CHICAGO (CBS) — The Chicago Fire Department on Thursday honored a man who saved a little girl’s life as he left a Cubs game last month.
Trauma nurse Justin Mis told CBS 2 he was walking home from Wrigley Field along Waveland Avenue when he came across a family with a baby who was having a medical emergency.
Mis performed CPR on the girl, who was only 3 or 4 months old at the time and was in cardiac arrest.
He continued to perform CPR until the ambulance arrived.
Mis said the baby has made a full recovery and was in the right place at the right time.
