A Greenville, Georgia police officer has formed a touching bond with a baby after saving her life.
On Saturday, September 24, Patrol Officer Kenneth Knox responded to a "child choking" call. Upon arrival, he found a 2-month-old girl, who wasn't breathing.
"I had fed her an hour prior to her choking," mother Kristen Parham told FOX 5 Digital Producer Katie Muse. "We were sitting outside, in my car, and all of a sudden she started gasping for air and white stuff was coming out of her nose and mouth."
Parham said the baby's father jumped off the porch, and attempted to save his daughter.
"We both didn't know what to do, so I called 911," Parham said.
Ma'Yavi was turning blue, according to her parents, but, thankfully, Officer Knox responded to the call.
"He laid her on the couch and he did [reverse] CPR on her, and he sucked the cereal out of her throat," Parham said.
The infant began breathing again, smiled at the officer, and started crying, which Knox described in a heartfelt post on Facebook as "music to his ears."
