Asbury Park Boy Hailed as a Hero for Saving Grandmother

Adobe Express

An Asbury Park boy is being hailed as a hero after getting help for his grandmother after she fell into a diabetic coma.

According to the Asbury Park Press, 6-year-old Nolan Accoo was staying at his grandmother’s Freehold Township home. She settled into an easy chair to watch TV, and awoke in the hospital. Nolan had sensed the danger she was in, and tried to get her to drink some orange juice. Panicked, he called his father who called for help. The boy’s father, Corey Accoo wants the story known to encourage other parents to prepare their children if there is a diabetic in the family.

I’ve had my dream job of waking up with all the great listeners and members of Brookdale Public Radio since January 3, 2005. Prior to this job, I began my career in radio at NJ 101.5 FM as a producer. From there, I took time off from radio to do other things. (including becoming a mom!)
