Not sure where to post, but here goes.

This morning on my local news channel, they had a story of a 4 year old hero. He is the tiniest cutest little guy. Anyhoo, his mother went into a diabetic coma. Jake took a chair, pushed it to the counter, climbed up and took out some Reeses cups. He tried to put them into his mother's mouth, then tried some juice from the refridgerator. He has his own cell phone just for things like this, so he called his father and 911 (pre set numbers). By the time the paramedics got there, mother was starting to respond. They did notice the boy gave it his all to get candy into her mouth since her face was covered with the chocolate.

Mother said later, they taught him right from the beginning what to do if she got into trouble.

Just thought you all would like to hear some happy endings

Smart little boy! :D My granddaughter was taught what to do since she was small. The first time she did anything at all, was when she was last year when she was 10. We were shopping and I needed to sit down, and she said I was talking "funny". She bought a Pepsi and insisted I drink some. Got just enough to realize I was low and to have her buy us some lunch. Now I have to be careful to watch for lows, someone is always trying to stuff some candy in my mouth.

What a great story with a happy ending! You don't hear those very often these days. My kids knew what to do if they had to, and my mother was type 1 and I knew at a young age what to do for my mom. It's vitally important for family, and friends, to know what to do in case of an emergency. Now, if only I could teach my kritters...................:D

hey critters can learn or at least sense. We have a cocker who is attached to my hubby at the hip lol...When he had heart surgery she sat up on our bed and stared at him all night long, I can tell when he isn't feeling well, because she will constantly be right by him almost to the point of being under foot.
