Yes it was cool, but it was not just me, it was very much a team effort.

My wife immediately called 911 and relayed critical information from me to the dispatcher, then went outside to wait for the ambulance. My oldest daughter moved furniture out of the way so I had room to work and the ambulance crew could get a cot/equipment in the house quickly. Middle daughter took our youngest (and the dog) into the bedroom so she (they) would not be in the way and kept them calm.

It all fell together like a well-oiled machine. It was nothing we practiced, previously discussed or preplanned, but everyone knew they had a job to perform and did so immediately.

I rode in the back of the ambulance to the hospital and assisted with care and treatment, so my mind was occupied with tasks. As we approached the hospital and the tasks were pretty much completed, it all began to hit me and I know I started to shake. It took me a few minutes to regain my composure before I could continue on into the hospital.
