Healer

So, put your fingers on the edge
Like this
Push out slowly
Then up
Then in
No no in
It’s okay; you can’t imagine it in three dimensions
You can feel it roll

Oh my god

Good!
You know, I could never understand it
Tommy, he…
Well, they…(…somethingoranother)
And so they had to split his sternum in two

Right

They had it sewn back together, but
He coded seven times
How did they not break the sternum?
I mean, gosh, when I saw it–
You know, in CPR, when you’re giving compressions,
They have you go ALL THE WAY down
Almost to the spine

Yup. Yeah, that’ll happen…

Tommy’s nurse saved his life
He pushed so deep
I thought for sure he’d break the sternum

Yup

He was in asystole
That nurse really saved his life
The AED wouldn’t have given a shock

Wow… that’s

I mean, he was just, really–

I can’t talk about this anymore
Please

All right, all right,
That’s all right
Just couldn’t believe it is all
How does that feel?

It feels like…
It feels like
It never hurt at all
Unbelievable

What happened is
The tissue surrounding your heart
Just got
So tight
So tight it just
Sucked it back,
Almost to the back of your rib cage

Why?

Well, the heart is responsible
For love and fear
So, maybe you were having
A strong emotion of love or
Maybe you’re worried about something?

Fear?
So, like panic?

Yes. Definitely.

Well, that explains a lot…

So, remember,
Roll it left,
Push up–
Not that much! Just a little bit
And don’t worry about going in
You know, this stuff,
It’s like handwriting in the first grade
Of course, the teacher is going to have the best handwriting
But the point is to learn to write yourself

Gotcha
Thank you so much, Mom

You’re welcome, Gianni
Now, WHAT is this little one doing?

AHHH!!!

Do you have time to go to the park
Before you head home?
Do you think she’d want to?

Hmmm,
Watcha think, kiddo?

DAH!!!

Yeah
Let’s go
