More than 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home. That means the life you save with CPR is most likely to be someone you love.!!
It was just another Wednesday night when Chad Chapman heard a strange, gasping noise from the kitchen. He turned to see his 17-year-old son Jake’s face contorted. Moments later, Jake went limp.
Chad wasn’t sure he remembered his CPR training. But looking at his son, he knew he had to try. He started chest compressions immediately.
After six days in a coma and two weeks in the hospital, Jake survived with no lasting damage. When he finally learned what happened, Jake sent his father a simple text message:
“Thank you for saving my life.”❤❤❤
