90 Minutes in Heaven Page #3

unless it's a grave situation.

All right.

- Hello?

- He's unable to hold the phone himself,

so I'm gonna put it

up to his ear.

Don?

How are you?

I'm so sorry

that this happened.

It's not your fault.

I just wanted

to come home, Eva.

Please let me come home.

Please let me go home.

All right.

Thank you very much.

They're doing

an assessment.

Uh, what do you mean...

Uh, what is "assessment"?

They need to assess his injuries

and try to stabilize him.

There's a chance

that Don may move hospitals.

I'll take

the twins home with me,

so you don't need to worry

about the boys. Thank you.

Hey, I'm driving you

to the hospital.

No, no, that's...

You don't have to.

I will drive you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

He's deteriorating rapidly. I don't

think he's gonna survive the afternoon.

Put him in an ambulance

and take him to Houston.

This facility

isn't equipped.

Don't you think we should

helicopter him to Hermann?

No. Nobody's flying

in this weather.

As my condition was

deteriorating rapidly,

it was decided

to move me by ambulance

for the 80-mile trip back

to Houston's Hermann Hospital

which had

a much better trauma center.

Still, I kept wondering

why God had brought me back.

Ah, hey,

you gotta do something.

You gotta...

Medicine, plea... You

gotta give me some medicine.

- I've given you all I can.

- No, you gotta give me more.

Ma'am,

my name is Eva Piper.

Has my husband,

Donald Piper, arrived?

- He's in transit and should be here any moment.

- He's not here yet?

No. He'll be coming in from

over there when he does.

Don? Don? I'm here. They're

gonna take good care of you.

Listen to me.

It wasn't your fault.

You're gonna make it.

Ma'am, we've gotta go.

You're gonna make it.

We need you to fill out

these insurance forms.

Thank you.

I know, uh,

Don's date of birth.

I don't know his

social security number

or his insurance company.

I don't know the amount

of the deductible.

Don's always taken care of this. I don't

have the answers... It's okay. It's okay.

These are the easy questions for now.

All I know is that Don is

supposed to lead evening services.

He's meant

to preach tonight.

They already

have that covered.

I don't know

any of this.

Ma'am, I filled out

what I could,

but I don't... I don't have

his information.

I'll get it to you

tomorrow. That's okay.

We deal with this situation

every day. Thank you.

Oh.

It was heartwarming

to know Eva had the support of our

friends and fellow church members

in her hour of need.

Surgeon Kelly,

please report to Room 25.

It's been over an hour.

I can't stand the

tension of not knowing.

I'm gonna find out what's

happening. Eva, Eva.
