Vivian's Story

Vivian, a mother of one of the Blink instructors, decided to come out and take a Blink class. She learned basic CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver and she left the class.

Just one week later, she was home with her daughter and her daughter’s friends. One of the friends was sucking on a lemonhead when she suddenly began to choke. She was turning purple and wasn’t breathing--the entire room went into a panic.

Vivian immediately jumped up and said, “I know what to do.” Vivian got behind her, did the Heimlich Maneuver and the lemonhead came flying out. The Blink class she took a week earlier saved her daughter’s friend’s life.

 Two years later, that same girl ended up marrying Vivian’s son and becoming her daughter-in-law.
