It\u2019s hard to imagine a worse scenario\u2013 driving with someone who has a heart attack or stroke and loses control of the car.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

That\u2019s what happened yesterday to actress-activist Alyssa Milano in Los Angeles. Her Uncle Mitch became ill and Milano managed to steer the car to safety. It must have been incredibly frightening.<\/p>\n

Now she says in a series of Tweets that Uncle Mitch\u2019s recovery is uncertain.<\/p>\n

In a press release the police saidMilano\u2019s uncle was driving a Ford SUV when he drifted into another lane, hit another vehicle and \u201cstarted to have an unknown medical issue (possible heart attack),\u201d the report said. \u201cWith the assistance of a Good Samaritan, they were able to bring the Ford to a stop in between the #1 and #2 lane,\u201d the press release added.<\/p>\n

Milano wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday, my family suffered a terrifying and traumatic event. I was a passenger in a car my Uncle Mitch was driving when he suffered a serious heart attack, resulting in a car crash. I am grateful to the people who stopped to help us. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll never be able to thank them enough for the care and attention they, along with the first responders, doctors, nurses, and staff at UCLA Medical Center paid to him and to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncle Mitch is such an important part of our family. He\u2019s with us every day, spending time with my children and present in every meaningful part of our lives. He\u2019s still in the hospital, and we are unsure if he will recover<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope that you\u2014and especially you in the media\u2014will afford him and my family the kindness of privacy as we move through this incredibly painful time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please, take this as your inspiration to get CPR certified. You don\u2019t know when you\u2019ll be called upon to save a life. The American Red Cross and many hospitals and other organizations offer regular classes. It\u2019s such a small effort and can have a huge impact.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So send prayers and good thoughts to Uncle Mitch and the whole family!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
