[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny (mid-20s) choked while having lunch with our toddler twins today.  We usually work outside the home but thank god my husband had a migraine today and called in or today could have gone very differently.

She was eating a grape when she started choking.  The same grapes she served our toddlers but instead of being cut into fours she ate one whole and choked.  We just watched the security camera facing the kitchen and you can literally see the panic set in and she grasps her hands around her neck and stands up trying to cough.  She tried to perform the Heimlich on herself with our chair but failed.  That’s when she walks out of frame of the camera.

She walked upstairs into our bedroom and banged on the door where my husband said he opened the door to her purple faced and about to pass out.  Thankfully we trained for this before we had kids, but never did he expect to perform the Heimlich on an adult.  Let alone our nanny.  It came out fairly quickly he said and she was ok.  Crying but ok.  He rushed downstairs where she had left our twins (14 months old) in the high chair where they were eating like nothing happened.

We let her go home early and said maybe she should go to urgent care.  Not sure if she did.

I’m glad everything is ok but honestly it makes me scared to have her back here tomorrow.  What if DH wasn’t here?  What would have happened to my kids?  What if they choker?  Fell?  How can we prevent this again?[/quote]

Short answer you can't prevent choking.  I choked on meat any spouse saved me.  Perhaps you can suggest going to cpr for her sake.

Your post does not come off as very caring.[/quote]
