ACAD and Ambulances.. ???

So this morning was rather interesting. I woke up early to go let the dogs I’ve been dog sitting out before going to my 9:10 class. It’s normally hard for me to get up anyway, so going and taking care of these dogs every morning has really been wearing me down. I’m so glad tomorrow is the last day!! But I get to my ACAD class and everything was pretty normal. We have the sweetest old lady professor, Dr. Hawes. We met in the computer lab today, and when I went up to talk to her she had collapsed and wasn’t responding much. I yelled for Maggie to call 911. Dr. Hawes was acting super strange, and when I lifted her up from the wall, she was dead weight. At that point my heart began to beat rapidly, I wasn’t even sure if she was breathing. I felt this intense fear crawl over my body. I put my hand over my mouth and she was breathing so that was a good sign. Finally the police came and Maggie and I explained what happened. Shortly after the police, the paramedics came and of course asked us again what happened. She was still acting very weak, and they said she might have had a stroke. Dr. Hawes was placed on a stretcher and wheeled out of J M Smith Computer lab into an ambulance. Hopefully she will be okay. I’m just glad I could be of help. I keep thinking about her, hoping she is okay. Maggie and I plan to visit her this afternoon if she is still in the hospital. So if you pray, keep her in your prayers. It’s not everyday that your teacher has to get rushed away to the hospital, so I must say this Friday was quite the Friday.

Wow I did not know this happened to yall this morning! I am really sorry because I would probably be really freaked out but I am glad that yall helped her! And I know you have to be tired of dog sitting because you have to get up super early every morning but at least you are getting paid!
