Emergency response
Grateful thanks to all who rescued son
On Feb. 3, our dinner was interrupted with a gut-wrenching phone call informing us that our son, Josh, was being airlifted to Harborview Medical Center. Very few details were given, leaving us to wonder if he was dead or alive. Arriving at the emergency room, we discovered that Josh sustained devastating injuries. If not for the quick and professional response by Boeing Fire Department, Paine Field Fire, Everett Fire Department and their outstanding medic personnel, we would not have Josh with us today.
Although he has a long and difficult journey ahead, we are confident that he will recover with the help of the exceptional and caring staff at the Harborview Trauma Center and the prayers of all of his friends and family.
We are also sincerely grateful to the Airlift Northwest critical care team and to the Boeing Co. for their support and respect.
Our deepest gratitude to all involved in Josh's rescue.
