Mum’s 5-Year-Old ‘Miracle Boy’ Saves Her Life

After suffering a heart attack, 5-year-old boy saved his mother’s with his quick thinking, Yahoo Parenting reports.

According to the media; Williams, 43, suffered a heart attack Sunday evening when the two were home alone together, and began feeling sick and sweaty and eventually passed out. Tommy then grabbed his mom’s cellphone and called his father, Jonathan Malone. His dad instructed him to go and get the neighbours.

Melissa said,  “Got [to the hospital] within an hour of the onset of the heart attack, and the doctors said that was really good. [The doctor] shook this one’s little hand because he said he was the reason I got here so early, he is my little hero.”

“That’s especially true”, she added, because Tommy was born three years after she had her tubes tied. “They kept telling me that he was my miracle baby, and the doctor told me last night that ‘your miracle baby saved you.’”

Williams told ABC News she underwent a successful cardiac catheterization Sunday night at Holston Valley Medical Center, and was sent home from the hospital’s intensive care unit on Wednesday.

With heart attacks, according to the American Heart Association, brain damage can start to occur within just 4 to 6 minutes after the heart stops pumping blood. In addition, if no CPR is provided, and until emergency defibrillation, a victim’s chances of survival are reduced by 7 to 10 percent with every minute — making Tommy’s efforts life-saving indeed.
