Enter Arbaugh, who Long described as a “guardian angel,” to restore life to the breathless baby Myles.

“I threw my headset. I ran outside. I took the baby and I started to do chest compressions on the baby and then he finally started to breathe,” Arbaugh explained. “When my kids were little, my daughter had a similar incident, so I knew what she was feeling. I knew if I kept her calm and I stayed calm, there was no thought in my mind that the baby wasn’t going to breathe again.”

It was this calm which Long credits for saving her baby’s life.

“We couldn’t be more grateful to Becky. She saved my son’s life,” Long emphasized.

However, while Arbaugh may be hailed as a hero, she says as a mother, she simply saw another mother in need of help.
