Victoria O’Neal and her husband, Derrick Stroud, recently welcomed three kids. They are happy about it. Unluckily, not long after, danger came. One afternoon, Victoria noticed that one of their babies, Amelia, was having trouble breathing. She called Derrick and asked him to return home to take their little one to the hospital.

Derrick came home and took 9-week-old Amelia to the hospital. After he found his daughter’s condition was worsening, he raced to the hospital in Greenville. On the way, the police Matthew Brown stopped Derrick’s speeding car. After looking at baby Amelia, Matthew said he knew he had to move quick to save her life. “When I got there, the baby was unresponsive(没反应的) sitting in the child’s seat,” Matthew said. “I turned her head towards me and I could see that her lips started to go blue and she was having a lot of trouble breathing. Once I got her out of the seat, she started to breathe a little bit better. Her blueness started to go away and I started to rub(按摩) her back and make her keep awake.” Once Matthew got Amelia to respond, a medical unit was called and she was taken to a local hospital.

This was beyond a scary situation. It’s terrifying to think of the baby’s life without the quick help of Matthew. Amelia’s parents are so thankful for his knowledge and what he did to save their kid. Victoria says she would not have known what to do if it was her in this situation.
