A three-year-old toddler from the United Kingdom was recently hailed as a hero after he saved his father's life. The dad of the toddler went into a diabetic shock and the kid force-fed two cups of yogurt to his father in order to keep his sugar level up.
Mommy Page reported that the father, identified as Mark, 38, has Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetic patients' bodies could not make insulin so he has to take it four times each day. As for the case of Mark, he has a set of schedule to ensure that his blood sugar levels are stable so the diabetic shock was out of the ordinary and the family did not expect that at all.
His wife, Emma, said that she left her son, Lenny-George, and her husband alone as she went to check on her mother. The distance between their home and her mother was only two minutes via car. She was away for 30 minutes and when she returned home, she knew that something was wrong when he son told her that he saved his father.
Emma recounted, "It was a Sunday night, I needed to nip to my mom's, which is literally two minutes around the corner by car, and I left them watching CBeebies together. I'd been out for about 30 minutes, and when I got back they were lying on the sofa." Accordingly, the blood sugar of Mark dipped to 1.1, which is dangerous as blood sugar is supposed to be between four and seven.
Mark collapsed and Lenny-George reportedly grabbed two cups of yogurt. The child was not able to find spoon so he used a knife from his toy kitchenware to feed the yogurt to his father.
Emma said that she had no idea how their son managed to get the yogurt from the fridge but it was possible he used his small chair in order to get the food. If and when Lenny-George was not a quick thinker, his father would have ended up in a diabetic coma, Life Daily reported.
Emma also said that she and her husband are surprised because they never talked to their son about the diabetic condition of Mark. So, what are thoughts on the toddler's heroic act? Sound off below and check out Parent Herald for more news and updates.
