Boy saves grandfather using iPhone

UNDATED -- A young boy is being credited with making a call that saved his grandfather's life.

The two were hunting in the middle of the woods when Carl Jones’ blood sugar became too low. Jones is a diabetic.

Monday night was a cozy night for Kanden and his grandfather, Carl Jones - a far cry from what they experienced on Saturday. Carl Jones was near death, and with no one around, it was up to Kanden to do something.

At 4-years old, Kanden doesn't know his own telephone number, but knew how to work an iPhone.

"I called that button it wasn't working so I pushed that button,” said Kanden. "I pressed the camera button."

Whether he knew it or not, Kanden was recording a video. The video shows Kanden as he was running through the woods. Kanden is heard whimpering and Carl Jones is seen lying on the ground

"I was just running back and forth…I wasn't afraid of nothing,” said Kanden. "I was crying, because I wanted my parents."

Kanden and his grandfather were hunting for deer together. At some point during the morning, Carl Jones became woozy.

"My diabetes, my sugar got too low, and I knew it was starting to get low. That's why we was going back to camp," said Jones.

They never made it. Jones passed out, and Kanden couldn't wake up his grandfather. Kanden had inadvertently redialed his parents' phone number, already logged into the iPhone, and told his father that his grandfather was sleeping.

"I said, 'He's asleep?' He said 'Yeah,' and he kept yelling to my dad, 'Hey, Paw Paw, Daddy wants to talk to you. Daddy wants to talk to you,' and so, at that moment, with my dad being a diabetic, I knew that something was wrong," said Jarrett Jones.

Kanden's parents and other family members drove immediately to the camp.On foot and hollering, it took a frantic two hours before they found Kanden.

"I said, 'Bubba, if you hear us, you have to holler back so momma knows where you're at. Two seconds later, he says 'Momma, I'm right here,'" said Tiffany Jones.

Carl Jones was found lying on the ground a few feet away.

"I think somebody, I just really think it wasn't my time to go. I think the good Lord was telling me, 'Carl you need to wake up,'" said Jones.

Carl Jones was taken to a nearby hospital and treated. Now, the family is together and eager to celebrate what they say is the best gift - a family that's intact.
