DOVER, Del. (AP) - A Smyrna High School student used CPR to save the life of an 18-month-old child at a Dover Chick-fil-A.
Theresa'lyn Outten tells local media she was having lunch with her sister Monday at the Chick-fil-A when she "heard a commotion" and saw a toddler struggling to breathe.
Outten, an 18-year-old high school senior, sprang to action and performed CPR on the child as others called 911. She then began performing chest compressions.
Outten says the toddler was awake and alert when medics arrived. The child was taken to Ken General Hospital.
The teen says she attributes her skills and quick thinking to the training she received in her Allied Health class at Smyrna High School.
