Jones County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Stephen Graeser performed CPR and rescue breathing on a unresponsive four month old male child at a residence on Red Hill Florence Road in northeastern Jones County on Wednesday.

 

The child suffered a medical emergency, was not breathing, and was already turning blue when Sergeant Graeser arrived on scene.

The child was transported by EMServ Ambulance Service to South Central Regional Medical Center and later airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center with a pulse. No further updates are available yet on the child's condition.

 

"Our personnel are trained in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Rescue Breathing which Sergeant Graeser performed for several minutes until advanced medical care arrived," notes Sheriff Joe Berlin. "We are praying for this child and his family. Sergeant Graeser's actions in administering medical care to this child and giving him a chance at survival were exemplary."

 

Multiple JCSD units responded to the scene to assist along with EMSERV.
