Healthy Baby!! Yay!! Thank you, First Responders!

The doctors didn't promise anything. Mrs. Goodling had a heart attack while she was around 3 months pregnant. Thankfully, they were at a church watching "Fireproof" and a retired doctor, an electrician, an off-duty police officer, and a firefighter performed CPR and provided instant care. It not only saved her life; it saved the life of her baby.

Well, little baby Goodling was born today, healthy, happy and strong. The only side effect was a lower-than-normal birthweight, but certainly nothing to cause concern in any way.

Thank you to anyone who is a first-responder, who responds when not on-duty, and anyone who knows CPR and jumps in to provide life-saving help.

P.S. Learn CPR! Save a life when every moment counts. I myself am convicted that I need to renew my CPR Certification.
