Prayers for your bothers recovery and healing. All did their jobs, just as you did, what you had been trained for.

I thank the Lord for a great outcome and know that you were there for a reason. You saved your brother's life.

I appreciate the prayers and kind words of support from all. I really can't take much of the credit... if any at all, because it was truly the first responders who should get all of the credit. There's no way I could have written a rescue script that could have went any smoother if I'd tried to. I really don't know if I could have taken the stress of a rescue with any sort of bumbling or disorganization. There was none of that.
The scariest part of the whole thing to me is: Since the shooting mishap happened while my brother was home alone working on his new pistol. He could have easily passed out from the pain and/or shock before he made the decision to jump in his car and come to my house. He claimed the pain upon impact of the bullet was so overwhelming that he went to the floor in such pain that he could not believe it. You wouldn't believe the blood trail that he left from his kitchen table to my front driveway. It does give me a great sense of pride to know that my brother knew if he could make to my house... I would do the right thing for him. Heck, my brother did just as much or more than I did while we waited for the cavalry to arrive.
Fortunately, he did not loose consciousness and remembered driving past my house an hour or so before the incident happened and saw me chipping along on my yard work. There is little to no doubt in my mind... if he would have lost consciousness... he would have likely bled to death on his own kitchen floor. I felt so bad for him that this even happened... but I do thank God that everything went as smoothly as it did since it did happen to him. He's going to have a long and tough healing and rehabilitation process for sure.

Prayers lifted up. The EMS guys are great at what they do but those life flight guys are on another level. Glad your brother will be ok.

What a wonderfully well written report Special K! Excellent job, had me hanging on to every word. Sorry this happened to your brother of course, horrible experience for you and him both and appears you both handled the situation very well. Hope he recovers quickly and is left with no after effects.
