A TODDLER who fell to the floor and stopped breathing in a Scotstoun flat had his life saved thanks to the help of a concierge.

Young Arron, 4, collapsed at his home in Kingsway Court last Thursday and turned blue - putting mum Christine Hepburn into panic mode.

After calling an ambulance, Christine buzzed down to the concierge station for help. That’s when Davie Murray, 53, rushed to her second floor flat, put Arron in the recovery position and kept him awake until paramedics arrived.

The youngster is now being looked after at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where he is on a ventilator.

Mum Christine said: “Davie helped save Arron’s life. He’s a hero.

“Arron had a fit, fell to the floor and couldn’t breathe.

“He was turning blue and I couldn’t get him to move. I was terrified.

“I phoned an ambulance and then buzzed the concierge to ask if anyone knew CPR.

“Davie was here so quickly. He turned Arron on his side, put a pillow under his head and kept him awake while I was on the phone to the paramedics.

“I was in a real panic but Davie was with Arron the whole time, holding his hand, saying his name, ruffling his hair until the ambulance arrived.

“He knew what he was doing.”

The toddler suffers from a narrowing of his windpipe and spent several weeks at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London recently because of his condition.

Christine added: “Arron’s okay now. He’s heavily sedated and he’ll be in hospital for at least a week.

“I would just like to say thank you to Davie. He helped save Arron’s life, no question.

"I don’t know what I would have done without him. I’m so grateful.”

This wasn’t the first time the concierge has helped save a tenant’s life – last year he helped rescue a tenant who had fallen from a window.

Davie said: “Your natural instincts kick in. Christine phoned down and I went to see how I could help.

“It only went on for a few minutes, but it felt like hours. Arron was going in and out of consciousness and I tried to keep him awake. Then the ambulance came, and the paramedics took over.

“I just did what anyone else would have done.”

Jehan Weerasinghe, GHA managing director, added: “Davie did brilliantly. To instinctively go and help a customer in such a difficult situation is a great tribute to him.

“This is a great example of our staff going the extra mile to help our customers whatever the situation.”
