A special thanks
On a recent skiing trip to Aspen, my husband experienced chest pains at the top of the mountain resulting in his having three stents.
We can never thank enough all those involved, from the ski patrol that brought him down the mountain, everyone at Aspen Valley Hospital, the air ambulance, but especially Drs. Salcedo and Carroll and all their team at the University of Colorado Hospital.
Not only was the medical treatment we received first class, but it was the help and kindness we received by so many individuals that we will never forget.
