A schoolboy in Scotland suffered a collapsed lung after choking on a piece of popcorn.
Two-year-old, Jordy Gordon from Fort William, Scotland, was just two years old when he choked on the snack and unknowingly inhaled a kernel, which obstructed his airways.
His mum took him to the hospital when he couldn’t stop coughing, wrongly suspecting he had a chest infection.
But scans revealed the tiny piece of popcorn had caused one of Jordy’s lungs to completely collapse and he was kept in for treatment.
But a follow-up scan to check his lung function revealed he had a potentially-fatal heart condition where his pulmonary veins were in the wrong place.
Jordy wasn’t getting enough oxygen and without open-heart surgery could “drop dead” at any moment, doctors warned.
His mum Shona Macgillivray, 35, fears the heart condition would never have been discovered if Jordy hadn’t inhaled the snack.
The early years practitioner, from Scotland, said: “I now think of that popcorn as both a blessing and a curse, as it showed us what was wrong.”
Shona added: “We spoke to the doctors who told us that loads of things can go wrong during surgery, but if he didn’t have it he could just drop dead at some point maybe in his late teens or early twenties.”
Doctors said there was a chance he might not survive the operation or be left disabled by it, but he went under the knife in July 2016.
The 12-hour surgery at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow saw doctors cut through his chest to reposition his pulmonary veins.
Shona said: “It was the worst day of my life. It was awful – I walked in, burst into tears, and then walked back out again.
“It was like he was comatose and wasn’t really aware of what was going on.”
Six days after he was admitted for his surgery, Jordy came home to his mum, dad and older brother Rhys, now 10, after making a full recovery.
NEW YORK: The dollar slid to a six-month low on Tuesday as progress on U.S.-China trade tensions led investors to higher-risk assets, while a year-end rally that lifted global stocks to record highs stayed alive on the last trading day of 2019. A gauge of world stock markets and stocks on Wall Street rebounded late in the session after trading lower most of the day, marking an end to a remarkable year for investors. Many equity indices, long-term bonds, oil and gold posted double-digit gains in 2019. U.S. President Donald Trump said the Phase 1 trade pact with China would be signed on Jan. 15 at the White House, though confusion remains about details of the agreement. Hope of an imminent deal has been a key driver for lifting global equities to their best year since 2009, up 24% for the year and 88% for the decade.

اسلام آباد(مانیٹرنگ ڈیسک)بھٹو اور شریفوں کے درمیان باہمی اعتماد کے فقدان کی 1970 کی دہائی سے ایک تاریخ ہے۔ انہوں نے بداعتمادی کو ختم کرکے اعتماد سازی کیلئے اکثر کوششیں بھی کیں لیکن زخم اس قدر گہرے ہیں کہ انہیں مندمل کرنا آسان نہ ہو گا۔ اسی چیز نے پنجاب اور سندھ میں ان کے کارکنوں کے درمیان خلیج حائل کردی ہے۔روزنامہ جنگ میں مظہر عباسی لکھتے ہیں کہ نئی قیادت کو نئی سیاسی حکمت عملی کے ساتھ سامنے آنے کے بجائے وہی نفرتیں اور سیاسی عدم اعتمادی آئندہ نسل میں منتقل کی جا رہی ہے۔ مریم نواز اور بلاول بھٹو زرداری بھی اسی ڈگر پر چل پڑے ہیں۔ ان رویوں نے ملک میں سیاسی و جمہوری عمل کو شدید نقصان پہنچایا ہے۔ لیکن اس بات سے طاقتور حلقوں کو سیاسی نظام میں دخل اندازی اور ایک دوسرے کو لڑانے کا موقع مل گیا۔ چونکہ آج بھی معاملات نواز شریف اور آصف علی زرداری کے قابو میں ہیں لہذا مریم اور بلاول بھی ماضی کی سیاست کے ہی یرغمال ہیں۔انہیں اس ماضی سے نکلنے میں دشواری کا سامنا ہے۔ اپنے بزرگوں کے اختیار کردہ موقف اور راستے سے انحراف ان دونوں کے لئے آسان نہیں ہے۔ پی ڈی ایم کے سربراہ اجلاس میں یہی کچھ ہوا جب مسلم لیگ ...
