@abcnews: An Illinois man saved his neighbor's choking child in a moment that was captured in doorbell camera footage. In the video, the child's mother, Stephanie George, can be seen running over to her neighbor's house carrying her 7-year-old son. George's son, Sebastian, has a rare genetic condition called Cornelia de Lange syndrome and eats through a feeding tube, she told Chicago ABC affiliate WLS-TV. On Saturday evening, a piece of chicken that didn't blend up finely enough became lodged in Sebastian's throat, and she quickly realized he was choking. Fearing it would take emergency responders too long to arrive, George grabbed her son and carried him across the street to the home of her neighbor, Gary Hutchinson. In the moment captured on the doorbell camera, Hutchinson can be seen answering the door, then laying Sebastian across his knee and gently hitting him on the back until the stuck food was dislodged. Hutchinson said he has taken CPR training and is grateful he was able to help his neighbors in their time of need.

The calmest "I'm panicking" I've ever seen. which probably made the process a whole lot better for everyone involved

Remaining calm during a stressful moment is a strength, not a weakness .

Checking on momma. Asking if she’s ok. Telling her to take a breath. Telling the kid sorry if he scared him 🥺🥺 protect this man

everyone's hating on her being calm instead of frantically freaking out? causing mistakes to happen in the case of panick

“His lips are turning blue and I don’t know what to do” broke my heart for all the mamas who experience this type of moment. Feeling helpless for your kids is the worst feeling imaginable.

I'm a nurse and my boy came in the room choking and I definitely didn't how to react for a second 😳 then I went into nurse mode, once he was ok I went into melt down mom mode. You can not judge her reaction!!

just fyi if your child is choking you need to hit their back VERY HARD like so hard it feels like you could bruise/break something. "a bruise or broken bone is better than a lost child"

No one has the right to judge on how the mom sought out help. You never know how you will react in that exact moment. She did amazing and saved her son’s life
