HERO

On February 21, 2014 in Miami, there was a 5 month year old baby who stopped breathing while him and his aunt were stuck in traffic. The baby started crying because the car stopped moving and that's most case scenarios for most babies. The aunt reported that the baby was already sick and congested so when he got quiet, the aunt got worried, stopped the car, jumped out and found out that the baby was not breathing. The aunt did not know what to do, so she started to do CPR on the child. Another woman was driving past the vehicle seen and heard her screaming for help so she pulled over to see what the problem was. When she pulled over and asked what was going on, the baby aunt said that the child had stop breathing. The woman who pulled over started to do CPR. It's different for adults and children so when she did it the correct way, the baby started to breathe again. They kept the baby breathing until the ambulance arrived. The baby stayed alive and breathing while on the way to the hospital. Now the baby is in good condition.

CHILD (CPR)









Usually you don't find many stories like this with good Samaritans helping out those who are in need.  That lady didn't have to stop and help save the baby. But, there are still good people in this world. One may ask where they are? They are out there! What that lady did was brave. Another key thing that play a factor in  this is the speed and pace at which the ambulance responded. In other countries it's wait to to arrive to a destination is 15-20 minutes. In Miami, the wait time has to be less because the baby stayed breathing until they arrived. I know the wait time wasn't anything more because a baby who stops breathing cannot just stay breathing off of CPR for more than 10-15 minutes. It's good to know that they will be at your rescue quick fast and a hurry.

When I heard about this story, I was happy and interested in how the baby actually stayed alive. If I was in that situation, I wouldn't have known what to do. First you have to keep yourself together and not freak out because that would only make things worse. Secondly you have to ask for help. Lastly, do everything in your power to help. Sometimes when you are not together or freak out, you can't focus or think. That is why it is best to calm down and take caution into what is going on. I am happy that they were able to get a 5 month year old baby to stay alive and keep breathing.
