Last night Jeannette & I took a CPR class geared toward children
& infants. There was no certification, but apparently the
information was the same. I was impressed with how simple of a process
everything was. The American Heart Association does a great job with
the training class, called "Friends and Family," and we had a really
good teacher. The thing we talked about on the way home was why more
people don't learn something that is both so simple and so important.
Busyness is obvious - as it was our excuse for the two years we've put
off doing it since we first learned about the class. Or maybe just not
realizing the ease and necessity. In my opinion it was worth the time
(one 3hr class). Hope I'll never have to use, but I understand how to
now if necessary.
Not your typically "church" post here, but something I think is very important for all of us. If you've never taken a CPR class, check with your local school or hospital to see if they can provide information as to when and where classes are.
