A feel good story.
A feel good story.
A Georgia mother says her infant son is alive today because of two neighborhood boys, ages 9 and 10, who showed her how to perform CPR when the 12-week-old baby suddenly stopped breathing.
Susanna Rohm, who lives in Marietta, she noticed something was “off” about her young son, Isaiah, on the frightening day last week. The boy had stopped responding to her and gone limp; when Rohm put her finger under his nose, she realized he wasn’t breathing.
She ran outside and yelled for someone to call 911, and two boys who were playing football, 9-year-old Rocky Hurt and 10-year-old Ethan Wilson, rushed to help her. Rohm says she was panicking, splashing water on the baby’s face and trying to do CPR.
The boys stopped her.
“I told her to push on the baby’s chest five to 10 times with only two fingers, tilt back the baby’s head, plug the baby’s nose and breathe into the baby’s mouth,” Rocky told WXIA.
Rohm says the boy said it so confidently that she listened to him right away. Within seconds, the baby began screaming.
“I told her that’s a good sign because the baby’s breathing,” Rocky said.
Paramedics arrived a short time later. Rohm told another , that the baby spent two nights in the hospital, was diagnosed with sleep apnea and is being watched by doctors.
According to WAGA, the scare happened last Monday.
Rohm said she had never met the boys before, who live near her in Marietta, which is outside of Atlanta.
The boys say they learned CPR from posters in the cafeteria at their school, Sedalia Park Elementary.
“We just wanted to know just in case it happened,” Ethan said, “but we never knew that we’d have to do that.”

Absolutely fantastic! As an instructor trainer for the Red Cross, this story makes it all worthwhile. A nine and ten year old can do it and saved this infant's life because they read the poster. CPR/AED and First Aid should be taught to children at the age of 8 and up. Depending on the child, he/she would be able to something which is better than nothing and remember it is the compressions that is most important.
Thanks for posting this story.

The paperwork got hung up due to some troll claiming residence since being evicted from Hamilton.

Jack Hoffman. Read it and watch the video.
Jack Hoffman. Read it and watch the video.
Every year there are a few feel good sports stories. This year, Jack Hoffman's 69-yard touchdown run during the 2013 Nebraska Spring game gave everyone in attendance something to cheer about in what will be one of 2013's brightest sports moments. In the YouTube video "Jack Hoffman with a 69 yard touchdown in the 2013 Nebraska Spring Game" you can watch a touching moment for the young Jack Hoffman as he runs 69 yards for the touchdown.
The video has gone viral and also has been showed on TV across the nation. The YouTube video was posted on April 6 and it already has over two million views. Jack Hoffman and Nebraska University's football program reminded millions of people of why sports can be so special.
Jack Hoffman is a 7-year-old brain cancer patient from Nebraska who, according to ESPN.com, found out he had a brain tumor back in April 2011. Jack has since had two surgeries and is taking a break from his 60-week chemotherapy course.
According to ESPN, Nebraska running back Rex Burkhead became friends with Jack last year, even becoming captain of the support network "Team Jack." Football operations director Jeff Jamrog and fullback C.J. Zimmerer came up with the idea to have Jack participate in the spring game.
On fourth and one, quarterback Taylor Martinez handed the ball off to Jack, who followed blockers down field into the end zone. A crowd of over 60,000 cheered as Jack scored the TD and he was lifted onto the shoulders of Nebraska football players. Both sidelines cleared to celebrate with Jack in the end zone.
The video is touching and awesome to see. Sometimes sports can provide moments like this that helps fans remember there is more to life than the final score of a game. Seven-year-old Jack Hoffman was a part of a great moment on Saturday when he ran for a 69-yard-touchdown during the 2013 Nebraska football spring game. You can watch the video below.
