Carver says she and Ayan’s father, Mohammad Umar, have signed up to take a first aid class and she encourages other parents to do the same.
“I was feeling like maybe it was a bad dream, maybe somebody gonna wake me up,” says his Ayan’s grieving dad. “He sleeps on my chest. I see him everywhere.”
I took a first aid class shortly after having my first child, as the woman who ran my childbirth education class encouraged us to do, and I’m so glad I did. Moms and dads, if you aren’t equipped to help your kids in the event they might need the Heimlich or CPR, please get signed up for a class today!
