Hi all,
Just wanted to underline how grateful I am for this forum. This morning, Mum had her first really rattling experience with trouble breathing, a series of spasms that wouldn't allow her to get her breath. Because of how PALS and CALS share their experiences here, and I've been reading these various issues, I was able to recognize it, be calm, and make a suggestion to try relax her way out of it. If I hadn't seen this suggestion here, I would have called 911, thinking it was a heart issue, and it would have cascaded into a horrible, exhausting potentially health-damaging issue at Emergency at the hospital.
So thank-you all for sharing your emotions, experiences and suggestions. I've learned so much from you all, and will continue to.
Best,
Kathy
