A South Jersey school nurse is being hailed as a hero for saving a grandmother's life during school dismissal earlier this year.
She says she enjoys her job because she gets to help kids with everything from stomach aches to lost teeth.
"You know, in the school system, there's that combination piece where it's very important for the children to be safe and healthy in order to learn," said Cobb."Parents were checking in to pick up children. Buses were about to be called," she said. An aide had rushed into Cobb's office to say a grandparent had collapsed on the blacktop. It was 56-year-old Deborah Stone.Stone says the day of the emergency was just like any other Friday. She had walked to the elementary school to pick up her grandson, but felt odd once she got there."I woke up several hours later in a hospital, and they said I was fortunate to be alive," said Stone, who later learned she had gone into cardiac arrest.
The staff team which Cobb had trained for situations like this controlled the crowd and helped EMS get on the grounds.Two months later, Stone is on the mend. She spent a week in the hospital and has been following up with weekly appointments since.
