We've never had to use it, but I'm glad we are. Like you said, you never know where you might be when it will be needed. Seconds save lives. So sorry this didn't happen for this woman. Prayers for her family. owensontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076915620668491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209532008836969061.post-4654535418591275232014-07-06T22:54:43.373-07:002014-07-06T22:54:43.373-07:00Sorry about having to go through that.

I can imagine how upsetting it would be to be in that situation, but clearly everyone did all that could be done.Mike and Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05533734325496528187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209532008836969061.post-37543113776099738142014-07-06T08:52:10.065-07:002014-07-06T08:52:10.065-07:00It sounds like you and your staff did everything r...It sounds like you and your staff did everything right in assisting your visitor. Sometimes it just isn't going to be successful no matter how quickly you respond. So sorry you had to experience this but I'm sure the woman's family is grateful you made the effort to help her. <br />I had a heart attack 4 years ago and was so fortunate that I got immediate help from the fire department EMT and escaped with no major damage and a stented artery. It's so important not only to know CPR, but to recognize the signs of heart attack and stroke and to get help immediately. That visitor may have been having symptoms for hours or days before she stopped breathing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024857368553786683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209532008836969061.post-48590867768225229642014-07-06T08:33:35.662-07:002014-07-06T08:33:35.662-07:00Jim and Judy....Thank you for sharing this story. ...Jim and Judy....Thank you for sharing this story. It has motivated me to sign up myself and my entire staff to the 1st responder training class. Our Outdoor University classes are remote and we are on the front line if something happens. I know this was a traumatic event for all involved, but sometimes we can do all we can and we still fall short. God Bless you both for being there and caring so much for others.andyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178776481471732163noreply@blogger.com
