Basic CPR knowledge saved baby Isaac's life 🙏
A terrified mum has shared her story about how knowing basic first aid helped her save her six-week-old baby's life while she was on a trip to the Lake District.
“On the Monday morning we had packed the car and were ready to go home when Isaac started crying in his car seat. It’s normal for a baby to cry, but then he was having a coughing fit whilst he was crying and his face went blue, so I shouted for my husband Steven and between us we rang an ambulance.” Isaac was administered oxygen by GNAAS’ critical care team before being airlifted to the paediatric intensive care unit at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, where it was revealed that Isaac was suffering from bronchiolitis.
Isaac has since had a couple more bouts of bronchiolitis, and has a constant cough, but apart from that he’s recovered well and has since raised £730 for GNAAS with his two-year-old brother Elijah by walking, running and scooting 32 miles in a month.
