Just do it… don’t make me nag!

My daughter Selena recently updated her CPR credentials and was after me to update mine as well.  (Ya, I see ya rollin’ your eyes, I know you did…… cause I rolled MINE!) So, JUST DO IT!!

This story really hits home just how important that is!!   I watched an interview with football player Heyward Demison, Jr., a HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR! who says that after catching a pass and running into the end zone for the winning touchdown he started to feel dizzy and lightheaded and wakes up in the hospital.

Shortly after catching a pass for the winning touchdown, Central Catholic player Hayward Demison’s heart stopped last Friday.

The Oregonian reports that the 6-foot-1, 195-pound high school junior thought he was suffering from an asthma attack. He wasn’t. He was having a heart attack.

After people realized the gravity of the situation, a nurse rushed out from the stands to do chest compressions. After 60 compressions and two rescue breaths, Demison’s pulse came back.

Demison has been diagnosed with a heart defect, but his heart didn’t sustain damage after the cardiac arrest and he will under go surgery in two weeks. Doctors expect a full recovery.

Demison says he’s truly blessed and thankful to the nurse who saved his life.
