Tonight was the ER Christmas Parade. I had taken my car down to Blockbusters so that we would have a guaranted place to sit. It started at 6:30, so around 6:00 we walked down to the car. We got all settled and the Parade was starting.
At every beginning of the Parade, the policemen come thru on their motorcycles. There were policemen from almost every city. City of Red Bank, ER and then the City of Chattanooga. They were right in front of us and then they stopped at the intersection; all of a sudden, the fire truck came speeding by and I thought, "why are they speeding when the policemen are stopped?". After looking to see what was going on, one of the policemen had fallen off his motorcycle and was laying on the ground, NOT moving!!!
Someone was walking down the road asking if anyone had any aspirin; so it was apparent, he had a heart attack. They started doing CPR and the ambulance finally came. After about 15 mins of doing CPR, we found out that he had a mild heart attack and they finally got him breathing.
What a way to start a Christmas Parade. I'm thankful that he is okay as far as I know. I hope all goes well for him and will be thinking of him and his family this holiday season.
