On September 26, 2013, I found my 5 month 9 day old little boy Aspire Christopher laying lifeless, bundled in his favorite blue blanket that I had swaddled him in for his mid-afternoon nap not long before. When I went to wake him and he didn't stir, an indescribable amount of panic flooded my body...a tide wave of fear and instinct. I knew my son was gone as I quickly unwrapped him. I reached for the phone instinctively pushing 911 and quietly screaming "My son! My sons not breathing! Make my son OK!" Knowing I probably didn't make sense to many but myself, I had no clue what to do. I had always been educated that if there is an emergency, call 911...but then what? I helplessly listened to the voice on the other ends instructions. First, lay my son flat on the floor (the bed is to soft and therefore less effective) then place my mouth over Aspire's nose AND mouth and give 2 gentle breaths. (I had taken adult CPR and thought I knew when giving CPR in general, you always pinched the nose and blew breaths into the mouth simultaneously) Then the operator explained how I needed to take my pointer and middle fingers and gently but firmly press right below my sons nipples and compress-one and two and three and four and five and... until I got to 30. Each compression 1 and 1/2 inches down or about one-third the depth of his chest. (Much deeper then I would of naturally thought but a far cry from the double handed compressions you learn with adult CPR.) Unfortunately I only got to 11 before I heard the screams of the sirens and moments later, Aspire was pronounced dead on arrival. Our goal is to propose that for ALL new parents that it become a MANDATORY REQUIREMENT TO BECOME CERTIFIED IN INFANT CPR. It can and it WILL save lives. When in the hospital directly after giving birth or upon adoption, we learn basic water safety skills as well as simply how to correctly change a diaper and on to umbilical cord and circumcision care. It is not understandable why infant CPR is not an undeniable part of learning to care for your newborn baby. Banning together we can make a difference to change this flaw though and help save the helpless.
