Memorable Event
A Memorable Event in My Life My father died at the young age of 48. He was my pillar, my hope and he was the one that helped me not be scared of the future. I was ten years old when my dad died and I felt like I had lost everything. I became unhappy, unwilling to talk , and most of all almost suicidal. His death was a memorable event that I cant forget: before going to the hospital , while being in the hospital and after the catastrophe.
He had a sudden heart attack. He’d been having chest pains all night but convinced my mum it was just indigestion. He was also sick a number of times. My mum booked a doctors appointment for him, he insisted that he drove himself and that my mum was to go to work. And she asked him to text/ring her when he got home and to make sure he was alright. It got to an hour after his appointment and mum still hadn’t heard anything, so she rang my brother mobile to make sure he was home and safe, he presumed he had just come home and gone back to bed forgetting to let her know. But, my Dad never made it to the doctors, he hadn’t even made it out of bed. My brother found him, so we took him quickly to the hospital.
We arrived the hospital with an ambulance . After that, the nurses came quickly to help us with a wheelchair . His face was all puffed up, his hands and legs looked swollen. And there was not even a slight sign of activity on his shape.Then, I moved with no a shred of awareness to the operating room . My brother and We waited two hours and no one called us .I looked around for the duty doctor to talk to. I saw Dr.Marwan , who also saw me, but looked away pretending to see another patient in the ward , who was looking quite, awake and recovering. I attempted to speak to the nurse but she had nothing to say and said all question must be addressed to the doctor. when I received that dreaded news from that doctor at the hospital lounge .We came immediately and said it is a little serious?. I rushed to the upper floor

The local hospital air lifted him to Duke Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE and ANGINA. Once he was at duke, he was told he had a major heart attack and was put in the INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (ICU) for EXTENSIVE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. He was told he would have to go on the transplant list. To be eligible for the transplant list, he had to go through numerous test to see if he could handle a transplant. During these test he had to see the PULMONOLOGIST due to having DYSPNEA. The pulmonologist used a BRONCHOSCOPY to look at the inside of the lungs. He was then diagnosed with PULMONARY EDEMA, and told he might not be eligible for a transplant due to the fluid in his left lung and a possible hole in his left lung. They used ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION to clear the fluid from his lungs. He spent another week in the intensive care unit (ICU) and his lungs cleared up. The doctor found he did not have a hole in his lung, and he was then put on the transplant list. He got his cardiac transplant one month later. While doing the transplant they had to break his STERNUM which took about 6 months to heal. After the transplant he had to go on IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE medicines to…

    Quite possibly the most impactful event in my life was the death of Harriet Williams. Harriet was a foster mother and a devout Christian. She had fostered six children to adulthood and one of her own. When she stumbled upon me I was only 2 months old and the story she would always tell was and I was so cute that she just had to adopt me but because she didn't want to make the other children jealous she adopted all of them as well. Harriet had enough love in her heart to adopt 7 other boys and two girls all because she loved me. Looking back on it now she probably said that to all of us but it will always be special to me. So for the next 14 years I had a family just like any other family but also unlike any other. My mothers thought was that…

    The most memorable time in my life was my daughter's cleft palate surgery. It was January 4th when my daughter and I had to leave El Paso, TX to take a trip to Austin, TX. It was a long drive for a little baby like her at the time she was only two years old. Early that morning my parents took us to the bus station.The bus was leaving at 6 a.m. in the morning to get to Austin, TX at midnight. My daughter and I felt it was the longest drive ever as the bus was very full and kept stopping. Finally, we arrived to Austin at midnight. I had to walk around for some time until I found a cab to take us to the hotel. I was scared and nervous. I was all alone with my daughter in a city we didn't know. We arrived to the hotel and finally felt safe and some peace. As soon as we walked in the room, I called my family and let them know we were good.…

    A mole is just another common mark on the body, which everyone has, so what’s the big deal, right? Well, some are just common markings, while others can be life threatening. My family learned this all too well back in February of 2014. It’s never a perfect visit to the dermatologist when you get a mole removed from your head, only to find out after testing that it was positive for melanoma. I remember a minor surgery was performed on the neck and two lymph nodes were removed to be tested. Great news everybody, they were found to be cancer free! Now, stop and think how many lymph nodes are in your body.…

    It was toward mid-senior year in high school. Maybe February. I was anticipating which colleges would accept someone like me, and trying to enjoy as much time with friends as I could. I was with my best friends, appreciating a beautiful Southern California day, and had come to realize my last days as a senior were coming to a close. I was a perfect day; big white clouds covered the skies, along with the beaming sun hitting the earth. The oceans breeze in our faces, and our shades on. High-wasted shorts and crop tops were the main clothing we’d wear, and if it were cold we’d just layer a sweater over it. We were living the “Cali lifestyle” because I live in an area where most of the students at my high school were half Caucasian and half Asian. I live in an area where the beach is only ten minutes away. Seeing dolphins or whales from the cliffs is a regular sight to see. Going to big bear during the winter is normal, and so are trips to Hawaii. Fortunately I had the opportunity to meet the greatest friends and best friends I will ever have in my life. But there is a lot you still don’t know.…

    After that text, we left and headed to the hospital. As we drove to the hospital, I could feel the sick feeling in my stomach growing worse and worse, I felt like throwing up. I was scared, and so was everybody else. The car ride was mostly my mom sparing us the details of what happened while my dad raced us there. “She has internal bleeding in her legs. She arrived early this afternoon.” Mom said, and didn’t say anymore. She was probably thinking that we were already scared enough and that my younger…

    The most memorable event in my life was when we moved out from Russia to a country that changes lives and is known as a dream land called the United States of America. When we sat on the airplane that was going toward the United States in August of 2004, we knew our lives are going to be changed in the way we always wanted them to. After twelve years of not going to school and being discriminated by Russian citizens, this moving to a new country was the most amazing, not just in my life generally, but for my entire family as well.…

    I went upstairs to my room and made a get well card for him. It was made out of blue construction paper and had black writing on it; I finished it off with a panda bear sticker. Inside I had written how much I loved him and to get better soon. I proudly presented it to my mother; she took one look at it and began to cry again. I climbed on her lap and she said, “He won’t get better, we have to take care of him the best that we can”. He has diabetes she explained but my naïve eight year old mind just did not know what diabetes was. I did not understand. Whenever I was sick I went to the doctor and he always made me better, but this time even the best doctor’s hands were tied. It was this very day I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up…I wanted to make my little brother better, I wanted to be a nurse.…

    On August 3. 2012, shortly before I turned 22, my mother suffered from a severe subarachnoid hemorrhage (also referred to as a brain aneurysm).The day that changed my life forever was not dissimilar from any other normal day. I arrived at work and took to my duties when I received a composed, un-alarming call from my brother. He informed me he called an ambulance to have our mother transported to the ER because she was acting, “super weird.” He told me not to worry, it didn’t seem serious. My mother and I have such a special, close relationship so of course I was still worried. I could tell that he could hear the concern in my voice. He assured me not to be worried, that although the situation sounded dramatic, it didn’t seem as though she was in any danger. He suggested she was probably simply dehydrated or malnourished. Being that the ER was less than five minutes from my work, I figured I’d meet her there, just to be safe.…
