An Arizona mother, Karen Glaser, struggled to keep her son David alive during a 16-hour power outage that disabled his medical equipment. The outage, affecting over 4,000 customers in Coolidge, Arizona, caused extreme heat and forced residents to seek alternative cooling methods. Glaser’s attempts to manually sustain David’s health included using water-soaked rags and suctioning saliva as temperatures in her home reached 100 degrees.
