Is it God’s will for you to take his Word to
the world? That’s not the right question
to ask. The question is where and how

Pharmacy Student Uses Training to Save Toddler
A two-year-old boy lying lifeless in his
mother’s arms gets handed to you. How
would you respond?
Joshua Arnold ’13, Pharm.D. ’16, a
third-year professional pharmacy student,
was put in just that situation on January
30, 2015, when a neighbor pounded on
his door fearing her two-year-old son was
going to die. Arnold’s textbook approach
led to a positive end to the emergency.
“I give God all of the praise for allowing
Joziah to still be alive; I did what anyone
would do,” said Arnold during television
interviews with Dayton media. “I was just
a tool that God used.”
Arnold wasn’t supposed to be home;
he was scheduled to work at his pharmacy
internship at Kettering Medical Center. His
shift ended early, and he returned home and
had even started cooking dinner.
That’s when the pounding on his front
door began. Damaris Pearson, carrying her
unconscious, non-breathing son, rushed
in. “Please help Joziah; he’s dying,” she
exclaimed.
Arnold immediately applied cardio
pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the
toddler — skills that he gained from
a mandatory course in the School of
Pharmacy. “I was asking myself [when
I was taking the class], ‘Why is this class
necessary for a pharmacist?’” he said. “Now
I know. It’s valuable for a pharmacist, or
for someone who is just cooking dinner.
It helped make a positive difference in this
situation.”
WhileArnold startedCPR, he instructed
Pearson to use his cell phone to call 911. In
a matter of minutes, Cedarville’s emergency
unit arrived. Prior to its arrival, the toddler
began breathing again.
“I amthankful for the trainingCedarville
[School of Pharmacy] has providedme,” said
Arnold. “This unfortunate event allowed
me to realize that I am being prepared for
these kinds of real-life situations.”
“Joshua [Arnold] remained calm
throughout the ordeal, and I believe that
it was because of his quick thinking and
accurate recollection of his training that
my son is alive today,” said the boy’s father,
Joshua Pearson ’18, who was not home at
the time of the crisis. “We are eternally
grateful for the Lord’s provision.”
According to medical doctors at Soin
Medical Center in Beavercreek, Ohio, Joziah
had a virus that caused his temperature to
spike, resulting in a febrile seizure. Today,
the toddler is living a normal life and is
enjoying the stuffed animal he received on
his ambulance ride to Soin.
“Joziah is doing fine, but there was a
time that we thought we were going to lose
him,” said his mother, with a tear in her eye.
“It has definitely brought our priorities into
perspective. We are so thankful for Josh
Arnold and for his university training.”
