Midday 10/27/13

In reflection, we are so blessed through this crazy time in so so many ways.
Blessed that this happened when and where it did. Nicole was in a busy restaurant, with courageous friends/family, and a doctor so close to start CPR within minutes and truly save her life. It could have happened earlier that day when she was home alone, or a time when she was babysitting her sister, or out walking to a friend, or even at the house with us, for that matter. Nowhere else would she have had as rapid and professional response as she had with her friends at the party.

And then to have friends around her who love her so much, who were so calm, so organized, with several calls to 911, managing the people around her.  And then her friend Michaela who stayed on the phone with me from just after it started all the way through until she was in the ambulance. That helped give such a clear view of what was happening it allowed us to get the things done and head off to help Nicole.  Thank You!
