Friend of mine is a paramedic. Whilst out one day she witnessed a man having a heart failure, he was not breathing. My friend just went into automatic drive and saved the mans life, just like we would turn on the tap. After, my friend briefed the ambulance crew and then we walked away. Changed the way I treat my friend though, I'm always first to buy a round now.

Knowing Harry's Dad as I do, I have no doubt he will achieve his aim of getting a defibrillator in schools across Brighton.
It will take time I am sure but he will get there. And any other instances like this will also have a happy conclusion .

Wise words indeed from you, My Lord! As a First Aider myself I'd urge everyone who gets the chance to do a First Aid course. You might never be called on to use that training, but look at this fantastic outcome for one of our own. Best wishes to the lad, his family, and a big THANK YOU to the lady involved and to the oft-maligned staff of the NHS - there when we need them......

Great News - Harry has had his mini-defibrillator fitted under general anaesthetic this afternoon (Thurs), and all went according to plan. Provided there are no more hiccups he will be home in BN41 with Mum, Dad and big brother Olly this coming Sunday. Then another three weeks before he can go back to school (cant see him being too worried about that - just means lots of playing on his tablet, PS4, watching Cartoon Network and cuddling his Rats). Targetting a return to the Amex for the Burnley game on the 2nd April!
Thanks for all the great messages on here, for the NHS, Paramedics, CPR trained school staff, and his brilliant parents who have been totally by his side these last seven days!

Hi Everyone
I'm twowheelsbests son and Harrisons father, sorry it's taken me so long to log in and say thanks to you all for your great messages of support. i wanted to let you know that harry is doing really well back at school and will have his next check up on the 6th April, at this point all being good we'll get a wi-fi connected interface with his ICD that will send all the info back to his consultants at the evelina!
Some of you may have also have spotted our storry this week in the mirror and of course on the front page of the Argus today
we've already started work with the BHF to get Christine further recognition and will also be applying for a humane society award. We are also really please to be working with the Connor Saunders foundation who are going to supply Harrisons school, Peter Gladwin with the next defibrillator they raise funds for.
The club have been great too, we have Harrys shirt replaced, a signed away shirt by all the first team, a signed programme from kayal and even a little video message form Kayal as well. We have also been promised a ground tour by the club which I'll be arranging soon.
So just wanted to say how important it is to know CPR if you've learnt before, go on a refreshed, if you havent check the St Johns Ambulance website for courses near you and ask your PTA if you have kids or your workplace if they have plans to install a defibrillator at your local school or in your workplace, it really does save lives.
thanks again for all your support, harry will be coming back to the Amex for the Burnley match hopefully cheering us on to a win.

Before the game yesterday Harry + Big brother Olly (plus Dad and Grandad ) were taken on a changing room and pitchside tour with the the legend that is Bob Booker. It was a fabulous experience and Harry got to get his photo with Player of the season and his favourite Kayal! We also had photos with CH, Stockers, Tomer and Bruno - all lovely guys and happy to take time out with us before a vital game for the club. A Big Big Big Thank you to Paul Rogers for arranging it, and for Bob's insight and humour.
And I got my picture taken with Legend Gerry Ryan!!!!!!!!!! - if you know me on facebook, you'll see all the pics there
Finally of course, thanks to the NSC community for all your good wishes and messages of encouragement during Harry's illness and subsequent recovery

Terrific stuff from all at the club. My wife works with Alex (Harry's dad) and she's said how chuffed everyone has been by the club's work (and the school too, and as a former Peter Gladwin school student, this also makes me proud) - So glad Harry is here to watch this exciting end to the season - and many more seasons to come!
