February 14, 2014 I was leaving a luncheon with friends and driving home on I5S in Oregon. It was an amazing sunny day in Oregon with light traffic. As I passed under the Tualatin overpass I received a call from my dad. I answered and said hello then I passed out at the wheel. Life came and left me as I was trying to slow. After a few seconds I finally came awake to the situation, I was able to get back to my home in Canby, OR. Not feeling great I went to bed. 2/15/14 I made my kids breakfast and went to take a shower at 9:30 am... I fell to the floor in my closet to die. My kids (daughter 13 & son 12) heard me hit the floor. They came to my rescue... Daughter called 911, son started CPR with my daughters assurance. They gave me enough life to be rescued by the Canby FD. I now have a a defibullator and thanks God and my kids daily for my life. I pray I can assist other 5% ers in their story.....
