Well, Daniel and my mom are headed back to Texas tomorrow morning, but Daniel is trying to make his last few days here as fun as possible (we are still making him go to rehab every day though- aren't we so mean?) Today we went to the fire station and met with the team of paramedics who saved Daniel's life. A couple of them came by the hospital when Daniel was just waking up, but thanks to his short term memory problem at the time, he didn't remember that. We called the fire station to see if we could stop by and let Daniel meet them again. Mom said "We can stop by about 1:00 so we won't interrupt lunch or anything" and they told her "Go ahead and come at noon! We'll barbecue for you!"
So we had a fantastic lunch today! It was such a great experience to be able to go and see them all and thank them in person! It was emotional hearing the story from the source and remembering how close we were to losing Daniel. The paramedics told us that it was fun for them to get to know Dirty Dan because they don't usually get to see that side of the people that they work with or save. We will be ever grateful to them for saving Daniel and for all of the work that they do daily. Thank you Scott, Deon, Jeff, Brian, and Stan! And also to the police officer who started chest compressions so the paramedics could do the other life saving measures required!
They also called a photographer from the Daily Herald to come and get pictures of Daniel and his rescuers. They said that they would run a story on it today (Saturday Feb, 28) so look for him there!
