This is a situation you don’t want to find yourself in.
Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino took to Instagram Saturday to reveal that his two-year-old son, Romeo, choked on a piece of pasta Thursday.
The “Jersey Shore” star shared Ring camera footage of the terrifying incident, showing how he and his wife, Lauren, saved the toddler’s life.
In the clip, Mike and Lauren can be seen sitting at their dinner table with Romeo and their daughter, Mia Bella, 1, when their son begins to struggle.
Mike, 41, and Lauren, 39, quickly jump into action and try to determine what’s wrong before dislodging the piece of food from their son’s mouth.
“THE SCARIEST MOMENT OF OUR LIVES ‼️ It was an ordinary dinner at the Situations when suddenly without notice Romeo started choking on his favorite pasta pesto gnocchi !! He hunched over and wasn’t breathing 😩,” Sorrentino wrote alongside the video.
Mike went on to say that he and Lauren did what they could to remain calm.
“I am so proud of how my wife and I didn’t panic, didn’t hesitate and eventually dislodged the food which was blocking airway and saved his life,” he continued.
