May 5, 2011 - update from last journal

Good morning everyone,
Please read my last journal in regards to the guy who went down while running at my 5K training group run, then you will understand what I am talking about.  (Go on! read the previous one first - I am not going to say the whole story again).
It has been determined that the guy who fell down while running last night has indeed passed away.  apparently he had a immediate MI.  which explained why they  were doing chest compressions on him when I passed him.  He was a multi-organ manager at Buffalo General.  He spoke at a nurse residency program on Wed.  We are all heartbroken about it. 
I am feeling so sad right now.

That is terrible news. I am so sorry that the guy died trying to get in shape. We sure never know what a day will bring do we?

I know what you mean. You never know. People have to be careful - even if you don\'t have heart issues, things like this could happen. apparently from what I heard he wasn\'t even 50 (he did look to be in his early 50\'s, 4 kids, a wife who is a nurse in our neuro ICU).

Horrible news. That is so sad. I\'m sorry this has happened. Life is precious, we need to not take it for granted.
