36-year-old mother knelt down to give birth on the bathroom floor. The one who gave birth to her baby was her 10-year-old son, and it didn't end there

It's not easy for 10-year-old Jayden Fontenot to understand the magnitude of his actions on the day his mother had early labor.
He just did what his mother told him to do when she felt early labor and was bleeding non-stop.
Ashley Morrow's baby's bottom started coming out, her husband went to work and his grandmother who lived nearby had just had back surgery and couldn't walk. She called the paramedics while Jayden stayed calm and did everything his mom told him.
The amazing 10-year-old boy from the United States managed to turn the baby and deliver him on the bathroom floor in their home in Sulphur, Louisiana.
When his little brother emerged into the world, he was not breathing. Jayden took a nasal inhaler that belonged to his sister, and by doing this he saved his brother's life.
The 36-year-old mother told Jayden that he would have to deliver his brother as soon as he could because the baby was not breathing.
Jaden replied: "Tell me what to do and I'll do it".
"I cried, but I tried to stay calm", Ashley said. "Jaden was so calm that it calmed me down even more. I could tell he was scared, but he knew he had to do it".
The baby started breathing just as the ambulance arrived and the mother and baby recovered after the terrifying experience.
"Every time I think about it I cry", Ashley said. "I don't think Jayden understands what he did and what a big deal it is".
Jayden received a letter of bravery at school from the mayor and local rescue teams.
What an amazing boy Jayden is. He will always have a special bond with his little brother whom he gave birth to and saved his life.
Please share to honor Jayden's bravery.
