The most striking piece of this, to me, is "40% survival if under 3 minutes; 5% survival if more than 3 minutes". I commented to Erin during the event that they seemed to be taking their time and no one seemed to be rushing him into the ambulance and then into the hospital if he were not breathing. Obviously, we weren't privy to the inner workings of what was happening, but I pray they got him resuscitated within those 3 minutes as that survival rate drop is dramatic. Thank you for sharing this page.
