A typical school run turned out to be anything but for Los Angeles-based psychologist Kristie Holmes, who ended up having a heart attack during her drive.
During her drive, Holmes decided to call 911 and she warned her three kids in the car that she was making the call. Holmes, who says she’s never called 911 before, still wasn’t sure what compelled her to call, but she says “I just knew I had to call. I was sure of it. Something was definitely wrong.”
The ambulance finally arrived and parents took Holmes’s children into school. Her daughter’s former preschool was across the street and the headmistress came over and took her baby. “Everyone helped,” she says. “It was very small town for LA.” Holmes later learned that her heart was functioning at 10 percent, and she was sent to surgery. There, doctors put five stents into her heart and connected her to an Impella heart pump to help her heart function.
