YORK, UK — Trudy and Dave Hilary from York, U.K. faced every parents’ nightmare when their toddler, Zach, suffered a heart attack. Now a healthy 2-year-old, he is considered a medical marvel, thanks to his mother.
In January, Trudy, who is a paramedic, saw Zach had collapsed and was groaning. She started to perform CPR, The Telegraph reports, and called 999 (U.K.'s version of 911). Once a team of paramedics arrived, they took over resuscitation and transferred Zach to to the hospital. That’s when the family found out what had happened.
At the hospital, the boy was given three adrenalin shocks and eventually, Zach’s heart started beating normally. Medics say that Trudy’s commitment to CPR as well as help from the paramedics is what ultimately saved his life, itvNEWS reports.
