A Los Angeles County mom is lucky to be holding her 7-month-old son, thanks to a fast-acting sheriff's deputy on patrol.
Arjelia Lorenzo-Calleja and her family were driving in La Puente when she pulled over on the side of the road and saw what every mother dreads to see: her baby son, Sebastian, in the backseat, not breathing.
The mother panicked, and frantically called 911 for help. Arjelia happens to be a nurse: she says that she knows how to perform CPR, but in her panic the life-saving maneuver didn't come to mind.
Sheriff's Deputy Erik Nava received the call, and made it to the scene in a matter of seconds. He found the baby pale and limp. There, he performed CPR on the baby for five to six minutes until an ambulance came to take Sebastian to the hospital. But the baby was revived by Nava in a matter of minutes and began to breathe and move again on his own before he was taken away for observation.
The mother revealed that her son has a pre-existing pulmonary condition, which makes it hard for him to breathe.
Now Nava is being credited with saving the baby. And this save is a special one for the deputy, who also has a 7-month-old son at home! He even checked up on baby Sebastian at the hospital, who is doing just fine.
If you're impressed by this deputy's quick thinking and skill, please SHARE!
