Baltimore boy credited with saving stepmom's life

A -SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SNOW FRIDAY.
>> WELL A 10-YEAR-OLD BALTIMORE
BOY IS BEING HAILED AS A HERO
FOR HIS QUICK THINKING WHEN HIS
STEP MON SUFFERED AN ASTHMA
ATTACK AND COLLAPSED.
THIRD GRADER LOGAN ROLLED HERE
ON HER SIDE AND CALLED 911.
HE STAYED ON THE LINE, HE HAD TO
HAIL DOWN THE AMBULANCE AND KEEP
HIS 3-YEAR-OLD SISTER CALM.
THIS HANDSOME YOUNG MAN IS HERE.
WE WERE GOING TO LISTEN TO YOUR
STEPMOM TALK ABOUT WHAT A HERE
OW YOU ARE.
I JUMPED INTO YOU, BECAUS
YOU'RE SO AWESOME.
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.
>> SO I CAME OVER AFTER SCHOOL,
AND I WALKED IN.
NO ONE WAS -- USUALLY, THEY'RE
THERE.
TRYING TO GET SOMETHING TO
DRINK.
AND SHE WASN'T SO I WENT
UPSTAIRS AND MISS TONYA WAS
COUGHING, LIKE ON THE SIDE OF
THE BED AND I TRIED TO ROLL HER
OVER.
AND SHE TOLD ME TO CALL MY MOM
ON HER PHONE.
AND CALLED THE POLICE ON MY
PHONE.
WAIT.
I CALLED THE POLICE ON HER PHONE
AND CALLED MY MOM ON MY PHONE.
>> WHEN YOU WERE ON THE PHONE
WITH THE OPERATOR, WERE YOU
SCARED AT ALL?
>> YES.
>> A LOT WAS GOING ON AT THE
TIME.
>> YES.
>> WHAT TYPES QUESTIONS DID THEY
ASK YOU?
>> WHERE DID YOU LIVE.
CAN YOU HELP US.
STAY WITH US ON THE LINE.
>> YOU DID SO WELL.
CHIEF ROMAN CLARK FROM THE CITY
OF BALTIMORE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
HERE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE
YOUNG MAN?
>> I THINK IT'S TRULY AMAZING
WHAT LOGAN DID.
THE FACT THAT HE WAS ABLE TO
STAY ON THE LINE WITH THE
OPERATORS AND ALSO HE WAS
ACTUALLY MANNING TWO PHONES AT
ONE TIME.
THEN TO KNOW TO LEAVE HIS
STEPMOTHER AND GET OUTSIDE AND
HAIL THE AMBULANCE DOWN TO LET
THEM KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THEY
WERE WAS JUST TRULY AMAZING.
TO BE 10 YEARS OLD AND DO
SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE IS
AMAZING TO US ALL.
>> WHAT WAS THAT LIKE, HAILING
DOWN THAT AMBULANCE?
>> IT WAS A LITTLE HARD, BECAUSE
I HURT MY ARM SO I WAS WORRIED
ABOUT MY ARM.
>> YOU HAD TO PROTECT YOUR ARM,
PROTECT YOUR SISTER, PROTECT
YOUR STEPMOM, GET THE AMBULANCE
IN THERE.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU
DID, HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL?
>> MAKES ME FEEL PRETTY GOOD.
>> YOU SHOULD FEEL GOOD.
YOU HAD ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS
IN THE CLASSROOM FROM YOUR
CLASSMATES, DIDN'T YOU?
>> YEAH.
>> THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU
DID.
HE DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT ALL
CHILDREN TO BE ABLE TO DO.
>> ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
CALL 911, TRY TO STAY ON THE
LINE WITH THE OPERATORS BECAUSE
THEY CAN HELP WALK YOU THROUGH A
PROBLEM.
THIS IS NOT JUST FOR CHILDREN,
BUT FOR ADULTS AS WELL.
AND FOR THE MOST PART, IT IS
VERY HELPFUL, YOU KNOW, FOR THE
PATIENT THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH
AT THE TIME.
>> LOGAN, YOU SAID THE OPERATOR
ASKED YOU WHERE YOU LIVE SO
THERE'S SOME KEY INFORMATION YOU
NEEDED TO KNOW AND YOU KNEW IT
ALL.
YOUR PARENTS HAVE DONE A
WONDERFUL JOB WITH YOU.
ONE OF THE THINGS I REMEMBER
YOUR STEPMOM SAYING IS YOU HAD
PRACTICED WHAT TO DO IF
SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED TO
HER.
>> YES.
>> HOW IMPORTANT WAS THAT FOR
YOU WHEN YOU HAD TO JUMP INTO
ACTION?
>> PRETTY IMPORTANT.
MY MOM'S A NURSE SO SO SHE MAKES
YOU DO IT A LOT.
>> THAT'S FANTASTIC.
LOGAN, IT IS A PLEASURE TO MEET
YOU.
STICK AROUND FOR US.
WE WANT TO HAVE YOU HERE FOR
SUNDAY BRUNCH.
