Couple Celebrates Team Effort in Life Saving

A Tualatin woman called 911 and started the "chain of survival" that saved her husbands life last month. Thursday, Sandra and Raoul Meeckom celebrate their 12th anniversary with the links of the chain at Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Station 34.  A 911 dispatcher coached Sandra through CPR for about five minutes when Tualatin Police arrived with one of five portable defibrillators kept in patrol cars. Rescuers say the continuous chest compressions and shocks delivered along the chain are what saved Raoul's life and prevented brain damage.
