Six-year-old Isaac Reyes is the talk of Hyannis. I saved my mom, he says, matter-of-fact, when State Rep. Kip Diggs asked the Barnstable West Barnstable first-grader Saturday what he did to earn recognition from the Massachusetts State House for hiheroism.
Isaac s mother Tatyana had recently returned home from having surgery. His dad Yael had just stepped out with Isaac s younger brothers, Noah and Lucas.
Tatyana s blood pressure and blood sugar dropped rapidly, and she was unresponsive on the floor of their apartment.
So Isaac dialed 911.
A Barnstable Police Dispatcher stayed on the line with Isaac, instructing him how to do chest compressions and assuring him that EMS was on the way.
