A day after Bill and Christine Florence teased their daughter, Maggie O'Rourke, for giving them a LifeVac anti-choking device for Christmas, Christine used it to save Bill's life. Now, they're paying it forward.
Bill and Christine Florence were eating turkey leftovers on the couch when she looked over and sensed something was wrong.
She tried to do abdominal thrusts, the Heimlich maneuver, but it wasn't working. She called 911, and after a couple of cycles of CPR, she remembered her daughter's gift was sitting under the Christmas tree. After that scare, the family reached out to LifeVac, and the company agreed to match purchases of the device.
"I see these kids every day in the cafeteria, eating their lunches, and it's not just the kids, it's also the teachers, the cafeteria workers, it's everybody. If it happened to me, it can happen to anybody," he said."So when the company offered to donate LifeVacs to Maggie for every order that was placed, we started thinking, 'What can we do?' And the first thing that came to my mind was to get these devices into the schools.
