Wow, Gemma. Your family is so lucky that DH knew what to do. My Mum is a Senior First Aid Instructor with the Red Cross here in Brisbane and she is amazed and the number of parents who are not first aid trained. Most people just think they are too busy to attend a course or that it wont happen to them but it happens all the time.

If anyone reads this who isnt first aid trained, please learn from Gemma's post - it does happen. Pay the money and train yourself (especially as the EAR and CPR rules have changed recently). Even if it isnt your own child you save, you may be able to help someone else ....
