Last night was one of those occasions when the going got tough.

Her Dad(91), had been getting medical treatment for mild pneumonia after some radiation treatments last week. She had just brought her Mom & Dad home and he developed shortness of breath getting up the ramp into the house, asked for his 'puffer' and collapsed.

My wife hit the "Panic Button" which got help on the way and started CPR. It was ten long minutes before he regained consciousness and the ambulance arrived. The paramedics asked her if she was a nurse. Said she had done a good job.

Her Dad seems lucid and will be in hospital for at least a few days. Looks like I am going to be busy on a new wheelchair ramp.

She retired from 33 years of teaching last year, has authored 3 novels and a large number of articles, raised 2 kids and fosters rescue dogs & cats.
And last night she saved her Dad's life.
Today is her parents 62 anniversary.

Amazing woman. I am a lucky guy.

Best
