A 10-year-old Oklahoma boy saved his mother from drowning when she had a seizure in their backyard pool, and the dramatic security camera footage was captured and shared by the family.
Gavin Keeney saved his mother, Lori, on August 5 in Enos, Oklahoma and marked the second time he was her hero after attempting a Heimlich maneuver and calling 911 when his mother choked on food in 2021. In the video, Lori begins to convulse in their pool, and Gavin quickly rushes up the ladder and dives in.
He makes his way to his drowning mom and lifts her chin above the water, and reportedly did not call for help at all.
Gavin is unable to lift his mom out of the pool, but his grandpa Stephen Lowe appears in the frame toward the end of the clip, and is able to lift both to safety.
Lori called it 'one of the scariest moments of my life.'
'He’s been through so much with me and my health and he handles it with such grace and maturity,' Keeney said. 'Proud isn't enough of a word!'
