11 YEAR OLD SAVES NANA WITH CPR
It’s never too soon to start teaching your children CPR.
When Kendall, 11, heard noises coming from her grandmother, she didn’t hesitate.
“I heard these weird noises, so I turned my head and it was my nana, and she was drenched in sweat, so I turned her over and ran to her side and started to do CPR,” explained Kendall.
The paramedics were surprised to find such a young person handling such a serious emergency so calmly.
Even Kendall’s family didn’t know she could do CPR.
“My nana, she taught me when I was little, just incase it happened tony papa,” said the fifth-grader.
According to the paramedics and fire department who responded to the 9-1-1 call, had Kendall not acted so quickly and performed CPR, her grandmother would not have survived.
“My brain just, like, said I had to do it.”
