Toddler’s mother thankful for rescue

Published: June 28, 2007

Recently at BroMenn Regional Medical Center, I became trapped in my vehicle.

I had locked myself out and climbed through the hatchback and lost my balance and fell forward and became trapped.

My 2-year-old son was with me crying and I couldn’t comfort him. I lay there trapped for 20 minutes.

I could hear people walking by and I was screaming for someone to help us. Only one person stopped and I don’t know her name, but she was our hero.

She called 911 and a female police officer came along with the fire department. I don’t know which city they were from or anything. I would like to thank all of them.

Now, looking back at the situation, what a sight it was for them to see. But they handled it professionally.

I can’t tell you how much I am grateful for all of them. In that time, I realized how helpless I as a parent could become, and it was the scariest day of my life.

Too many people take them for granted. Thank you with all of my heart for rescuing my son and I. As for the lady passing out ribbons from Baby Fold that called 911, I thank her the most.

If it wasn’t for her, how long would I have been trapped there and who would have held my baby and blocked him from the cold? Thank you all so much!
