8 Ways of Being - Kyra Oliver
Introduction
I received the worst phone call imaginable. Hayes isn’t breathing,
said the voice on the other end. I rushed to the hospital. They would not let me see him. They said he wasn’t there yet.
Not there?
I would have gone where he was.
I was hysterical and they threatened to escort me out if I did not calm down.
CALM DOWN?
I just received a phone call that my precious baby is not breathing; my precious baby—my entire existence in this world, a love that I have never felt in my life; a love so strong and powerful—nothing one can really understand until they have a child…and they wanted me to calm down.
I calmed down. I did not want to be taken out of the hospital.
Moments later, I was taken to a room. A dark room. I recall a couple of lamps and a few friends already in the room. I found this to be bizarre. How did they know? Did they know something I did not?
I realized that this nightmare was my life.
The hospital chaplain walked into the room.
The lights went out.
My life became a very, very dark gray.
I asked to go to my son. They warned me that they were trying to revive him.
REVIVE HIM?
Horror became more horror. I walked in to find my son with tubes everywhere and about five people working to bring him back to life. A part of me felt that he already died, but they wanted me to see their efforts so they started working on him to appease me. We moms know these things
