Seizure 1

The manner in which SAR assessed and administered first aid was only surpassed by the steely nerves to care for a seizure in the dark, near midnight, on a mountain side. All 13 SAR members were in constant communication with us. It was a privilege to watch people work with such professionalism and humanity. Pretty sure I was in a state of shock witnessing my wife’s condition. A bit of denialism and surrealism helped me cope. If there is a message for others, if in doubt, call 911 or have a satellite help transmitter to use. If my daughter had not made the call, we’d be much worse off. There may be a hesitancy to ask for help, but I’m learning to shed that trait. 911, Deputy, SARs, and St. Charles are there for one reason, our safety.
