24-year-old Kyle Hewlett has a lot to be thankful for after the critical care team at Holy Name Medical Center did CPR on him for over an hour.
TEANECK, N.J. -- Kyle Hewlett and his mom, Gina Gilmore, have a lot to be thankful for. Hewlett's critical care team at Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, New Jersey saved his life after he suddenly went into cardiac arrest. On Monday, Hewlett, 24, and Gilmore reunited with the hospital team. 'I just remember yelling 'Save my son! Save my son!' And they did. And I'm forever grateful,' said Gilmore.
Stephen Angeli, an interventional cardiologist at Holy Name Medical Center, said CPR for that long is rare, but they were determined not to let Hewlett die. 'Kyle was showing signs that told us that he was there, he was OK, he was still present underneath all of that,' said Angeli. Indeed, Hewlett was partially awake through all of it.'I was fighting in my head to open my eyes, whatever I could do so they wouldn't give up on me.
