Everything happens for the reason. It truly does. Sure I had the choice not to go into work today (I work on the wait staff at an old folks home). Sure I could have skipped to hang out with Caitlin(my gf). For some reason I just new I had to be there. For some reason I just had to get that section, and for some reason I was reading the chart on the wall for emergency situations. For some reason I went to refill her coffee, and for some reason I just wasn't fast enough.
She had thrown up on her self a little bit, and as i went to hand her a napkin, and she tried whispered to me. I went in closer to listen, and i heard nothing, and then she gave the sign for choking. her being in a wheel chair I tried to give the heimlich maneuver, and it just wasn't working. I screamed for someone to get my boss. Once he was there we wheeled her out of the dinning room, and we got her out of the chair, and my boss began compressions, and the cook cleared her air passage. I told the lady at the front desk to call EMS. She began to turn blue, and all I could think of doing was to pray. After the EMS arrived and intubated her, she began breathing, and all I could do was pray, and that's what I'm still doing....
Mrs. Lee you are in my prayers, and I thank God that you are all right.
