Being a police officer is often a thankless job, but the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to helping others do it because it’s the right thing to do, not because they want to be called a hero.
When a North Texas police officer rescued a three-year-old little boy who stopped breathing, he did it because a child’s life was on the line and never expected to get anything in return. “I thought my life was over when it happened. I mean, he is my life,” mom Bethany Hoover said of her son, Brayden Geis.
Brayden had been visiting his mom at work when his fever spiked, he started having a seizure and stopped breathing. “His eyes were rolling further and further in the back of his head, and it was just something you never want to see your son do,” said Brayden’s father, John Geis.
Officer Chase Miller was nearby and heard a call on his radio, and decided to head to the location since he was close by even though he hadn’t been dispatched. Once on the scene, he took Brayden and calmly started performing CPR. “Just trying to get him breathing,” Miller said. “Everything else that’s going on around you doesn’t matter at that point.” Thankfully, Miller was able to revive the toddler.
Miller never expected he’d ever see Brayden or his family ever again, but he has since been honored by Granbury’s City Council for his quick thinking and was thrilled to see Brayden there. “It feels good to know that he’s all right,” Miller said. “I’m very thankful.” And before the night was over, Brayden hugged his hero to thank him. “He’s going to know who saved his life,” John Geis said.
