Rescuer(s):Tyler Kalmowitz
After a relaxing weekend away, a family evening took a terrifying turn. As a father and husband settled in to watch TV with his wife, he suddenly collapsed. His wife's quick recognition of the emergency and her cry for help set a life-saving chain of events in motion.
Their son, Tyler, without hesitation, started performing CPR on his father, guided by his mother. Meanwhile, his sister stayed on the line with 911, providing crucial information and support. Within eight minutes, two police officers arrived, finding Tyler still courageously administering CPR.
They quickly connected the father to an AED machine, and after one shock, he regained consciousness. Thanks to the swift actions of his family and the timely arrival of the police, the father's life was saved. This story is a testament to the importance of CPR training, the power of family bonds, and the critical role of first responders.
