Friday Night

RING! RING! 10:50pm

The call. “He collapsed. Ambulance. We don’t know anything. Will call when we know something.”

Trembling.

Scared.

Trembling.

Terrified.

“Daddy. Oh God Help him.”

Waiting…

Waiting…

Waiting…

Ring! 12:02am

“Major heart attack… working stabilize… will transport to big city… will call with news”

Crying…

Just breathe… in…out…in…out…in….

Ring! 2am ish

“He is in the cath lab… damage less extensive than expected… two stents… in lots of pain…”

Waiting…

Dozing…

Thinking…

Waiting… dozing…

Ring! Jump up Breathing hard, pounding Heart…. 3:55am

“Hello?...”

“Pulled through… in recovery…Thank God… 5 to 7 days in Hosp... He’s joking with nurses… Call you in the morning.”

Sigh

Tears… relief… trembling….

Fading…

Sleep.
