Some concern Wednesday evening

On Wednesday evening, we were finishing up supper when we heard a siren and then saw an ambulance enter the RV park grounds. It stopped on the other side of the park from our site, and, being curious, we headed out to see what was going on... We didn't go to where the ambulance was, but up to the fire pit area where friends were sitting.

It seemed that one of the ladies had collapsed and the folks with the lady contacted 9-1-1 and then let Steve know that an emergency vehicle was on its way.

The workers on the ambulance were concerned about readings that they got on the lady and asked the Sheriff's Department (who had arrived after the ambulance) to call for a helicopter transport. Our friends Jan and Steve went a little east of the campground on the frontage road and the sheriff's department vehicle a little west to stop traffic on the frontage road and provide a place for the helicopter to land.

Once the lady was awake, she refused transport, so the helicopter left:

The ambulance stayed a little longer, but it eventually left without transporting the lady too.

Evidently, the lady had not hydrated during the day on Wednesday, and after they got parked, she went outside and started to take a drink from her cup, and collapsed. The ambulance workers were concerned that she may have had a heart attack, but I guess she felt confident she was merely dehydrated. As far as we know, she did alright through the night and they left early on Thursday morning.
