Crying, her hands over her mouth and looking helplessly on, this is the moment a desperate mother considered the unthinkable.
Bethany Hoover's three-year-old son Brayden Geis had stopped breathing and dash cam footage captured police officer Chase Miller arrive at the scene and begin administering CPR.
Twenty-one-year-old Bethany can be seen handing the unresponsive, limp boy over to the policeman as his father, John Geis, also 21, watches on from the car park of a KFC in Granbury, Texas.
Brayden had suffered a febrile seizure due to a cold, according to ABC News .
Bethany explained how she had given the boy an ibuprofen but he had suddenly gone limp, adding: "[I] leaned him forward and he was having a seizure, John called 911."
Miller worked on the boy for several minutes, calling his father over to help before, incredibly, he managed to revive the youngster.
In a statement released by police they said: "The child is now doing fine and is recovering with his family.
"Officer Miller's exceptional performance reflect great credit upon himself, the Granbury Police Department and the city of Granbury."
On Tuesday night, Miller was handed a Life Saving Award and got to meet Brayden and his parents again before handing the boy toys.
And the boy's mother told reporters: "Our son is the world to us. That's our world. That's our life."
