A True Lifesaver!
August 4, 2016
I would like to share our story and how much we appreciate NoseFrida. If you're debating on whether or not to buy one, please don't hesitate! I'm so glad we did! Here is letter I wrote to FridaBaby and would like to share it here.
Dear Frida Baby,
As I'm writing this, I'm holding my perfectly healthy 10 month old in
my arms. And I have your company to thank for that. I was introduced
to your product, the Nose Frida, when my second child, my son, was an
infant. He had chronic respiratory infections and your product was
amazing! I started recommending it to friends and "Facebook friends".
I claimed it was a "life-saver"! Little did I know it would do just
that with my next child, my sweet daughter Fiona. On October 7, 2015,
the day before Fiona would turn 4 weeks old, the Nose Frida saved my
daughter's life. While sleeping in her rock-n-play Fiona experienced
a reflux reaction to something I had eaten that traveled through my
breast milk. She started to stir then choke. Then she went silent
with the choking. The reflux had come up so far that it was blocking
her airway and nasal cavities. My tiny baby had stopped breathing.
My mother, who is a Oncology nurse and Certified CPR instructor, was
with me. I had experience from my son's respiratory illnesses. We
both took the CPR precautions to clear her airway and were
unsuccessful. As we looked at each other, I knew our last hope was to
suction it out. Something I had only every been successful in doing
with the Nose Frida. In a time that felt like I couldn't move fast
enough I used the Nose Frida to clear my daughter's airway. She
immediately started breathing again! I often think of what we would
have done had we not had the Nose Frida. The thought of waiting on
emergency services to come and clear her airway and what could have
been the outcome, shakes me to my core. We had her evaluated by her
pediatrician and due to successful and quick response she was fine! I
later learned of a local infant two weeks older than Fiona that
suffered from a similar episode just days after she did. However, her
parents arms are now empty. When I say thank you for making such a
product, I mean it with every fiber of my being! Thank you, thank
you, thank you, a million times thank you!
