Meyer told the outlet, "I saw him on the floor. He turned blue, and so I was like I don’t think he’s breathing. That’s not good. I was like hey I know CPR."
The seizure victim’s girlfriend, who was with him at the restaurant at the time of the incident, said that she froze up when he fell to the floor. She also said she was grateful that Meyer jumped into action.

This was apparently the first time that Meyer ever had to use her CPR training since learning it last November. She said that while she’s happy that things turned out the way that they did, she hopes she never has to "use CPR in a real-life situation again."
