Dirkson is a big guy: 6 feet 2 inches tall and 205 pounds. Ariana weighs 115. Yet she still managed to break four ribs of his ribs as she worked to get that faint heartbeat. It was no easy feat. At one point, Ariana said, Dirkson had fluid in his mouth and she needed help turning him to clear air passages. By the time paramedics got Dirkson to Rush Copley Medical Center, he had to be shocked three times to get his heart stable, and was put into a four-day coma that eventually led to a couple of stents.
