful and emotional story of how the ArixMed Choking Rescue Device saved her young son Elijah from a terrifying choking incident:
“We debated whether or not to share this, but if it can help save one person, we have to tell our story. A child dies every 5 days from choking. Please read and share.”
Michelle and her family were at her mother’s house when Elijah began choking on a whole strawberry. Despite LeAnn’s desperate attempts to remove the obstruction, Elijah lost consciousness. What followed was every parent's worst nightmare.
LeAnn immediately called 911, but as we were trying to revive him, I suddenly remembered a choking device my sister Nancy had bought for my mom. I had to leave Elijah unresponsive on the floor to grab it—one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.
With time running out, Michelle and her cousin Matt quickly used the ArixMed Choking Rescue Device on Elijah. In the frantic moments that followed, it was a race against time to save his life:
The first time it did nothing, but I tried again, with all my might. Suddenly, Elijah’s eyes opened, and he started crying. The red I saw wasn’t blood—it was the strawberry that had been lodged in his throat. He was alive!
In the blur of emergency services arriving, Michelle’s gratitude for the ArixMed Choking Rescue Device couldn’t be overstated. Without it, she believes they would have lost Elijah.
We are so thankful to Nancy for buying this device. If we hadn’t had it, I know we would have lost him. It saved his life. Please order a device to protect your loved ones. Elijah will always have one in his backpack, plus one for his daycare. I plan to teach them how to use it, so they are prepared.”
A child dies every 5 days from choking. Don't be a statistics!
