    After a final follow-up visit at Saint Luke's North Hospital, 82-year-old Carl Linck and his grandson are entering the holiday season with an extra sense of gratitude.

    Carl and his 15-year-old son, Parker Van Sickle, were driving on the highway this summer when Carl suddenly went into cardiac arrest. Parker quickly jumped into action, steering the car to the side of the road.

    Carl and Parker talked with KCTV and KSHB about their story and the gratitude they have for another holiday season together.
