Letter to the Editor

Here is a copy of the Thank You I sent to our local newspaper the Bremen Enquirer...

Last Thursday, our 2 month old little girl Alegria Elizabeth stopped breathing. In the brief moments between stopping the van and actually getting Ali out of her car seat, she had vomited, choked, stopped breathing, and was unresponsive. We started CPR and called an ambulance. By the time the ambulance reached the ER she was crying again. She quickly stabilized enough to transfer her Ft. Wayne where she was observed overnight in the Pediatric ICU, and released the next day.

I cannot adequately express our gratitude to all those who helped our daughter. To Dr. Garl who performed CPR and his staff who called 911; to all those who responded to the 911 call including Ross, Mark, and Steve from Tri-County; to the emergency room staff at Bremen who stablized her for transport to Ft. Wayne; to all of you, please know that your work is appreciated more than my words can adequately convey. Your response time was critical and impressive; it seemed only moments from the time the 911 call was made until help began arriving. We thank and praise God for the way in which He answered our prayers for help through each of you!
