Echoing this experience. My elderly mother had COPD and collapsed at home. My sister and father called 911 and the paramedics started immediately upon arrival to revive her. My sister knew where the DNR was--in a hallway closet file box. But in the stress of the moment it took awhile to put hands on it and present, and the paramedics would not/could stop efforts until it was presented. My point is--a highly visible, easily accessible place in the home would have helped greatly. Keep up these discussions to find the method that works for you/your family!
