Mia Santiago hugs the two Fort Myers police officers who acted quickly to save her life after she had a seizure at Dunbar High School last month. (CREDIT: Special to WINK News) Dunbar High School student Mia Santiago had a scare on campus last month. She survived a seizure thanks to the quick thinking of two Fort Myers police officers stationed as school resource officers. “I headed to my first-period class and I ended up falling and having my episode,” Santiago said. Mia’s mother Laura Pequeno said she was told her daughter was turning white and gray as she struggled to breathe. David Wood, a school resource officer with the Fort Myers Police Department, was in the right place at the right time. “I was standing in the hallway, watching the students file in and we have our school radios, received notice that one of the students reportedly having a seizure in one of the classrooms upstairs,” Wood said. Wood said he and other administrators ran to help Santiago. Officer David Sanchez, who was in the parking lot at the time of the call, arrived a short while later. “The whole team, myself, Officer Sanchez, administration, all working together to get this young lady, the best care, we could until EMS arrived,” Wood said. Training took over, Wood said. Submit Copyright ©2024 Fort Myers Broadcasting. All rights reserved.
