Oneyearold Tallulah turned purple and stopped moving after the sweet became stuck in her throat.Her mum LeighAnne said the drama began during a visit to her grandma’s house when her grandparents gave her older kids some sweets.
“Then at about 4:45 pm,Tallulah started to choke—we all went into a panic.”
“It seemed like it went on for ages.Not one of us knew what to do.”
“I rang an ambulance while my grandma and granddad tried to get the sweet to come up.”
“Tallulah was panicking at first but then she started to go purple—she almost had no oxygen left in her.”
With her daughter limp(无力的) and time running out,LeighAnne knew she couldn’t afford to wait for the ambulance to arrive.
“The only thing I could think was to go out into the street,” she said.
“I rushed out and screamed for someone to help while my grandma rushed out crying with Tallulah.”
At exactly the moment,Caitlin,who was studying public services at Redcar College,was passing by Queen Street.She said,“I was waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help,so I ran straight over.”
The 17yearold girl added,“Something just clicked and I went into auto mode.The little girl was completely limp,so I checked her airways and tilted(使倾斜) her over and started hitting her back.I turned her round and tapped on her chest,then after what felt like forever she coughed up the sweet and spat it out.”
“As soon as she started crying,I felt a huge relief.I was just so pleased that I was able to help.”
Caitlin was taught lifesaving skills when she joined the Army Cadets four years ago.
