Brandy Lancaster had one thing on her mind as she was racing down the road driving between 90-100 MPH - get her choking toddler to the hospital. But, even in her panic, she couldn't help but notice something strange happening behind her.
The panicked mom had her 20 month old son, who had been diagnosed with croup and strep throat, strapped in the car as she rushed to get him to the ER while he was choking on his vomit after he hit his head.
She realized a stranger driving behind her was keeping up with her high speeds as she headed to the hospital, but she had no idea why.
Lancaster explained in a Facebook post that the woman tailing her was a nurse. The stranger helped to save her unresponsive child's life by rushing to the car as soon …show more content…
That baby was diagnosed with croup and strep throat Saturday morning.
That baby was also at the ER Saturday night after hitting his head on a tile floor — I was carrying him when I slipped/fell on a restaurant floor.
That baby spent all Sunday at doctor offices bc his sister also has strep, I’m sick, & his Daddy is sick.
That baby had a fever this evening.
That baby puked all over himself, me, & the kitchen.
That baby puked again in the car on the way to the ER, causing him to begin choking.
Nurse, that baby needed you tonight & you pulled through for him, without knowing what the situation entailed. You followed us down GA400 and into the ER parking lot. You checked on my son, who was buckled in his car seat NOT responding. You rushed him inside the hospital and knew just what to say, to get him the help he needed.
Lord knows, his Mommy was a wreck & was not making much sense. You acted on your instinct when you definitely did NOT have to & for that myself and my entire family is FOREVER grateful! In the midst of everything going on, I never got your name nor do I recall expressing to you JUST how very thankful I am for everything you did and that you cared enough to help! Thank you, thank you, thank
