The 8 year old saw that his younger brother had ingested cleaner from under the sink and had stopped breathing dialed 911 and called for EMTs as well as hollering for his Mom who administered CPR until the EMTs arrived; Brother is now fine.

The 14 year old was in the family car returning from vacation at night when the car left the highway and rolled several times. Mom, Dad were injured and bleeding, sister was ejected from the car, Scout had a gash on his leg. He treated his Mom, then treated his Dad and his Mom by now was able to help. He then went to his sister treated her and got her breathing on her own again. He then walked a mile barefoot across the Arizona desert to the light he saw to call 911 then walked back to stay with his family until help came. All are healthy, though still in wheel chairs temporarily to the healing is complete.

Almost forgot,.. the Scout hadn’t treated his own wounds and refused treatment by the EMTs until all in his family had been treated by the EMTs.

Everyone save the 8 year old Cub got to taste Hospital Food, some more often than others.
