I am getting a little ahead of myself in the timeline with this post, but haven't gotten my photo's from last week up just yet...
Today I arrived in the factory and was getting the guys all set up for the day when Diana came stumbling in completely out of breath to inform me that they could not wake up MJ(Marvaline Johnson). A little history... MJ has a number of health problems, the most serious being Lupus. I dropped everything and hammered up the hill to the apt. building and ran into her room. In the short ride up Diana explained that they had tried to shake her awake and had even tried a glass of water. I felt for a pulse and it was so faint it took a few seconds to be sure. About that time Pastor Damian came running in and between the two of us we carried her out to his van. He took off with her, Geneva and Diana for the Hospital and I took his kids and dropped them off at school. As soon as I dropped them off I headed for the ER arriving not too long after they did(everyone says I drive like a Jamaican taxi:) After helping to interpret for the doctor and nurses the information Geneva and Diana had, Damian took them back to JDV and I stayed to wait for results from blood tests and everything. After about 1.5 hours on IV's MJ came to. We then proceeded to wait until after 5pm before we got results from one of the tests... They discharged her then and told us to come back tomorrow for the results of the other test.
Jamaica Hospital ER was a first for me... or as Granpy would have said, 'I went there twice in one day... My first and last time!' or at least I hope so!!!
