Done
Not only do I have a nephew and a good friend who serve and protect, my bro in law is a fireman. I also have a great appreciation for law enforcement and EMS...when my oldest daughter was 8 yrs old she had her first gran mal epileptic siezure. Long story short, woke up at 3 am to the sound of chocking/rustling went to my daughters room and she was in full siezure. Never before had we seen any signs or simptoms so I thought she was chocking. My wife called 911 while i frantically tried to stop her from choking. First officer responding came thru the door literally within 1:30 to 2 minutes from the time of the call. He didn't knock, he was thru the door asking where she was with calm and professionalism. When he got to her she was just starting to come out of it and he immediateky recognized what had happened and radioed dispatch to let ems and fire what was going on. Not more than 1-2 minutes later fire and ems were on site and tending to my daughter again with a calm professionalism that soothed our tattered nerves. They had her loaded in an ambulance and on the way to hospital in less than 5 minutes tops.
Cannot express my gratitude in words to those who serve!
