This boy amazes me!

4-Year-Old Boy Saves Mom With 911 Call

THORNTON, Colo. -- A 4-year-old boy was honored Tuesday for saving his mother's life by calling 911 when she collapsed while making him lunch.
Tapes released Tuesday show Thomas "TJ" Roller calling 911 on Feb. 18 and telling the dispatcher, "My Mommy's sick. Can you please come over here? ... Can you pick her up?"

You can hear the phone call here, and I'll tell you, reading the story as well as hearing this little child save his mothers life truly touched me! The four year old boy knows how to use 911 and heard and understood when his mom taught him about it. He knows too that his mommy has a chronic illness, epilepsy, and that when she is sick she needs the people from 911 to send help. I'm truly amazed at how level-headed this child was through the call and listening brought tears to my eyes. I don't cry easy.

I think it felt really real to me as my God-son is the same age as this child, and his mom has epilepsy as well. I just was thinking that could be my own family, and that really made me feel proud for that boy.

There are so many times when tragedy happens from 911 callers thinking some child is misdialing, or playing a prank. I think honor is earned for the 911 operator too who drew out information from the child when it could have been very easy to dismiss a young child. He took him seriously and did his job well. Both guys deserve honor for saving her life.

This story is truly a blessing all around. You can read about it here, and you can read more here at the Denver Post
