EWING, N.J. – A 5-year-old boy of Ewing Township is in critical condition after he went into cardiac arrest on a soccer field last week.

Sheryl Grell was watching her son, Anthony, run up and down the field during a soccer game when suddenly, he collapsed on the field.

At that moment, Grell’s instincts kicked in as she rushed to the field to save her son’s life.

Grell, who is also an emergency room nurse, performed CPR on her son in a rush to keep him alive. Local police also used an automatic defibrillator to bring Anthony back to life.

“I just started pounding on his chest,” said Grell.
