“I was doing my afternoon exercises a mile from my house when all of a sudden my blood glucose dropped below 40. I was basically on my knees and couldn’t walk. My grandson PJ was riding his 4 wheeler up and down the road and noticed my demeanor. He immediately sprung into action,” Brewer-Laye explained in the caption.
Noticing his grandma, the 11-year-old rushed back home and drove out his grandmother’s car to pick her up.
“All of a sudden I saw my Mercedes Benz coming toward me and guess who was driving..Yes PJ..I got in the car he drove me home pulled in the drive way put it in park and helped me out the car,” she wrote further. “Let me tell you this child is ONLY 11 YRS OLD!” she added.
