Could you save someone's life if you had to?

I'd have to say that I now feel that I could handle a situation involving someone needing CPR. I have taken this class for the past 3 years and I finally feel comfortable with what I have learned. Thank goodness I didn't need to perform CPR before this, right?? The preschool has us take this class every year and we always have the same great teacher. Here's our fearless leader now:

You can't tell it, but he has a screwdriver in the "babies" ear and is tightening something. Thankfully our teacher has a great sense of humor and lots of stories to share. Sitting through a 5 hour class could be a bit boring, but not with him!

We learned how to perform CPR on all ages... here is Amy working on her baby:


And here is Amelia and Yanel working on the bigger manikins:


We learned how to handle different situations... stroke, using an epi pen, using an AED (not an ADD, Julia) and how to handle flesh wounds. Here you can see a few of my co-workers trying to bandage a fake head wound I had:


Thank goodness it wasn't real otherwise you could have just pulled the sheet over me and pronounced me there! They were trying to figure out how to wrap my head without messing up my hair! LOL No worries there!

And here is our teacher showing us what he would do to us if we weren't quiet:


I am thankful I have never had to use this knowledge and hope I never have to. I am also thankful to our teacher (a local firefighter/medic) who takes his time to teach us these skills.....

OK, I just had to jump up from the computer because evidently Haylee wanted to test my knowledge from today... her finger was bleeding pretty good and she was crying her head off. It was only a small cut but I handled it! =} Whew!
