When Nicky trained to become a community responder, it was because she felt as if she had become ‘lost in parenting’. What she didn’t realise was how invaluable it would be in saving the life of her very own husband.
Life changed forever for Nicky Lack, now 44, and husband Michael, now 43, almost five years ago
She recalled their daughter Mollie, then 10, went down to join them and they all sat chatting and watching TV.‘I looked over to Michael and saw that Michael was lying on the sofa, gasping for air and his eyes were fixated. ‘I was screaming and started CPR but then made the split-second decision to go out to my community first responder car and grab the defibrillator. I think adrenaline just kicked in.
‘It was so surreal because everything had been so normal – a normal family day – until it wasn’t normal anymore. It all happened so fast.’ Without immediate treatment or medical attention, the person will die. If you see someone having a cardiac arrest, phone 999 immediately and start CPR.Nicky added: ‘When he was allowed to come home, that was really scary for me. Not only was I really frightened and worried it would happen again but as he had to give back his driving licence for six months after his cardiac arrest, I suddenly had to cope with driving four young children everywhere they needed to be myself.
