| EK,
Good post! I have renewed First Aid/CPR for years when my kids were in scouts but I confess to letting it lapse lately. Years ago, one of my kids was choking and a neighbor trained in CPR managed to assist thank goodness. I knew what to do but I was a little panicked.
When DS was younger he had a friend injured skateboarding. He had called the kids Mom at work, called an ambulance and triaged the kid (both 13 year olds) before the ambulance or any adult showed up. Thanks to all those years of Boy Scout first aid.
I remember hearing the 911 tapes when the young child drowned at Pamela Anderson's years ago. I kept thinking that if anyone there had CPR they might have saved that child.
Okay, so at least you got me to go get renewed.
Thanks. |
