Thanks to life-saving intervention, I still have a son
My son celebrated his 31st birthday recently. I wrote an “I'm so proud of you” message on Facebook telling of his senior graduation party night where they went up North Crow to party and my son ended up getting so drunk he passed out and aspirated on his vomit.
Three tribal police officers went up to check on the party and found my son unconscious and not breathing. They quickly put him in their police car, did CPR and got him to the ambulance, which drove him to the helipad at St. Luke Hospital in Ronan, where he was life-flighted to St. Patrick’s in Missoula and put on life support.
I highlight this incident because my son continued to struggle with alcohol for a few years, but after realizing the damage it was causing in his life he quit drinking and has been 100% sober for three years now. He’s living proof that it is possible to change.
