Aydhun
Byars may be only five years old, but he saved his mom's life this week.
Aydhun, who has a medical
condition that affects his hands, dialed 911 when his mom went into diabetic
shock on Monday, according to KMGH,
ABC's Denver affiliate.
Although he didn't know
his address, he eventually got the help his mom needed.
"I
don't know what mom is doing, but I need someone's help," he told the 911
operator, who tried to help him figure out his address for several minutes.
"I don't know what apartment we live in, and I'm not tall enough to reach
the doorknob."
Help eventually arrived,
and Aydhun's mom, Tarah Gunderlock, was unresponsive, according to the call.
She has type I diabetes,
meaning her pancreas produces little or no insulin, the hormone that breaks
down sugars and allows them to enter cells for energy. And she'd gone into diabetic
shock, according to KMGH.
The Aurora Fire Department
told ABC News that it provided care at Gunderlock’s home and did not need to
transport her to a hospital.
Gunderlock told the
station this week that her little boy was a superhero, and he'd told her that
his superpower was love.
"I was a little
scared but I was a lot calm," Aydhun told KMGH. "I just didn't know
what to do."
