Brave boy Struan GILL'S McKENZIE took action when she fell from the outside of your home Stonehaven, rushing to the neighbor's house and ask for help.

The six-year-old student BRAVE helped save the life of his mother after she passed out on the sidewalk of your home.



Gill McKenzie was loading the car preparing to take their children out when she fell on the floor and turned blue.

Their young children watched in horror as she was out of the family home.

But the son of Struan Gill ran alongside to help and, with three others, neighbor Jackie Wilson managed to bring their mother back to life.

Gill, 42, said yesterday: "I do not remember any of it. Struan has since told me that I said: 'I feel weak, go get Aunt Jackie" - and that's what he did. "

The drama unfolded in Stonehaven, Kincardineshire, as she was getting her children Struan, Mirren, five and baby three months old, ready for a day Sula.

Jackie, a childhood friend of Gill, said: "Struan came to the door and I could tell immediately that something was wrong. He said, 'Mom feels weak - come get it.

"Mirren was screaming: 'My mummy, my mother, she's dead."

Jackie immediately called an ambulance to Gill, whose father had died three weeks earlier.

She said: "I thought Gill was gone. She was blue and his eyes were just fixed.

"Looking Gill, I thought, 'there's no way I'm telling your mother you died, not after what had happened to your father.'"

And with the guidance of phone from 999 employees, she and her friend Craig Gauld, who happened to be passing, performed CPR on Gill and has his breath.

The ambulance was delayed due to a traffic accident, but GPs Kris McLaughlin and Stuart Reary were sent from the local medical center.

They shocked twice Gill heart back into action with a defibrillator until the ambulance arrived.

She was taken to the ICU and put in an induced coma for a day and a half, before being told that she had suffered broken heart syndrome.

Gill said: "My heart stopped. It can be caused by a lot of stress or may be hormonal.'m Very blasé about the whole thing, because I do not remember any trauma."

She had an internal defibrillator installed as a precaution since the incident last November.

Gill, husband Andrew, Jackie and Craig go cycling in North run from Inverness to Aberdeen on August 30 and 31 to raise money for Sandpiper confidence so they can train more emergency responders.
