Saving a loved one

The 62-year old was successfully resuscitated due to the efforts of her grandsons as well as paramedics who defibrillated her 4 times. According to Grayson, it was difficult to stay brave as he was sad, scared and nervous. Their grandmother was not breathing and had no pulse so they knew that there was something wrong.
