"As I’m on the floor with Dave dead and lots of fluid is coming out of his mouth and the other places in his body. I keep my emotions in check, even though I’m absolutely heartbroken and terrified at the shock of having my beloved husband dead in my arms," she continued. "My nurse is also on the floor right next to myself and Dave pumping away really hard performing heavy CPR."COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER RONNIE MCDOWELL RUSHED TO HOSPITAL MID-PERFORMANCE AFTER SLURRING WORDSThough a nurse informed her Dave was "gone," Cici said she refused to "give in or give up on a miraculous intervention, anything to get my husband back alive."Cici said the nurse kept performing CPR on Dave, per her wishes.
