Five Year Old Saves Friend’s Life At Nixon Academy

Tuesday was a normal evening at the Roemheld household, with Mrs. Roemheld preparing dinner for her family as he always does.

That is until her son Blake, who attends transitional kindergarten at Nixon Academy, came in and chatted about his Monday lunch at school.

The story would both shock and delight Mrs. Roemheld.

“Mommy,” Blake said, “you shouldn’t have given me that steak (actually it was pot roast) in my lunch the other day.”

A bit surprised, Mrs. Roemheld said, “why, Blake you always love pot roast and veggies, it is your favorite.”

That is when Mrs. Roemheld heard why Blake did not want ‘steak’ anymore and why she is so happy that Blake knows Kaiden Thomas.

Blake went on to say, “while I was eating the steak at lunch a piece got stuck in my throat and I couldn’t breathe. I hit my friend’s arm, Kaiden, that was sitting next to me and he jumped up and came behind me and pushed on my chest.  The steak came flying out of my mouth, across the table onto the dirty ground.”

Mrs. Roemheld stood speechless as Blake told her the story about how Kaiden, a five year-old, performed the Heimlich maneuver and saved Blake’s life.

Mrs. Roemheld told HMG-CN how thankful and blessed that this “little angel boy” Kaiden was at the right place at the right time.

“I just had to call your newspaper and tell the story, I feel absolutely blessed to have Blake here with me, and that he had a friend in Kaiden.”
