Terrible. May we hear good news.
The correct term is strangled, which refers to pressure applied to throat from the outside, whereas choking refers to a blockage inside the throat.

My prayers go out to the young boy and his family for a speedy and full recovery. Just glad there were older kids who knew what to do and saved his life. Their parents should be very proud of them.
