First Responder Carol Reeder: On June 13, 2021 I had to be taken to St. Paul’s OSF Mendota. Unknown to me at the time my spleen was coming apart. Carol is an emergency room nurse. From the time I walked in Carol was doing everything to take care of my needs. After test were ran, I needed to be medivac to Rockford for emergency surgery. I was bleeding internally. In the end I had to be in ICU for 15 days of my total stay of 25 days. Even though she was “just doing her job,” without her skill, I may not be here today! Carol is my hero! Tony Troyer
