Things Change
Chapter 2
It was the middle of the night, about 2:00am. Katie woke up crying and was cried for about 2 minutes. Then, she suddenly stopped. Kim got up to go check on her. Kim walked into the room. Not hearing anything anymore, she walked over to Katie's crib to make sure her daughter was okay. Kim picked Katie up. Kim could usually feel when Katie was breathing, but she couldn't feel it this time. Then it hit her. Katie wasn't breathing.
"Katie, wake up." Kim said with a light whisper. "Come on Katie, don't scare mommy." Katie didn't move. Kim ran back into her room to get Bobby.
"Bobby, wake up! Katie isn't breathing. She was cr-" Kim couldn't catch her breath.
"Wait, slow down Kim. What happened?"
"It's Katie. She was crying for 2 minutes and then she stopped. Bobby she's not breathing!"
Bobby then sprang out of bed.
"Okay, Kim. Take deep breaths. Calm down. Remember we're paramedics. Check if she's choking on something. I'm gonna go call an ambulance. Go to Katie."
Kim ran out of the room and back to Katie's room.
Bobby reached over to his night table and picked up the phone.
" 911. Please state your emergency." The operator answered.
"I'm a paramedic from the 55th. My daughter isn't breathing. Please send an mbulance and hurry!"
"What is your address, sir?"
"4386 Oak street."
"Okay, I'm sending an ambulance right now." Bobby hung up the phone. He ran into Katie's room.
"Bobby, she isn't choking on anything. She's not breathing and I can't get a pulse." Kim said crying. Joey then walked into the room.
"Mommy, what's happening? What's wrong?" Joey asked while he rubbed his eyes.
"Nothing sweetheart. Katie's just not feeling well. Go back to bed." Kim replied trying to stay calm. Kim didn't think Joey should know about what happened. At least not yet.
After Joey left, they started to do everything that they could for Katie. Bobby was doing CPR while Kim was waiting for the ambulance.
A sudden thought hit Kim. What were they gonna do with Joey? They couldn't leave a 10 year old home alone at 2:00am.
"Bobby, we haveta take Joey with us."
Bobby looked up. He realized Kim was right. "Go get him." he told her.
Kim went into Joey's room and woke him up. "Sweetie, Katie has to go to the hospital. You're gonna have to come with us."
Joey groaned. "But I wanna sleep." He yawned.
"I know you do. But this is important."
Joey got out of bed and followed his mom out the bedroom door.
On the way back to Katie's room, Kim heard a knock on the door.
"Go in the kitchen." she told Joey.
She quickly opened the door and let the emergency workers in.
"I don't know what happened. One second she was crying, the next she wasn't even breathing. She's not breathing, and she, she doesn't have a pulse." Kim stuttered.
The paramedics entered the room and saw Bobby giving her CPR. They walked over to Katie.
"Sir, let us do our job."
Bobby nodded and went over to Kim.
"Joey's in the kitchen." she whispered to him.
"Go be with him."
"But...." Kim started to protest.
"I'll stay here with Katie."
Sighing Kim left the room.
The paramedics checked Katie's vitals but she didn't have a b/p or a pulse. they could hardly get anything. They quickly picked her up and put her into the back of the ambulance.
"I'm going with you." Bobby told them.
The paramedics looked at each other. One of them started to say no, but the other said, "Fine. Your wife and son have to go separately."
Bobby nodded. He turned to Kim. "I'm going with them." He shouted.
Kim nodded, looking dazed.
One of the paramedics looked at her. "She shouldn't drive. Have your wife come with us and you take your son."
Bobby agreed. "Kim, get over here. You go with them."
"But Joey.."
"I'll take him. Go!" he shouted.
Kim nodded and walked towards the ambulance.
"We'll be at Angel of Mercy. Meet us there" One of the paramedics yelled to Bobby. He closed the back door and got in the drivers side.
Bobby stared at the ambulance, a tear sliding down his cheek.
