Amanda said: “Normally if something got stuck it would be a trip up to the Sick Kids hospital. She would go a funny colour and her lips would turn blue. But if I give her a tiny sip of cola it unblocks it. The bubbles either help push the food down or make her sick and it stops her from choking. She is such a happy, smiley little girl. Nothing fazes her. I am so proud to be her mummy.”
