A heartwarming Christmas miracle was recounted on Friday night’s Late Late Show as a family thanked their neighbour for saving their little boy’s life.
Five-year-old Jack Gallagher began to choke while eating spaghetti – only to be rescued by a neighbour just five weeks after she had a kidney transplant.
Lorna McSwiggan Martin, a nurse, attempted the Heimlich manoeuvre and performed CPR for 10 minutes when the boy went into cardiac arrest until paramedics arrived. He spent two days at Crumlin Children’s Hospital but is now back home in Shankill, South Dublin, in time for Santa’s Christmas Eve visit.
