A 5-year-old boy, Salvatore Cicalese, from San Tan Valley, Arizona, was able to save his mother by listening to his instincts.
He did all of this without having any training, instructions, or manuals, and no door or high switch could stop him.
Salvatore was sleeping when he heard a noise coming from the bathroom next door.
When he walked in, his mother was on the floor, not moving, and slouching over. She looked like she was out, but it was not Salvatore. He didn’t get scared, scream, or cry as other kids would have.
Instead, Salvatore wrapped his sister, who was only two months old at the time, in a blanket and carried her to the living room. After that, he rolled a bar stool to the garage and used it to reach the button that opens and closed the garage door.
He carried his little sister the whole way to the house of their next-door neighbour.
Jessica Penoyer, their next-door neighbour, said she was surprised to find the kids at her front door in the middle of the night.
“He’s standing there and holding something and I thought it was a doll,” said Penner to ABC15.
Penoyer was confused because she thought he was telling her their dog had died. But the young man insisted that it was his mother, who had died while she was taking a shower. Besides that, he asked her to take care of them.
Penoyer didn’t wait around and quickly called 911.
The first responders found the woman unconscious in the bathroom with the water running in the tub. If Salvatore hadn’t done anything, the situation would have ended in tragedy.
Honestly, he saved my life. I was under the faucet. If he wouldn’t have gotten help, I would have drowned,” Kaitlyn Cicalese, Salvatore’s mother, said to the local news channel.
What happened was that Kaitlyn had an episode of seizure. When she woke up in the hospital she recollected putting the kids to bed. Then a scary thing started to happen. Kaitlyn took a shower at the end of a long day. That’s the last thing she could remember doing.
