At five o’clock on a Sunday morning, I woke up to a sound I never wanted to hear again. A wet, rattling breath that signaled real trouble and sent us rushing to the ER. What followed felt like living inside a real life episode of The Pitt.

This episode tells the story of that morning, the chaos of the emergency room, and the calm that took over when panic would have made things worse. It is also about advocacy and how sharing the full story can change a diagnosis. A lifelong heart condition finally came into focus, and everything made sense.

A Gen X reflection on fear, clarity, and the sound you never want to hear twice.
