One-year-old Tallulah turned purple and stopped moving after the sweet became stuck in her throat. Her

mum Leigh-Anne 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, Leigh—Anne 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 is studying public services atRedcarCollege, was passing byQueen Street.

She said, “I was waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help, so I ran straight over.”

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 I was able to help.”
