Mommy wont like it, Jaime complained. Hurt
Mommy.
Jaime, we need to do this so Mommy can wait for
the ambulance. Please do what Ive told you to do. Ill
explain to Mommy.
She sounded urgent, even though he couldnt hear
her inside voice. He knew sometimes people tried to
stay calm when they were very frightened. He did.
And he was very frightened right now. It didnt seem
right, but Jaime picked up his mothers bloody hand
and wrapped the cord around and around her arm.
There wasnt as much blood coming out any longer.
He couldnt hear the phone as well now.
