Our church had a revival today....not the kind most of you are thinking of.
An older gentleman in the choir had a heart attack during church today. One minute, the kids are sitting in the front of the church for Children's Time, and the next minute, they are being ushered out, chairs are being pushed out of the way, to get to this man. He was sitting in the back row of the choir, and just put his head back, and passed out. Edward, along with a couple of non-medical friends, quickly jumped up there and got him on the floor. No pulse, not breathing, nothing. Edward started chest compressions, and within a couple of minutes (and about 100 compressions later), Edward brought him back! What a praise! The EMS arrived and then were able to take him to the hospital, but it would have been a very different story this morning had Edward not been there. We have a very elderly church, and it's amazing this hasn't happened before. Everyone is just thankful Edward was there and able to resuscitate this nice man. Prayers to him and his wife, who was understandably very upset, for a healthy prognosis.
