I just saved my mother's life

[hippiedeath]

My mother came into my room in a panic. She was choking. I gave her the hiemlic maneuver as I was taught, and she cleared the obstruction.

Wow you acted quick I assume. Good job!

Yes I calmly followed her to the bathroom. She ran from me but I told her don't run. About three moves and she was clear.

Damn, I can't even imagine. Glad you were there and able to help her out. Thoughts and prayers. ♥

Yes thankfully I was there. I've had the hiemlic done on me before, never did it for someone.

Thank you

Proud of you. Hope you can both shake this off, I know I'd be shook up for a while after that.

It was a bit more dramatic than this, but I saved my mother's life when she was having a brain aneurysm.

Yes I'm still shaken up now. You saved your mom from a brain aneurysm? How did that go?

I was across the street from my apartment with my youth group at a restaurant for dinner. We were celebrating the last day of high school before Summer break. Just having a normal time. Suddenly, something in my head screamed at me to go home now. It was so strong, so out of nowhere that I listened and bolted home without even saying anything to my friends. I found Mom screaming in pain on the bathroom floor and called 911. I was relatively calm about it--Dad was epileptic, I'd called 911 for his seizures dozens of times, but it was still unsettling that it was Mom who needed help.

EMTs took her to the local ER who saw that it was a brain aneurysm and she got helicoptered to a larger hospital that could do emergency brain surgery. Then once she was stable she was helicoptered to another specialist hospital for ~2mo in the ICU recovering. Once back home, she needed several more months of outpatient therapy and meds.

After it all, she was physically weaker than before and had some memory problems, but was incredibly lucky to have survived.

Wow, that is an amazing story. You had the precience and strength to listen. Truly heroic.

I'm not spiritual or into supernatural shit, but that still spooks me sometimes that I was commanded to go find her.

There's a scene in the movie,"A Case for Christ " where a Christian woman saved a atheist woman from choking in a restaurant. She had a strong intuitive feeling that she needed to go to that restaurant, and followed her premonition.
