Story highlights The baby was choking on food"I can't see another person being her godfather," the girl's mother said(CNN) Officer Kenneth Knox didn't know it at the time, but a child he saved from dying would soon become his goddaughter. Late last month, Knox responded to an emergency call of a two-month-old girl choking on baby food. With seconds to spare, he arrived at the scene to find Ma'Yavi Parham on the brink of death. "I've been trained in CPR but I thought that would push the cereal further down so I just sucked it out," Knox told CNN affiliate WDIV. The girl's father pleaded for the officer to save her, wailing "My baby!"
