BOSTON, MA — An 11-year-old Providence girl was honored at a Boston Celtics game for saving her mother's life.
Sophia's mother then suddenly collapsed, the release said.
"Without hesitation, Pilderian dialed 911 and followed the guidance of emergency dispatchers," the release said. "Drawing on CPR techniques she had previously seen in an online video, she began chest compressions and continued them steadily for several minutes until first responders arrived."
