This video is truly an epic act of heroism from a ten-year-old boy. You have to see it to truly believe how epic this kid is.
Gavin Keeney’s mother Lori Keeney suffers from epilepsy and the ten-year-old has gotten used to helping her with her sometimes daily struggle with the condition. Recently, he was playing in the backyard when he heard his mom having a seizure in the pool and he jumped into action!
He dived into the pool to rescue and was successful! Dragging her to the ladder all while making sure he had stayed above the water.
“I heard what was a lot of splashing and moving around,” he recalls. “I heard kind of yelling, but also drowning… so then I looked and saw her seizing and so I went and jumped in and got her back to the ladder.”
The moment was actually caught on the family’s security cameras so Lori was actually able to see her son, Gavin, come to her rescue like something out of a Marvel movie.
“Truly amazing thing to see, and I don’t normally get to see him in action and what he gets to do after I’m having a seizure,” she says. “This is the first time I actually got to see it just because of security cameras … so much pride in him… at the same time, it was heartbreaking to watch.”
Yeah, you read that right, this isn’t the first time either that Gavin has come to his mother’s rescue. Last year, he received an award for performing the Heimlich Maneuver on his mom when she was choking.
At an assembly in front of all his peers, Gavin was awarded a Saving a Life plaque by the Kingston Police Department. Police Chief Kasey Cox called Gavin a hero as he presented him with the plaque.
Let’s take a look at this LIFE SAVING VIDEO!
