For crying out loud you thought he might be dead!! If you are still uncertain, after all of us have said you made the right decision, go over and talk with him. Get to know him and take this time to open those lines of communication.<br /><br />Also, you are teaching your daughter to be compassionate, empathetic, and brave!!

If the man holds it against you for being concerned about his health, he's not much of a human being. When my Dad had an ICA, he wasn't able to move or speak. Had my brother not been home at the time he would probably not be here now.<br /><br />Don't worry, and congrats to you for being willing to step in and help. Many people would not have for fear of being caught up in court or something.Xarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153088513567525516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-56846944883813182692011-04-05T21:30:57.221-05:002011-04-05T21:30:57.221-05:00Don't worry about the finances, that can alway...Don't worry about the finances, that can always be figured out. What can't be figured out after the fact is his health. If he did indeed have a stroke and then went inside who knows what would have happened.

That there is only a charge if they transport you (even if they come out you can request to have a family member/friend drive you to the hospital). What if the man had died? I think you would have felt much worse. What would you rather have on your conscience?

If so, there's a fee for the ambulance ride.

I would have done the same... glad you took a chance, and I'll keep my fingers crossed and say a few prayers that he's going to be just fine - and that he has the finances/insurance to take care of the situation. *HUGS*Rustihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912613768193549878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-52001148916248444002011-04-05T12:24:23.230-05:002011-04-05T12:24:23.230-05:00You absolutely did the right thing - don't wor...You absolutely did the right thing - don't worry about the finances or second guess yourself.
