(ForEveryMom) A mother from Charlotte, North Carolina has an important message for parents this week about the importance of preparing kids for an emergency, after a choking attack left her completely dependent on her kids for help.
Lindsay Smith was home alone Monday with her three sons, Hunter, 8, Michael, 7, and Abe, 5, when she began choking on a small piece of bacon.
As a result of two separate neck surgeries she’s undergone in the past year, Lindsay says she chokes often, but it’s never happened without another adult around.
“The thing about choking is that you cannot call and ask for help,” Lindsay told me over the phone.
