I took my 69-year-old father to watch my son, his beloved grandson, play baseball at a sports complex in Harrison, AR. Just before the game began, our world was turned upside down when my dad went into cardiac arrest. In that terrifying moment, Mica Layton, an off-duty LPN from Baxter Health - Ahren's Clinic, stepped in with incredible bravery and compassion. With remarkable focus and determination, Mica quickly checked for a pulse and took control of the situation. She calmly guided those around us to lay my father on the ground and began CPR. Leading the charge, she initiated the first round of compressions and then took over with the rescue breaths, while my husband worked alongside her. Her calm demeanor amidst the chaos showed just how dedicated she was to saving my father's life. CPR continued for several agonizing minutes until the ambulance arrived, and the paramedics had to use a defibrillator on him a couple of times. Thanks to Mica's quick thinking, expertise, and unwavering resolve, my dad not only survived to celebrate his 70th birthday just a week later but also suffered no brain damage and is expected to make a full recovery. Doctors at the hospital emphasized the rarity of surviving a traumatic event like this, and they credited Mica's swift actions as the reason my father is still with us today. Though she isn't his nurse at Ahren's Clinic, her ability to provide the EMS team with his medical history was invaluable. Truly, Mica is a hero—her selflessness and commitment made all the difference for our family during a moment of fear and uncertainty. We are forever grateful for her extraordinary actions.
