Michaela came to my home on Sunday to admit me to Home Health Care. She was filling in for another fellow worker. Towards the end of her visit, I excused myself to use the restroom, collapsed, and went into cardiac arrest. Michaela, using CPR essentially saved my life. My wife called 911, and the paramedics took over. I awakened in the ER, and by the grace of God and the angel Michaela, I am alive and recovering today. There is no way I can adequately thank her, and I believe God was not yet ready for me, so he sent her to extend my life. How fortunate for me to have had this totally educated, warm, and loving individual sent my way on that day. She knew what to do and was able to give me a true extension of my life. She is a wonderful employee. Please make sure to honor her!
