Mother offers her thanks to men who aided her son

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Dear editor:

On Sept. 30, my little boy, Gavin, 2, and I went for a quick shopping trip at the Mountain Home Walmart.

When we arrived at the store, I noticed that my little boy was starting to run a temperature, not hot but just enough to begin to concern me. I told him that we would just get what we needed the most and then quickly go home. Within ten minutes time, my son had a seizure! He has never had one before nor have I ever witnessed one, so fear took over and I began to scream for help.

Immediately, two men came to help us. One man quickly realized that we needed an ambulance and called 911. The second man held my son's head and calmly spoke to him, while at the same time tried to assure me that everything would be OK.

A month later, I am happy to report that my son is back to being fun, happy and silly as ever. I never did get the names of the men that came to our aid that scary day. Their faces I will one day forget. The one thing I will carry with me always is how grateful I am that you two were there and chose to help us that day!

Thank you so much,

-- Cheryl and Gavin Crane, King Hill
