In February of 2024, I responded to an emergency call regarding an unresponsive six-month-old infant at a local motel. Upon arrival, I immediately assessed the situation and determined the child was unresponsive and in critical condition. Without hesitation, I began lifesaving measures, initiating CPR and continuing care with calm focus and urgency. Through decisive action and adherence to training, I was able to restore the child’s responsiveness and sustain life until additional first responders arrived on scene and assumed medical care.
