clouds with the sliver line...

Heyyy!!
Okay so back to yesterdays biting off a little too much topic. Today I finally finished my article about this man from Kendall who had a hemorrhage three years ago. He got saved by these firefighters, from station 37, and went to a union meeting to thank them.
Sweet story from there right... well there is more.
Turns out, the guy, Edward Rodriguez, had a daughter who passed away a few months before this happened to him. Her husband was in the Army and they got into an accident while driving over there. She was in a coma for 45 days, and her family went to be by her side, but she never woke up from the coma so they never got to say good-bye.
Needless to say they were heartbroken at the time of the hemorrhage, Nov. 7.
But what saved Edwards life is that his wife, Lizbeth, got an e-mail a few months before telling her how to spot a stroke victim. She somehow remembered what she read, and made sure he was having a stroke before calling 911. And apparently that saved a lot of time for the firefighters who saved Edward because they would have spent time finding out what the problem was.
Interesting no?

I'll post the story when I am done.
