A four-month-old baby nearly died after choking on his own vomit.
Romey Lloyd was rushed to hospital on Thursday, April 27, after his terrified family noticed he was having breathing problems. His grandma Paula Mantle, 52, said: "He'd been sick and it had gone into his lungs. His heart swelled and crushed his airways. We took him to Hereford Hospital and he was transferred straight to Birmingham under clinical care.
"It was absolutely awful. I carried him into A&E and a paramedic was stood there. She took one look at him and said 'how long has he been like that for?' and I said 'about fifteen minutes', and she rushed us straight into resuscitation room, where he was put on a ventilator, and he was very close to death. It was as bad as it could get. We asked if it was life-threatening and they said yes."
