CHAPTER 6

That night Rudiger awakened to a sound he couldn’t identify. He sat up in bed, alarmed, looked to see Katie wasn’t in the bed, then heard her voice. “Breathe!” she said, “Breathe!” He felt a bolt of panic, jumped up and ran into the living room. He saw Katie standing over Frank through the doorway adjoining their rooms. Frank sat in his wheelchair, gasping for air, his eyes showing terror.

“What’s wrong?” Rudiger said.

“An attack,” Katie said, her voice urgent. “A bronchospasm, but he’s coming around.”

Katie held a rescue inhaler in Frank’s mouth, gave him another spray. “It’s okay, Daddy. It’s passing.”

Frank’s breathing slowed, his eyes closed and he nodded to her. Katie waved Rudiger off, and he went back to bed. A half hour later Katie came to bed.

“He’s sleeping, breathing normally,” she said.

“Has that happened before?”

“A few times in the last year. Dr. Dewanji says it comes on after a very stressful day or if he gets overly excited. Today may have been too much for him.”

“What was that inhaler?”

“A bronchodilator. Relaxes and opens the airways.”

“Maybe you should show me where you keep it, just in case he has another attack and you aren’t around.”

Katie nodded. Rudiger could see she was still rattled. He put his arm around her and pulled her to him. She rested her head on his chest. She said, “It’s times like this I have to force myself to face the reality that he won’t be here forever.” A few moments later he felt her tears on his chest.
