To the Hockey and Buffalo Communities,
I want to share with you a traumatic experience that my fiancée, Carolina, and our families experienced this offseason.
While on vacation in France early this summer, Carolina began to feel sick for a few days, which quickly turned into her experiencing major heart failure. Fortunately, she received CPR on multiple occasions, and up to a couple of hours at a time to keep her alive, which ultimately saved her life.
Without her receiving lifesaving CPR, the result would have been unimaginable. It is hard to even think about the worst-case scenario.
She was transferred to a hospital where she remained on life support for weeks before she was a beneficiary of a heart transplant while still in France.
