Parents Save Son from Choking on Bottle Cap

Ingrid Flores shared a powerful testimony on her Facebook page about how God saved her young son’s life.

She recounted that while preparing breakfast for her children before school, her son went outside and sat at the veranda table. Moments later, she heard him making a strange, unsettling noise. “I said, ‘Jessy da what’ but he did not answer. So I peeped through the window and saw him bending down and making the ugly noise. So instantly I thought he was playing with the knife and got cut,” she shared.

She said she rushed outside and quickly realised he was turning purple and struggling to breathe. “And I stayed freeze my head was not processing anything, but God hurry showed me what was wrong without looking at his front face and I start knocking on his back but he was getting more purple,” she said.

She shouted for her husband, who ran out and did everything he could, hitting Jessy’s back harder. Suddenly, a white bottle cap flew out of his mouth.

Her son later explained that he had been thirsty and tried to open a bottle of water with his teeth. He pulled too hard, causing the cap to get lodged in his throat.

On her Facebook post, Flores urged parents to be mindful of seemingly small dangers that could lead to life-threatening incidents.
