Thank you to the Nelson Family for sharing this with us. We are very grateful to be of service to your family and the community. We hope that your loved one continues to make a full recovery! An excellent job that was done by all that assisted in making this recovery possible, including our own Captain Russell Junge, Paramedic Kassie Kern and FF/Paramedic Adam Hansel of the St. Clair Fire Protection District. On September 5th a family member went into cardiac arrest while at ...GT Autos in St. Clair. After several days in the ICU at Mercy Hospital in Washington our family is beyond blessed that our loved one has made a miraculous recovery! We want to make sure that all involved receive our most heartfelt gratitude. We cannot express our thankfulness enough for John Bardot who performed CPR while being directed by the 911 operator as responders were on the way. A special thank you to all first responders that were so quick to act that Saturday morning! Thank you to all physicians and staff of Mercy Hospital, our entire family received outstanding care while at your facility. Words are not merely adequate for something of this magnitude! If someone’s heart is in peril, when you dial 911, please know that there is a group of dedicated professionals working very hard... right here in our own backyard. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! The Nelson Family
