On the evening of May 19, we experienced a miracle. Our 5-week old baby, Charlotte, quit breathing and went into cardiac arrest. We happened to be with our future sister-in-law at the time, Samantha Anderson, who had the proper training to start CPR in the car as we raced for Albert Lea. A law enforcement officer met us on the road and took over from there, along with the Hayward first responders, Gold Cross paramedics and other law enforcement officers. Charlotte was revived and flown to St. Marys where she was taken very good care of. Thank God for Albert Lea Police Department Officer Jacob Stockwell, Deputy Arnold Zuniga, Deputy Glen Strom, Hayward first responders, the Gold Cross paramedics and Samantha; Kris and I cannot thank them enough. Thanks also to everyone who prayed for our family and sent their love and support; we are truly blessed. Charlotte is doing well and is expected to make a full recovery.
