It had fake smoke in it and you had to crawl through pretending it was a fire. We escaped through the upstairs window. I adored that little house and would have practiced fire safety in it for my entire childhood. Annie though, she looks like a great lady. Sorry I never got to meet her!Joey Lynn Rescinitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219074986338894660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288618.post-11684264351831136272014-06-08T13:37:42.386-04:002014-06-08T13:37:42.386-04:00Angel,

Even Monte said he dreaded mouth-to-mouthing her because the rubbing alcohol set off his gag reflex!Karmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278364040974045532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288618.post-55855707069708603052014-06-08T13:36:19.768-04:002014-06-08T13:36:19.768-04:00Jill--

First of all--congrats on getting certified!...Jill,<br />First of all--congrats on getting certified!! SO INTERESTING about the compressions and that the Andy didn’t have any lungs for you to practice that part of the training. And the fact that the boy in my class did in fact, kill Resusci-Annie with his mouth blast makes me want to figure out who it was even more! I’m on a mission!!!

But I think if our school had done that, I might have been the kid in the corner looking slightly traumatized. :)Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803298045157119462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288618.post-79826925543320350852014-06-07T19:01:23.690-04:002014-06-07T19:01:23.690-04:00Another interesting side note...my friend and I br...Another interesting side note...my friend and I brought up "Annie" and the instructor did not know what we were talking about!!

And I still got certified! One big takeaway--compressions are far more important than breaths! Oh and by the way....the instructor did mention not blowing too much air or blowing too forcefully into the victim or the air will enter the stomach instead of the lungs, causing gastric inflation, so your 4th grade instructor was right to be upset! momx5https://www.blogger.com/profile/12472770841430952676noreply@blogger.com
