4-Year-Old Rescues Uncle From Seizure
Published: August 1, 2007
A small boy in St. Louis, Missouri, is being called a hero.
Damarion Johnson, 4, knew exactly what to do when his uncle had a medical emergency last Tuesday.
“He just did a phenomenal thing last week,” said uncle John Johnson.
Johnson, 30, said he was babysitting his little nephew. Johnson suddenly began to have a seizure.
“I was scared,” Damarion said.
Johnson said he vaguely remembers what happened.
“I heard (Damarion) call my name. I heard him begin to cry and I kind of went out of consciousness.”
Damarion stood on a chair to unlock the front door of the apartment. He spotted a neighbor in the hallway and asked him to accompany him down the elevator to call police.
“Just for him to have the consciousness to put it all together … is beyond amazing,” Damarion’s uncle said.
Johnson said Demarion was never taught how to respond to emergencies. In fact, Damarion had never seen his uncle have a seizure.
“Sometimes I think we belittle children because we don’t think that they can handle themselves in certain situations,” Johnson said. “But I think there’s an instinctual thing.”
