A lifesaving traffic stop
Kemira had just jumped in the shower when her mother Tammy banged on the door. Kemira’s 12-day-old daughter was ___1___. Having fed baby Ryleigh just 30 minutes earlier, the new mother burst out of the bathroom and began patting her daughter ___2___ the back. Ryleigh was usually quick to cry. Now she didn’t make a ___3___, “I’d been told to raise their arms when babies are choking, so I tried that, but she still was ___4___ to breathe,” Kemira said later. She knew Ryleigh needed to get to the hospital fast.
The three had barely ___5___ it out of their neighborhood when the flashing lights of a police cruiser appeared behind them. Deputy Will Kimbro figured that the ___6___ driver was either too distracted to notice him or simply unconcerned. Kimbro soon found out it was a frightening ___7___ of the two.
Once she’d ___8___ to the curb (路边), a frantic Tammy jumped out of the car, exclaiming that her granddaughter had stopped breathing.
Desperate for help, Kemira handed the baby to Kimbro. He put a hand on her little ___9___. Ryleigh’s heart was barely beating.
Kimbro radioed for a(an) ____10____—it was seven minutes out, and the hospital was even further away. That was seven minutes Ryleigh didn’t have, her lips already an ominous shade of blue.
Luckily, Kimbro had recently completed a CPR class and knew ____11____ how to treat a baby. “Although I was ____12____, my training kicked in, and I went to work to keep that baby ____13____,” says Kimbro. He gave Ryleigh to Kemira to hold, his hands busy as he checked for a pulse. Then he began tapping and kneading (揉) Ryleigh’s chest, hoping to massage her heart back into action. Thanks to the CPR class, Kimbro knew the choking baby didn’t have a ____14____ if there was a blockage, and he used one finger to clear her airway (气道). That was the magic touch; 20 seconds later, Ryleigh began to fuss. Then came a whimper.
“If she’s crying like that, she’s breathing,” said Kimbro. The ____15____ was obvious in his trembling voice. “____16____ she’s crying, she’s breathing.”
But they still had five more minutes until medical service would arrive, and Kimbro worried that Ryleigh would choke again. He continued with delicate chest compressions and periodically clearing her airway.
In the body camera footage, Kimbro can be heard ____17____ Kemira, the approaching sirens wailing in the background: “I didn’t feel a heartbeat earlier, so I started massaging her heart and now I feel it. It’s real strong now.”
At the hospital, Ryleigh ____18____ quickly, and she was back to her ____19____ lively self in no time—thanks to a ____20____ police officer who was in the right place at the right time.
1. A. laughing B. crying C. murmuring D. choking
