5-Year-Old Saves Mom’s life during Seizure

Tyrion’s morning with his mom started off the same as it always does, and then it took an unexpected turn. After getting ready for their day, he found his mom unresponsive and couldn’t wake her up. She was having an epileptic seizure. Even though he was scared, this five-year-old jumped into action and yelled out, “Alexa call Gigi!” Tyrion’s grandma was an hour away and received his call at work. She notified 911, and after calming him down explained that the police were coming, and instructed him to open the door when they arrive. When they got to his house, Tyrion struggled with the door but followed instructions to get it open. He took the police and EMTs to his mom and answered all their questions while they cared for his mom who was still unresponsive. Tyrion rode with his mom in the ambulance and waited at the hospital until his grandma arrived. This is just one more way Tyrion has inspired his loved ones with his ability to overcome challenges. Tyrion was born premature and continues to undergo speech and occupational therapies. He was nominated as a Hero by his grandma who was so proud of his courage in taking action and doing whatever necessary to save his mom. KidsWish Network is so honored to award Tyrion as a Hero of the Month.
