LEARN CPR, YOU MIGHT SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE!
This past week, a 17 year old collapsed at a church youth event. I as setting up snacks when it happened. Someone yelled out for me to come. He was non- responsive and was not breathing. I called out for 911 to be called. I then began CPR. I must have done it for about 10 minutes before Medics arrived. They had to shock him 3 times to get a weak pulse. He was brought to a local hospital and then transferred to a pediatric hospital. He had been unconscious for 6 days. He woke up today and drank his first cup of water.

I used a skill i never thought I'd have to use. I thank God i got trained otherwise the young man would have likely died.

Amen! That's really great. I have trained for it, but I have never had to use it, but once I saved my late husband's life, when he was choking, by using the Heimlich maneuver.

God really used you that day to save that young man's life. That is really amazing. God bless you

@LadyGrace Praise God you were able to perform the Heimlich maneuver on your husband.

I know that God gives us the knowledge to learn these techniques to preserve and extend life.
