on April 11 th Robert woke up and got our kids ready for donuts with grownups . As he was putting our daughter in the car our son said he started running and yelling for me. I heard him, I yelled kinda panicking what Robert while running to the door. When we met he just stood there looking into my eyes and said my heart dabney help me. I heard it in his voice that something was wrong. we then ran to the couch so I could help him lay down. He said my heart is beating so fast dabney . It’s not slowing down this time call 911 . I called immediately! He screamed I tried to keep him calm . I said Robert just breathe in your nose out your mouth slowly Robert . Inside I’m panicking but I always remain calm just for him so he doesn’t see me freak out . Like this is my only time to be strong when it’s his heart . He doesn’t need to be anymore afraid then he has to be. I’m always calm and I just usually rub him and talk to him to keep him calm because his pacemaker paces him out of his ventricular tachycardia usually but This time it was just too much. He had been out of medicine but since his appointment was rescheduled they wouldn’t give him a emergency supply of meds. His doctors office said it was too much of a liability to give him any without being seen first. But He screamed so much because his defibrillator just kept electrocuting his heart. And it hurts him. It’s shocked him so hard I felt it through my body and jumped. My Robert said to me after about 6 shocks as he’s struggling to breathe but the dispatcher said he was calming down but he wasn’t calming because he had a choice. He said few seconds after she said that … I’m about to pass out . I said he’s about to faint what should I do. She said he’s still pushing air he’s good. I looked and his eyes went separate ways . I begin to cry and yell please hurry . He’s not talking , he not moving he’s shaking. She said like a seizure? I didn’t say anything because it didn’t look like that but I just explained before all this that it was his heart and it beats into the high 200s . The responders came and they walked into our home taking their time. They also told me he was breathing but his body was so calm and I’m like help him. He needs cpr and air. I checked his pulse I checked for breaths but I couldn’t feel anything. The man then says I can assure you he’s breathing. The others still weren’t inside at this time . I run out and say what the hell. As I’m running down my steps one of the responders are just sitting in the front seat and eating . Like Throwing a snack into his mouth . All while my Roberts precious moments are just being stripped away and he’s laying on our couch dying . I say what the hwll are you doing? His eyes get big and he says I’m coming. Two finally come in. And they still haven’t given him breaths or checked his heart. They put him on the floor they struggled to get him off our couch to the floor … and his head just fell back lifeless. It hit the floor. They finally got him on the floor and then begin to bring him through the door still no cpr. Robert had been still and then it’s like He took his last breath ! I mean it was so big like he had been under water for too long and finally come up

for air . gasped for a breath and I looked right into his eyes. My Robert was agonal breathing. He was taking his last breaths my heart sank. They just put him on a stretcher. And still walked him to the back of the truck they weren’t rushing at all. Like just a normal day for them. It was a abnormal one for us though. Our 3 babies just sat in the yard asking was daddy ok? I say just don’t move stay right here yal. Finally I begin to see the truck shaking. After I ran around to put Roberts phone in so he could call me when he was better. Robert was breathing and he left our home unresponsive. It took the emts. 6 mins to get to our home when it took me 1 min and 1 sec catching all green lights. The doctors said from the time that the emts got Robert to bringing him to the hospital and being in triage he went without oxygen and his heart wouldn’t beat on its own for 20 mins . I want to get a autopsy for Robert . Because the nurse also, had him on lidocAin after being given orders to stop it by his cardiologist. She was very upset and pulled the nurse outside . The cardiologist at atrium said too much lidocaine will cause toxicity. Robert was breathing for 16 hrs on his own. He was also maxed out on fentanyl and chemical paralytics and then just was done . I know the doctor said he heard you because as soon as he heard your voice we were able to keep him up. I don’t know I need answers. I want those people to be held accountable. The doctors said his brain was so swollen that it pushed his stem into his neck! They said it was a rare way that he passed and it only happens to 1 in 100 ppl. They said they hadn’t seen a case like this is a very long time. I need help , I need a autopsy , I need a lawyer, I need my Robert. Our car is also not working .it wouldn’t start today . Anything would help . This is just a small goal to help me for Robert. I truly Thank you for reading . Please share Roberts story. Robert did everything he could to be here, everything he could to make me happy and to be with his children daily and make them happy ! it will be 18 years that he’s been my best friend on Dec 23rd! That’s over half our lives that we have been best friends! I have never been mistreated by Robert , he’s taken care of us all . He was a man but the love he had and gave to our family was motherly like . Sounds weird but he wasn’t like a human being he really was my superhero, gentle and so loving . Like I wanted to be just like him. to have such a “weak heart” is unfortunate for such a beautiful spirited man with a loving heart.  it was definitely strong enough for me. Robert is so much love and joy and I’m gonna keep our family as such. I’m trying Robert .but On 4/13/2022 at 4:44 they declared him legally deceased. You know I I thank you my Robert, I appreciate you always and I love you my beautiful friend. As you always say peace my love .
