Wisconsin Vision has an outlet in Sheboygan. My favorite daughter manages the store along with a loyal band of quirky staff members.
If you've ever gone to Wisconsin Vision, you probably noticed the great customer service. They really do care about their customers. But with daughter Debs, their is always a wierd sense of humor, many chuckles and a way of making the world a little brighter. Heaven help anyone who bumps into a door or stubs their toe because the great service won't start until the laughter stops. I said it was quirky.
Well several weeks ago, a lady came into the store to get her glasses fixed with her two year old daughter. While mom was having her glasses adjusted, her daughter slumped to the floor and she wasn't breathing. There was nothing funny about this. Apparently the little girl was having a seizure. Debs remembered her CPR training from school and began "mouth to mouth". 911 was called and it took 8 minutes for the EMT's to arrive. The girl was rushed to the hospital and the story ends well. She will be alright. Her mother returned to the store to thank Debs.
There is some book that the female book-reading cult follows called "The five people you will meet in heaven" or something like that. The idea is that there are key people that affect your life in significant ways and you will meet them again in Heaven. Well I think the little girl will meet Debbie in Heaven.
As far as I know, there was no recognition by Wisconsin Vision to Deb and the staff for what they did. The local newspaper didn't pick it up. Radio was silent. Come on!
But you see with a Blog, I can't be silenced. I have this imaginary newspaper called the "Acewisdom Chronicles". Debs makes the headlines of my newspaper which read "Child saved by quick action of Deborah Kay Andrews". Debs, you are my hero. You are my front page story.
Now I should leave the story right now but I can't resist because I know Debs quirky sense of humor. I propose that she put a sign behind the desk of Wisconsin Vision that says "if you faint when you see our bill, we'll get you to the hospital in time".
Love ya Debs.
Love,
Dad
now you embarrassed me.......keeping a low profile was good.
Mom is right, you guys should take a CPR coarse. Then you can choose who to save and who not too. DAD!
I love it. There is nothing more remarkable than someone who saves another's life -- especially a child.
I am absolutely amazed that this story didn't get any media attention, but to me that only means that far more important forces are taking note of this great deed. You definitely have bushels of great Karma headed your way, Debbie.
You’re definitely a hero :)
