I don’t know the personal events that led to the death of Khristin’s son. However, I can relate to the absolute despair and grief that comes when you bury a child. I think that Khristin is entitled to a little “wishful thinking,” as you describe it. The fact that Khristin can get out of bed every morning after losing a child is an admirable feat. The fact that she wishes to direct so much of her energy into helping other children, by placing AED devices in facilities, whether it would have actually saved her child or not, is a miracle.

Does this web site select what comments can be made about articles? This is a repeat of my original comments. Khristin Carroll should be applauded for her efforts in enlightening the public about the need for AEDs in public places. However, Khristin sells her commitment by a false claim that an AED would have saved her son’s life. The sad fact is that Tim Carroll died with no one present so an AED in this particular circumstance was not a solution. Khristin needs to separate fact from fiction in order to move on with her life.

Khristin Carroll mission to promote AED deserves applause. However, her lack of candor that an AED would have saved her son’s life is wishful thinking. What Khristin fails to say is her son was alone when his heart stopped beating. Sad event when someone takes a good cause to promote their own personal needs.
