  • Mom paralyzed after eating gas station nacho cheese
  • Student dies after playing dangerous ‘choking game’
  • Mom dies day after giving birth to healthy son
  • Fidget spinner gets lodged in girl’s throat
  • Boy trapped in refrigerator eats own foot

The fact that the young girl was able to have a conversation with her mother the whole time suggests that while she was in great discomfort she wasn’t in immediate peril, and I’m glad everything worked out OK.
