3-year-old boy saves grandmother’s life
Published: January 11, 2007
In an instant, 3-year-old Luca Gasbarrino went from rambunctious little devil to Nonni’s guardian angel.
It was surprising to his parents, Janelle and Lenny, since he’s a boy who’s used to getting in trouble.
“I was impressed because he’s two weeks removed from cutting his own hair,” Lenny Gasbarrino jokes.
“I didn’t know he had it in him,” Janelle laughs. “As you can see he’s a typical three-year-old rambuctious little boy.”
The active little Luca was with the grandfather when he heard the beeping of 66-year old Patricia Rennie’s respirator. Her hose had slipped out. Luca rode his scooter into her room to see what was wrong.
“My mom says she mouthed to him, ‘Go get your grandfather,’” Janelle says.
When Luca couldn’t find his grandfather, he took action.
“I put the tube back on,” he remembers.
“He knows he’s not allowed to go in there and touch any of that machinery, that equipment, because her life depends on it,” says Lenny. “But he just knew at that time it was okay to go up there and take matters in his own hands.”
That’s how the little devil became an angel in his family’s eyes.
“He really did end up saving her life,” Janelle says. “He’s her little guardian angel.”
