VIDEO- The start of September makes good, each year, on several guarantees- the changing of seasons, the shortening of days and the start of the school year.
But for Nolan Garrison, and his family, starting school at all was never a guarantee.
The 4-year-old was born with dangerous kidney condition. On Labor Day weekend in 2014, Nolan was under the eye of his grandmother, Michelle Mulligan. Mulligan heard her infant grandson making noises in the back of the car, and when she looked back to check on him she noticed he was struggling to breathe and was turning blue.
She took the boy into a store nearby, where staff called 911. The call triggered an alert on the Pulse Point app, which pinpoints emergency calls. At the time, the app had only been around for about seven months.
