My Two Year Surgiversary

[Dtrain84 939]

My 2nd surgirversary was on Thursday, it was also the 3rd anniversary of having my trach removed. Just 5 months earlier in October 2015, I suffered from sudden cardiac death and was dead for over 5 minutes. I was revived after receiving 4 to 5 shocks from and AED( automated external defibrillator). My airway was damaged while being intubated which brought on the emergency tracheostomy. Being that I was outside walls of a hospital when I had my cardiac event, the survival rate for sudden cardiac death is 3%. You guys are looking at a miracle who is 130lbs lighter.
