Dad was eventually stabilized and we were told that he was within minutes of needing to be intubated.
I rushed my dad to the Nebraska Heart Hospital with respirations of 59 times a minute, gasping for air and him telling me he wasn’t going to make it. Within minutes of arriving at the front door, dad was in a room, being put on a Bi-pap machine with Kinley by his side. Dad was eventually stabilized and we were told that he was within minutes of needing to be intubated. If Kinley had not been there to help my dad through those first few critical minutes I wholeheartedly believe he wouldn’t be here with us today. Thank you Kinley for giving us more time with our dad!!
