Mikey’s Kids Infant Saved with their MIKEY

,

We were just informed by one of our Mikey’s Kids families in Alberta, that their 1 year old foster child went into cardiac arrest last week, and they needed to use their MIKEY AED to revive them. The foster mom had the presence of mind to administer the pads within 20 seconds, and one shock brought the child back.

We are so grateful a MIKEY was available when this child needed it most, and that this mother was there to use it. This is the second infant in our Mikey’s Kids program to be saved with a MIKEY AED and a reminder that cardiac arrest can happen at any age.
