Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, known for his appearance on the reality TV show “Jersey Shore,” recently shared a terrifying moment on Instagram. In a video captured by their Ring camera, Mike and his wife, Lauren, can be seen saving their two-year-old son, Romeo, from choking on a piece of pasta.
The footage shows the family sitting at their dinner table, enjoying a meal together. Suddenly, Romeo starts to struggle and hunches over, unable to breathe. Mike and Lauren immediately spring into action, trying to determine what’s wrong and how to help their son.
In his Instagram post, Mike describes the incident as “the scariest moment of our lives.” He expresses his pride in how he and Lauren remained calm and acted quickly to dislodge the food from Romeo’s throat, ultimately saving his life. Mike also expresses his gratitude that everything turned out well and emphasizes his love for his family.
As a result of this terrifying experience, Mike plans to take CPR lessons to be better prepared for any future emergencies. Additionally, he and Lauren have decided to temporarily stop giving Romeo his favorite gnocchi, the food that caused the choking incident.
The news of Romeo’s choking incident quickly spread among Mike’s “Jersey Shore” co-stars. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi commented on the Instagram post, expressing her sympathy for Romeo and praising Mike and Lauren as wonderful parents. Sammi Giancola also shared her relief that Romeo is okay, while Jenni “JWoww” Farley expressed her gratitude that everything turned out fine.
Mike and Lauren’s journey as parents has been eventful. They got married in November 2018 and welcomed their first child, Romeo, in May 2021. Just over a year later, in January 2023, they had their second child, Mia Bella. And now, they are expecting their third child, with a due date in March 2024.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for emergencies, especially when it comes to the safety of our loved ones. Mike and Lauren’s quick thinking and action saved Romeo’s life, highlighting the importance of remaining calm and knowing how to respond in such situations. As they continue to navigate parenthood, their experience serves as a valuable lesson for others.
