I tell you folks what,

If you get away from TBN for a few days, it is a monumental task to get caught back up in this thread.

I just got some great news. My best friend's step dad slumped over in his chair at the dinner table 2 nights ago. My buddy was cooking flounder fillets and oysters when this happened and all the family was there. They gave him CPR for 15 minutes with no pulse ever coming back nor breathing. My buddy said he lost all color and was gray and white. The EMS got there and shocked him back to a pulse. Things did not look good after him being out for 15 minutes.

The doctors put a pace maker in him and put him into a coma to relax the brain. They brought him out of it this morning and by the afternoon he was able to talk and move all limbs. He sat up and was joking and cutting up. His heart did not have any cloggage, it just got out of beat and the pace maker is working fine. Hallelujah. I had been praying for him along with others and he seems to be fine now. They will keep a close watch on him and a bit of rehab and should be out in a week or 2.

The doctors told my buddy that the CPR that he did was the difference even though he never got his pulse back during it.

So don't give up on anybody until the EMS gets there.

Merry Christmas Y'all. God does give us miracles.

That's right...as long as you keep the blood oxygenated and flowing, there's a chance of preventing brain death.

I've been thinking about getting a home defibrillator. They aren't that expensive (just over $1K) and can prevent a death...

Sounds like your friend's step-dad had an arrhythmia...the upper and lower chambers of the heart got out of sync. That's what I had in 2008 and is why I now have a pacemaker. BTW, some pacemakers have a defibrillator built in (mine doesn't). You might ask your friend to check on what his step-dad has.
The doctors never figured out what caused mine...but I'm guessing in was from drinking hard liquor. I worked at a foundry then (in PA) and we all drank like fish.

"put him into a coma to relax the brain..They brought him out of it this morning and by the afternoon"

Indeed very lucky man.

12/10/2010 when the doctor put me in sleeping coma from heart attack for 14 days,doctors told me almost average time for brain and heart trying to repair.

Speedy recovery wishes to your friend father.
