being looked at in the SS and the ER and then going to do all these tests.

And then at that time I was past the six hour mark.

So I wasn't able to get that medication.

that could reverse all these defects.

It was too late.

And they were just saying like, it was past that mark and we don't know exactly when she started the stroke, so we can't get the medication to her.

and my mom was still in shock, and she didn't know how to handle it.

And my dad and my stepdad were driving down separately, because my mom left when she found out what was happening, and she left before my...

She said that if it's nothing, I don't want you to come if it's nothing, but if it's something that I'll give you a call and I'll give her dad a call as well.

So she called my stepdad and my dad and saying like, you need to get down here.

My stepdad and my dad weren't on the best of terms because it's like when they get divorced and they just... It's weird.

It's just... My dad didn't like my stepdad because it's just how it goes.

I just remember them telling me that they just...

got into the car, started driving and then like they started to talk and then I actually like cry and, you know, having the heart to heart.

Cause you know, about like this whole situation was like so much for both of them.

Cause I've had my, my stepdad in my life since I was 11.

So at that time, eight years.

And I've had my dad in my life forever.

So like both of them, like I just love dearly like so much.

And so like it was just hard for them to like to hear what was like actually going on.
