My Hero!

Last night in Chattanooga there was a multi-car accident.  There was an 18 month old child ejected from one of the cars, and the driver of the car, a male, picked up the child and attempted to leave the scene.  A nurse from Erlanger Medical Center was on her way home, heard that a child had been injured, and stopped to help.  

She saw the man leaving with the child and approached him and tried to communicate, but he didn't speak English.  So she used hand motions to try to get him to understand and try to get him to put down the baby.  At first he refused, but she persisted and stayed with him until the paramedics got there, at which point he handed over the child.

It turns out that the man had kidnapped the child!  I don't know if they know why, but I've heard that it could have been a drugs/ransom type thing, but that could be a rumor.  So I guess the guy was trying to get away from the scene with the child before he was caught.  Who knows what would have happened to the baby if he had succeeded.  

And here's the kicker.  The nurse was none other than Kendall, my cousin Adam's girlfriend!  I've known Kendall for years, and she is such a great person, and this just proves it!  My girls love her to death, and on top of being a great nurse, she trained as a masseuse too and gives great massages.  I can't say enough good things about Kendall, and what Adam's waiting for, I don't know, but I'm fixing to call him and see when he's going to make an honest woman out of her.  I'm sure he'll appreciate that!  

Thank God for people like Kendall, who react the way we all hope we would react if a crises occurred.  She is an angel, plain and simple.
