Well this is going to be one of the hardest blogs I probably will ever write about! Hayden's father Tracy Hall passed away exactly 2 months and a day after his father. ( October 11, 2011.) He passed sud
denly, no one even new it was coming. Tracy had problems with his artery's in his legs, he had stent's and bypasses done way before I met Hayden or his family. Tracy was healthy and took good care of his health. He ate healthy and exercised everyday, so it was a shock to all of us that he left at the age he did "48".
We were all hunting one day up at medicine lodge. Bailey had just shot her first deer, tracy was so proud of her! We all went back to the campers to eat, then Nat and Tracy and the 2 little girls left to hunt for Nat and Tracy's deer. They went one way and Hayden and I went the other. ( i regret not following them) a few hours passed we hadn't heard from them so we decided to
go on top where we got service to call everyone. And once again we got the phone call we never have wanted. His aunt stef had told us his dad has been hurt the ambulance is on the way. They told us where they were we headed right for them! We got there Tracy was on the ground next to the pickup with EMT's all around him. I will not forget that image in my head, I see it every night when I close my eyes. Hours passed as they did CPR on him and tried everything but couldn't get him to breath on his own! I won't ever forget when the life flight paramedic came out of the ambulance and said he didn't make it. The look on my mother-in-laws face and my husbands face, it was a look that you can't even describe but I knew i had to be there for my in-laws and my husband!
When we got home I got the whole story from my mother-in-law so I'll explane everything to you.
Natalie had just shot her deer, Tracy and Bailey climbed the cannon to get the pickup and bring it down to the deer so they can load it up and take it back to the camp. Bailey in a hurry as she always is just jumped out of the pickup as Tracy was driving down the cannon. Right as she closed the door and headed down the hill, she heard honking she looked up and seen her father slumped ov
er the steering wheel. He has his foot on the gas revved all the way but the pickup was healed back by something, to this day we still don't know what it was. Natalie ran up the hill as fast as she could not knowing if that pickup was going to go straight down that cannon or not but she had one thing on her mind was to get him out and do CPR. She got the pickup some how in park and got Tracy out. She started CPR and had the two little girls call 911 The girls were on the phone with them for hours trying to explane how to get to where they were at. Finally an hour passed still no ambulance has got there Natalie was so worn out she couldn't continue so she sat there and taught the 2 little girls how to do CPR a 10 year old and a 13 year old performed CPR on there own father! Those 2 girls still to this and always will be my hero. I would never be able to do that to my own dad. They did it tell there mom caught her breath then natalie jumped back in and did it tell the ambulance got there, a hour and a half later. We got there when the ambulance did too. We all just had to sit back and wait. And hours went passed, us still not knowing what was going on thats when the paramedic came out and told us he didn't make it. Tracy passed away October 11, 2011. I will miss you and I love you so much Tracy! Yes we had our differences, and our arguments. But I try not to remember those memories.
I remember the memories that were good from when i first met you tell I last talked to you! I love you so much please say hello to grandpa, Ann, and our baby diesel! R.I.P dad we will see you soon! MUAH!
