This happened a while ago... (trying to share some of the things going on in our lives)
Joshua was alerted by a co-worker that someone had been found passed out on the floor of the kitchen. He immediately went to help. Everyone else was standing around or poking the poor lady. Joshua checked her pulse and found a very weak one. He noticed her eyelids were moving rapidly. He told a co-worker to call for an ambulance and tell them an employee was unconscious and having seizures.
The newly hired lady comes from a family that does not speak English well. Because of that, Joshua called another co-worker to his side who happens to be a translator for the company. He gave her the office keys and told her to find the emergency contact number in the lady's file and to call her family. He wanted to let them know what happened and also be able to give her medical history to the paramedics. The lady's brother met the paramedics, and with the translator's help, gave them details about her medical history.
Afterward, the paramedics came back by the restaurant to praise Joshua for his quick thinking and for taking action. They told him his diagnosis was correct. She was having a seizure. They were also very thankful for him thinking beyond that moment and getting the translator and family member to help them help the co-worker better. That made their job easier.
The co-worker is due to be released from the hospital today or tomorrow.
God continues to place Joshua in a position as a very competent first responder. It is very rewarding for us as parents to hear from others how well he takes command of a scene, gives appropriate first aid, and gets help on the way quickly.
Don’t forget to do good and to share what you have
because God is pleased with these kinds of sacrifices.
Hebrews 13:16
