Tonya G's Experience

Experience description:
My life was very stressful my marriage was
starting to fall apart I had two teenage daughters in high school and a three
year-old boy. I suffered with asthma my whole life younger really bad and into
adulthood became manageable, but seemed to be getting worse during this time.
All the kids were getting over being sick and I seemed to have caught it and was
self medicating with all these over the counter cold and flu meds. So the girls
were in bed, it was night time. I was putting the baby to sleep on the couch
with me and by the time he fell asleep I remember I could not even get up to put
him in his crib I could barely get the words out calling my husband to get him
he was in our bedroom but I did he came when he took baby out of my arms I said
'you may have to take me to the ER I can barely breathe I am scared! he put the
baby in his room came back I told him forget taking me call 911 please!!! I
remember pacing my breath trying to remain as calm as possible from all the
years living with asthma I remember whispering to him because talking was making
my breathing more difficult tell the paramedic/fire trucks to please not use the
sirens if possible I did not want to frighten my children. The forestation was
seriously two blocks from our homier that very short amount of time I still
remember it but at the time seemed like all was slow motion??? and as the
seconds ticked by I remember OMG this is it I cannot believe it I new I was
going to probably die!?? I was on the couch then somehow ended up laying on the
ground at the threshold of my front door with door open my husband was outside
all kids still asleep in their rooms. As I lay there taking my last short gasps
of air I was looking toward my dining room and say this what I can only describe
as a back mist it was a large mass and it was coming towards me fast clinging to
the ceiling and walls I was in SHOCK and my first thought was 'NO! my KIDS OMG
they are to young they still need me I cannot die!'
this may sound dumb but my last breath and words were when this mist reached me
were and I whispered it to 'it' F#$% YOU I AM NOT READY TO
DIE. and I passed out. Then like I said I remember a little after
like the paramedics rolled up quite that gave me comfort my kid would not see me
like this I remember cursing the mist I vaguely recall being wheeled out of my
home and a paramedic squeezing bag at my face not ride to hospital then them
rushing me in a room to work on me telling my husband he could not go further I
had stopped breathing that's it. Then like it was that same moment or so
thought, I awoke taking a huge breath gasping my wrists were restrained I had
this thing on my face some other stuff hooked up to me on this bed I was
freaking out could not move alone in this room saw a call button on the side of
my bed its late at night I was pushing the button crazy and this really nice
nursed walked in and she said ''oh, good she touched my cheek you finally woke
up!!' she told me I had been there for over a week that my kids came everyday
touching, kissing and talking to me to PLEASE WAKE UP. Remember none of it, like
I said it seemed only minutes from the time I took my last breath on the floor
at my front door cursing that mist to the tome I awoke. I felt pretty terrified
I remember. I had to stay another whole week with that respirator down my throat
until I was strong enough to breath on my own. I remember that hospital scared
me I spent the second part of my stay there alone a lot of the time this I
cannot explain either but I remember it I could not understand or explain it to
myself but whatever that mist or thing was it was hanging around my room I saw
it I felt it I saw it in a TV commercial somehow sounds unbelievable like from a
horror movie but was laying there in my hospital bed commercial comes on it
wasn't mist it was the actors don't even really remember what they were saying
BUT IT WAS THAT THING????? I remember the rest of the days sensing it I stopped
watching TV and recall 'talking to it in my head only' but I knew or felt it was
death saying to it YOU CAN GO BECAUSE I AM GOING TO GET BETTER STRONGER AND
GOING TO BE FINE. I WILL NOT STOP BREATHING ANYTIME SOON.
