Hi Dori, I don't know what to say to you except that I am here with you just because I saw your post. He stands a chance because of you and prayer is a powerful thing. I'll be thinking of you. Hope you are not still shaking, think I would be.

From what I understand Dori, CPR is physically exhausting on top of the emotional pain you must be feeling.. I have already started praying for you both. Please go easy on yourself for a couple of days so that your back won't get worse and remember that Dennis is in God's hands. I will pray that you both feel Him close.

I've said a prayer for your friend, Dennis. He is very lucky you were with him when he needed CPR. Because of you, he has a chance at life. Whatever decision God makes for him, you should know that your efforts were not in vain. Take care and try to find some peace in this stressful time.

If anyone ever has a chance or opportunity to learn CPR you just might want to take the class.

WOW!
What an experience!
You probably saved his life!
I just read an article in the Sunday Press
how important immediate CPR is with heart attack victims.
You're a hero Dori!
Job well done!
Hope Dennis continues well on his pathway to healing.

Just read this post, been away from Dave's myself. Just got out of hospital (St. Mary's). Had to have a cauterization as I have been so tired and exhausted lately. Heart doctor though maybe my existing Stent may have blown and some main arteries may have been blocked. Thankfully, everything is fine, changed my heart meds, and I am on the road to mending.....

Congrats to you on saving Dennis's life.....I am so proud of you . Your a hero in my book Dori.....Love ya and hugs
