I know I don't come on cc often, or ever, but I have a giant prayer request and I would appreciate it if you guys would consider it in your prayers.
Yesterday morning at 9 AM I was at work (I work at a daycare center) when a commotion outside caused my boss and some of my coworkers to run out of another classroom into the hallway near my room and yell "CALL 911!!!!" I panicked but could not leave my classroom due to having to maintain teacher/student ratios. I had some assumptions as to what could've happened - I heard a baby crying, shouting, frantic 911 calls. Since this was near the kitchen area, I assumed a baby had gotten out of the infant room, crawled into the kitchen, maybe burned himself or eaten something small and choked or maybe crawled into the dishwasher or something. A few seconds later someone flies into my room and says, "we need you to do cpr, go!!!!!!" (I had just taken a CPR class along with some of my coworkers). So I run out, expecting to see a child on the floor, but instead I see the mom of an infant (whom I have had conversations with) on the floor on her back, eyes and mouth open, staring at the ceiling. Her skin was blue and green, and I thought she was dead. My boss was doing CPR, and as we learned in the CPR class, every 2 minutes someone else has to do it so that the compressions are forceful. I relieve my boss and begin to do the compressions, blowing air into her mouth until paramedics arrive with the AED and begin shocking her. I was shaking very badly afterwards and have not been able to get her nightmarish face out of my mind. It was like something out of a horror movie that you never expect you'd see in real life. I cannot begin to describe the feeling of desperation I felt at the time, doing compressions and hoping she's going to sit up any minute now and tell me she's fine. But the paramedics took her away, saying it was very serious. She is 31 years old. Please keep her in your prayers, I can't function until I know some updates on her condition. It may have been a heart attack, I don't know. She looked OK when she dropped off her oldest son in another classroom, had a conversation with his teacher, and was on her way to drop off her infant in a car seat when it happened. The baby was crying because she had dropped the car seat on the floor when she went down. It's so awful I can't even explain :/ I appreciate your prayers.
