Nurses spend most of their lives trying to help others and keep them safe. One Ohio nurse is being hailed a hero for going above and beyond the call of duty to save a baby seconds from drowning.
This past weekend, a devastating flash flood ripped through Green Township, Ohio and left people fighting for their lives as water level quickly rose above waist height. It happened so suddenly, in fact, that one couple was left frozen in shock as their car started to sink with them and their baby trapped inside.
Thankfully, a nursing home worker spotted the young family getting pulled under the water, and waded out into the dangerous water to save them. “The water’s probably midway on my waist, and then I tell them, ‘We got to get the baby out, you need to give me the baby, we need to go,’” Sandra Paterson said.
“The water was rising quickly,” said Patterson. “We only had a few seconds to get the baby out.” Luckily, she was able to pull the baby out and the parents managed to get free with just seconds to spare. “Within a matter of seconds, the car was under,” she said.
