A 13-year-old boy from Bay Village, Ohio, performed CPR on his mother after she suffered cardiac arrest, saving her life. Dion Hogue acted quickly and calmly when his mother, Anna Foran, collapsed while they were giving their family dog a bath. He followed the instructions of 911 operators and performed CPR until emergency responders arrived.
The Bay Village community is rallying around a local woman after she suffered cardiac arrest over a week ago. Thankfully, Anna Foran said she's still alive and credits her recovery to a special person in her life: her 13-year-old son, Dion Hogue. \Foran told News 5 on Wednesday that she is incredibly grateful to Hogue for performing CPR and saving her life. The frightening situation unfolded on Sunday, January 26th while they were giving their family dog a bath.
'She started to get very pale, and then she just collapsed,' said Dion Hogue. Trying not to panic, Hogue said he sprang into action, performing CPR with no prior experience. 'I was on the phone with the police (911). They told me to give CPR. They walked me through it and when I was doing CPR, I felt a rib break and they told me if I didn’t do that, she wouldn’t have lived,' said Hogue. \Minutes later, Bay Village Police officers arrived at their home to continue CPR and transport Foran to a local hospital where her older brother, Keith Crayton, was waiting. 'For somebody (Dion) to see mom go under cardiac arrest and stop breathing being 13 years old, that’s a lot of pressure. He did a great job. The EMS guided him through. He was home alone, and he brought my mom back to life,' said Crayton. Foran said she doesn't remember much except hearing a spiritual voice. 'I saw the light, and my dad, he said, I heard his voice very clear as day, he said 'Get up,” said Foran. Foran said she followed it and got up. Now, she said she's preparing for a long road to recovery with support from her family and community. Foran said she is also thankful to everyone, including all the first responders, and a dear friend who started a meal train to feed her family. 'I know it’s a reason for me to be here with my children, with my family, just in general,’ said Foran. ‘It’s been a lot of support, but they say it takes a village and in Bay Village, we definitely are a village.
