Rocky Hurt and Ethan Wilson were playing football in their front yard in Marietta. Suddenly a woman they had never met ran out of her house shouting to them to call an ambulance. That woman was Susanna Rohm. Her 12-week-old baby seemed to stop breathing. She was so scared that she couldn’t find her cell phone . so she had decided to rush outside to ask for help.
After getting their parents to make the call, the two boys followed their mother to see if they could do anything to help. And help they did! As Susanna was trying to do CPR(心肺复苏术) on her baby. young Rocky came in and told her she was doing it all wrong. Instead he asked her to use two fingers, push on the chest 5-10 times, tilt(倾斜 ) the baby's head, plug(堵住) the nose and then do a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (复苏 ) by breathing into the baby's mouth. Luckily for him and the baby, Susanna accepted his advice for even a second and came a loud cry from the baby. Soon the doctors came and the baby was sent to hospital.
