Boy shows mom how to do CPR, saving infant’s life


Georgia – A 9-year-old boy and his 10-year-old friend are being hailed as heroes after helping a woman whose baby stopped breathing. One boy gave instructions on how to CPR while the other boy waited for an ambulance.
Susanna Rohm said that she was holding her 2-month-old son Isaiah in her lap when she realized something was wrong.
“I noticed he looked pale and so I looked at his arm and his leg and they  were limp,” said Rohm. “Then I noticed that he looked like he wasn’t alive.”
Scared and home alone, the Marietta mother couldn’t remember how to give CPR.
She jumped up and lost her cellphone in the commotion. There wasn’t a landline  in the house, so she stepped outside to get help.
Ethan Wilson and Rocky Hurt were tossing a football in a front yard. Rocky then ran over to help.
“He came in and I had my hand on my baby’s chest just screaming and the little boys said, ‘put two fingers on his stomach,’” said Susanna.  ”He  said, ‘press down five times,’ so I did five compressions, and then he said,  ‘breathe in his mouth.’”
After a few minutes little Isaiah belted out a loud cry. An ambulance arrived  moments later.
