Well a few people have called me a hero after last night but, I still only say I did what anyone would of done I hope. But, others are disagreeing and say my Overgrown Boy Scout Moniker fits even more. So I thought I would let my peeps let me know if what I did was anything special. I was at a friends house yesterday watching a movie, Butterfly Effect truely awesome people. Well while we were watching the movie I heard a pop then crash very close togther and not too far out the window. I looked out and saw a few cars cominig around the corner slowly and a few that just kept driveing. Then I looked across the street and thought I saw a car resting in a pole like it hit it but was not sure from the angle. I told the friend I am going to check if something happened. I went down the stairs and saw that someone did wreck and I yelled up to my friend to call the police and notify them of an accident with possible injuries and I was going to walk down and check out if everyone was ok. It only took me like 30 seconds to get there but when I got there there was a group of people on this small hill looking at the car and the someone said, "I think she is haveing a seizure." Well, I looked around the car and saw a woman on the grounds half under the car. She was haveing a seizure it looked like but I still was not a 100 percent sure. I did not have my belt on for some reason and I asked if anyone there had a belt to put in her mouth so she did not bite her tounge off. This one gentleman had one and I ran over next to her and knew she was haveing a major seizure. Her eyes were rolled into the back of her head and her teath were clenched tight. She was still shakeing and her teeth were clenched tight and I could not get them apart without more damage. But, as I was checking out the situation she started to change color and was haveing difficulty breathing. She got purple really quick and time seemed to slow down to me. and I knew I needed to do something. So I took one hand and held her head still. I then tilted the head back gently with my other hand just slightly hopeing to open up and airway. It worked and she began to breath again. She was still in a seizure and I took the belt and got it between her teeth as she was opening her mouth for breath. The seizure stopped and I took the belt out to help her breath.At this time I was smeeling a smoke/fire like smell and had one of the gentlemen there reach into the car and put it in park and turn off the igningtion. It was not running but, I thought better safe than sorry. Her eyes were dialated and for a min or too then she woke up and was in shock she started to sit up and I told her to lay there she was just in an accident and help was on the way and she was ok. She did and here eyes stayed dialated and she stared into the distance it seemed. Then the police got there and said we need a medic. but, they kept me where I was and the took care of traffic. I was so wanting out of the situation. But, I stayed none the less. then a min later a medic got there and said to me, "Tell me you did not move her out of this car." I answered truthfully that she was out of the car when I got here and I told him she was haveing a seizure. He seemed pissed that I helped because he next said, "How do you know she was haveing a seizure?" I told him her symtoms and he said she did have one then and I then told him everything that happened.Durning this time she woke up again and started sitting up saying where am I scared. I held her down and the told her she was ok the medics were her and to just lay there concertateing on her breathing and she did. He then asked how long she had been grasping for breath and I told him not more the ten seconds which a few of the onlookers agreed to. I then let him take over with holding the neck and he thanked me for what I did and then I stepped aside to the background. The police took statments from a couple and me. I told them I did not see the accident but, did write down everything that happened. The couple and I said good bye to each other as I asked them what happened. The told me what the saw and then they told me I did a good job and that I probably saved that lady's life. I did not know what to say so I said the first thing that came to mind. Well, it was nothing, I was doing what anyone would do. I was actually surprised at this point I was able to remeber everything I did from Boy Scouts first aid classes. It had been a good 10 to 15 years since I had used any of that info in a mock situation. I then told the medics and police good bye and then one female oficer thanked me for my help and reinterated the fact I may have saved that ladies life. I still feel like it was not me who did it even thought I know it was. But, I do find it weird that one of my last post was about, if it was easy for Superman to do what he does. If it was second nature or if he forced his self. I guess in a way I got my answer from this experience.
Love and Friendship,
Stevie
