Newnan police honor doctor for pool CPR rescue

That surveillance video shows that in just 90 seconds one and a half year old Maddox went from contently playing in shallow water to lifeless and floating nearby and then the valiant effort of a doctor to jump in and bring him back to life. The video begins with the splash of mom Janae Shaw and then her snatching the body of her son from waist-high water. Hearing Janae screams, here comes Dr. Andrea Sansanay, who was picnicking with her family. Another bystander is there, that woman's identity unknown. At this moment, Dr. Sansanay tells me that Maddox had no pulse, he was not breathing, his lips were blue, so the doctor began immediate CPR. Let me introduce you to two-year-old Maddox, alive, healthy, thriving. His birthday was Thursday, same day as Dr. Andrea Sansone, the woman who breathed life back into him on that hot July day, sharing that in common with the boy she rescued. Newnham Police recognized the doctor's achievements in an award ceremony, a grateful community, and a profoundly thankful mother said, thank you, well done. I thank God every day, like when he's, even when he's getting on my nerves, I just thank God that she was there because he wouldn't make it. When it involves a child, it's something different, isn't it? I think it touches everybody's heart a little different when it's a child. Our children are our future. That's the most special individuals in our communities and it definitely hits a lot harder. Hits home. At that moment, I grabbed my baby and I said, my husband, take the baby. And I just jump in the pool, run. And I took the baby, I put the baby on the floor, and immediately I started CPR. Dr. Sansanay is from Venezuela. She is not yet practicing in the U.S. because she says she now has a toddler herself, a little girl. In Noonan, Doug Evans, Fox 5 News.
