Sometimes it's incredible how quickly things happen. One moment your young child is playing gleefully, and the next, they are screaming. Even more worrisome, the neighboring room becomes suddenly silent. It seems you can't take your eyes of younger family members for even a second.
Illustrator Sakuko Kamiyama (@sakukokkoo) covered such an experience in a recent post. Her young child was enjoying some boiled carrot wedges when there was a sudden emergency.

Scary indeed. It's shocking to see a peaceful meal become a full-blown emergency. Fortunately, Sakuko was prepared.
The author had a message for readers:
When my son choked on a carrot "Although I panicked, I was able to help my son because I'd seen the many Twitter posts circulating about what to do when a child is choking. I'm very grateful to Twitter. All the posts about choking first-aid (the Heimlich, back blow method) implanted the emergency response into my brain and were incredibly useful when I needed it." -Sakuko Kamiyama July 16, 2020
