I’m sitting in the ER waiting room right now, waiting to go back and see my Mom. She was complaining of pain and being hot all last night, I stayed up with her to watch her, but she kept refusing to go to the ER.

Early this morning she collapsed in the bathroom. My dad called 911 then, I wanted to call an hour earlier but her refusing and my dad agreeing to let her sleep a bit stopped me. As we moved her to the front room to wait for the Ambulance she stopped breathing and her heart stopped. We did CPR till EMTs got there. Currently she almost stable but not in the clear yet.

Tl:Dr; Mom was too stubborn to go to the ER, I wasn’t stubborn enough to convince her till it was almost too late. It might still have been.

Don’t hesitate to call 911 if you think at all someone needs it.
