He took the child from his mom and started doing CPR. He also performed back thrusts on the child to help him spit the food out.

The very thing I can do is to pray, pray, and pray earnestly for God’s protection, guidance, and may the Lord fulfill His purposes for your life. I love you so much Nak! Missed You!”
