Kelly Fogelberg who has 21 years of service as a nurse was at that right place at the right time last week when she was attending a high school volleyball game since she has friends at the high school which is located in Marion Arkansas.
Kelly was in the stands when she was called to assist an elderly man who was in the stands watching his granddaughter play volleyball when he fell ill from what may have a been a heart attack or any other malady.
By the time Kelly was able to speak to the patient, his heart stopped beating as he passed away. Kelly then went into action by using her nursing skills to work by using CPR in an attempt to revive the man.
Someone in the stands called 911 to have then send an ambulance at the high school gymnasium. Another nurse then assisted Kelly by grabbing an automatic defibrillator which is an instrument that is used to kick start the heart to beat once again.
It is through the grace of God that the elderly man was able to live once again. The elderly man when he recovered from his near death experience admitted to Kelly that was he confused to what happened to him.
The medical personnel then took the elderly man to a local hospital where his condition improved after his brush with death.
Kelly insists that she is not a heroine. She was just doing her job to heal the sick. I like the way she tells people to follow her example to help others in need.
Imagine living before CPR was invented
You are correct. It is very sobering to have lived in that era before CPR was invited.
so much we take for granted
You are correct since tomorrow is not promised to anybody.
yet how often we behave as if it were
You are correct since Kelly as the saying of the late Casey Kasum of “America’s Top Forty” radio show which “Keep your feet on the ground and keeping reaching for the stars.”
My pleasure to share these wonderful stories.
Kelly was his angel for that day, how inspiring.
Kelly had this attitude that no matter how hard the odds were to save the grandpa from dying in her arms, was she going to quit trying to save a life. Now that is real life Wonder Woman in my book.
Kelly is a modest person who knows what a human duty is. Bravo Kelly.
I agree with you on that point that she is a great role model for others to follow with her never say die way of work.
Bravo indeed to Kelly! Great one for sharing
My pleasure to share these wonderful stories.
My wife is nurse.
Bravo for Kelly.
Kelly is indeed a real life Wonder Woman.
Kelly Fogelberg is right. She who is humble just carries out her duties when needed, at the right time, in the right place which is not in the hospital. Therefore she is a role model.
