'If my hero son wasn't at home I wouldn't be here today'

A loving mum is "proud beyond belief" after her teenage son performed CPR on her for seven minutes saving her life.

Kathy Robinson, 39, told the ECHO she collapsed while upstairs in her Newton-le-Willows home on Friday, April 21. Kathy said she had never fainted before but the last she remembers was shouting downstairs to her 14-year-old son Billy Ward asking him what he wanted for his tea.

Speaking to the ECHO from her hospital bed this morning, Kathy said: "Billy heard a crash and sprinted up the stairs. He put me in the recovery position, rang an ambulance and immediately began to carry out CPR with compressions and mouth to mouth. He did it for seven minutes non stop - sweat was pouring off his forehead and dripping onto me.
