Hannah Perez walks into her bedroom after a long day at work. She sets her things down, begins undoing her blouse and pours a drink. She lays down on the bed. Her peace is short lived. A sharp pain in her thigh causes her to flinch. She rubs it realizing it doesn’t feel better. She gets up and tries to walk it off, but she ends up getting faint. She calls out for her EMT boyfriend. He’s still at work though…
Hannah loses her balance and falls to the floor. She begins crawling. Her thigh goes numb. Then the other. She drags her legs behind her using her upper body only. She grows weak and eventually begins seizing and choking. She falls silent.
Some time later, her body spasms back to life. Hannah is drenched in sweat. She pulls her bodysuit off her torso. She tries to continue crawling, but doesn’t make it far. Noticing coming from her nose, she panics. Moments later she has fallen down again, convulsing. Vomit spews from her mouth.After several cycles of seizures, she falls still.
Hannah’s boyfriend walks in the door from work, expecting a typical evening. He enters the room to see her state. Immediately, he checks her pulse and turns her onto her side to try and clear her airways. Then he lifts her up and puts her onto another spot on the floor where he begins doing chest compressions and mouth to mouth on her. No response.
He runs to get his AED machine and defib pads. He rotates between chest compressions, mouth to mouth and defibbing. After a couple cycles, Hannah begins coughing. He scoops her up and brings her to the couch.
He sets her on his lap straddling him and comforts her. He kisses her. Hannah tells him she loves him. As this happens, she goes into another seizing fit. Her boyfriend supports her head on his shoulder, the lifts her up and returns her to the floor for more resucitation attempts.
