Kaylee
“Kaylee…Kaylee. Kaylee, can you hear me?” a woman’s soft voice called out to me.
All I could see was darkness. All I could hear were beeps and buzzing noises. And I couldn’t feel much of anything.
I knew I was lying down, but that’s about all I knew. When I tried to open my mouth to speak, I found that I couldn’t.
Moving my arms seemed impossible, too. And then I began to panic, but only inside my head. My body wouldn’t move at all.
“Wiggle your fingers, Kaylee,” the woman said.
It took everything in me, but I managed to wiggle the fingers on my right hand. Then I did the same with the fingers on my left hand. Another voice—a man’s voice this time—encouraged me.
“Great job, Kaylee.” A hand ran over my toes. “Can you do the same thing with your toes now?”
It made no sense
