I think in Jordan's actions and speed and decisions on that day that she saved my wife's life.
My wife had open heart surgery in January. The day after in the ICU, her heart stopped. Jordan and I were standing by her bed. Jordan instantly started chest compressions and we both yelled for help. Within 3 or 4 seconds the ICU team was there. Jordan still doing chest compressions while the ICU team worked. My wife had no heart beat for 30‐45 seconds. I know what the enture ICU team did, they were trained to do, and I will say I witnessed them doing it well. Jordan acted instantly in her actions that day. I think in her actions and speed and decisions on that day that Jordan saved my wife's life. Now, a few weeks later, my wife is going to a rehab unit in McMinnville, TN in our home town. I told Jordan and a young man that I only know as “Big Joe" that if they worked for me I would give them both a raise in pay and I meant it. God bless you Jordan. I wish for you and your family a blessed life.
