CPR. To her it seemed like forever, but FINALLY Dick coughed up water, his eyes opened, and a <br /> bystander cried, "HALLELUJAH! It's a MIRACLE!!" And indeed it was. <br /> As was said at the beginning, it is clear that the Big Guy upstairs knew, as Mr. Gower was making <br /> that one wrong step, that, as He was not yet finished with me, He needed to pull a few of his marionette <br /> strings to make a series of miracles (NOT coincidences) happen that together would result in one heck <br /> of a big miracle. Of course, HE is my biggest Hero. <br /> The rest of the story is that the Fire Rescue arrived, and took Mr. Gower to the wonderful Trauma <br /> Unit at Ft. Pierce's Lawnwood Regional Medical Center, where later that night he regained <br /> consciousness, and began recovering from three fractured ribs, multiple scrapes and bruises on his <br /> face, head, arms and hands, and a torn deltoid muscle behind his right shoulder. Upon learning about <br /> the ribs, Curtis Carpenter exclaimed, "Oh NO! I FRACTURED your ribs! I'm SO sorry!" To which Mr. <br /> Gower replied, "Don't you dare apologize for fracturing my ribs. I'm GLAD you fractured my ribs! If you <br /> hadn't, I wouldn't be alive to talk to you today! <br /> I am so grateful to everyone involved in helping. The Fire Rescue guys did so many good things <br /> to me that I'm told I was in and out of the E.R. in no time, to be whisked up to my room where <br /> Lawnwood's Trauma Unit staff demonstrated, during the 3 days and nights I was there,just how VERY <br /> caring they are in how they handle and work with their patients. I learned that first hand. They are THE <br /> BEST par none. They love their team and it shows. <br /> 9 <br />
