9-year old saves 2-year-old sister
Tristin Saghin, 9, knew just what to do when his 2-year-old sister was found floating unconscious in the pool at his grandmother’s house in Mesa, Ariz. After the toddler was pulled from the water, Tristin started to perform chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation as his mother called for help. “I just went running outside and I did CPR on her. I knew what I was doing,” said Tristin, who said he learned the lifesaving technique while watching television. His sister started breathing again, and doctors said she would be fine. “She’s really beautiful,” Tristin said, “and I love her very much.”
