A friend’s pregnant daughter, who had had a stroke, was declared dead in the ER. Her gurney was pushed away into a corner. Friend begged for a resuscitation attempt, or effort to try to save the baby, to no avail. Then friend said in her daughter’s ear that she had to squeeze her finger, or both she and her baby would be allowed to die. Firm squeeze for Mom, and another firm squeeze for a disbelieving nurse. The daughter and baby survived. Baby is now a mother of two.
Families should remember the hearing is last to go, and that it’s necessary to be vigilant and assertive.
My Dad was writing a book on a Monday, had a heart attack on Tues. and was put in intensive care where nurses had standard orders to administer a great range of medication, without additional Dr. approval. He was so loopy from the med that he was declared demented on Wednesday. Yes, we became assertive.
Hearing is also supposedly the first to develop and read it is at an earlier stage than previously thought. God is a wonderful creator. oh, my. just thought about those with hearing loss or born deaf. All life is precious and should be defended. Then there would be no doubts.
