Incredibly Grateful

Hi all,

I nearly lost my husband last night, and I can truly tell you that I have never been so afraid in my whole life. It was so random...we were watching TV and I heard him breathe funny. I tapped him and told him to wake up, that he was snoring. When he did it again, I looked over at him and tried to nudge him. When he didn't respond, I stood up and looked at his face. His lips were blue and his arms and legs were cold to the touch. In a panic, I shook him and tried to get him off the couch. I knew I couldn't help him and I called 911. It seemed like it took forever for them to get there, but when they did they gave him some kind of a shot and he came to. But he didn't know what had happened, he thought he had just been sleeping and wondered why all these strange guys were in our house. In the end, they took him to the hospital where his vitals stabilized. But the paramedics told me that he would have died if I hadn't called them. It freaks me out...normally, at that time of the night, I would have been asleep and wouldn't have noticed. I don't know why I was awake, why I was alert, why we were so lucky that I looked over at him. But I was for some reason and I am unspeakably lucky today.
