CCMH Hospital Volunteer

I would like to thank the 1st Responders who stopped on their own to get me to the ER, following an accident after I blacked out following a stroke in which I lost my right side and slipped into a coma. The ones I remember were Mike Mullaney, Aaron Smith and Kin Hubbard.

The staff at the ER were great intubating me and giving me a clot buster drug which was successful. I feel very fortunate that I was able to completely recover and be back to work with no stroke effects.

Thanks to all who sent cards, phone all and prayers. It meant the world to me.
