Park, Pool, and Paramedics

Rick and Kristina are in town for a few days, so today we went to Zilker Park with all the cousins.  It was scorching HOT, but it was still fun!  We weren't they for too long, but long enough to play on the playground and ride the train.

Kristina, Lyla, Cole, and Rick














 JT, Kylene (who we call Aunt Ky Ky), and Jade

Then we went home for naps and met up for swimming later.  When we were at the pool there was a women who went unconscious and fell to the ground.  Bev, who used to be an EMT, rushed over to help.  She gave her a couple rescue breaths, but she couldn't find a pulse.  So she did two more breaths and then the lady opened her eyes.  Her daughter and grandkids were there and her daughter called 911.  Bev stayed with them until the paramedics arrived and helped her get in touch with their other family members.  She said that she had cancer and was receiving treatment.  I love to hear about Bev's paramedic stories, but it was really cool to see her in action!  She is awesome in an emergency!  She stays calm and she always knows what to do.  Add that with her swim instructor certification and you know that she's who you want with you when you're at the pool.

Cannon had another awesome day at the pool! Bev gave me the next steps to do with him.
