Extraordinary Measures Page #2

John.

Has she told you

about the trip

that Fiona's taking with her

remote-controlled car?

Yeah, yes, she did.

You're right. That's right, sweetie.

You're gonna see all the penguins,

aren't you?

She might send some postcards

or something like that.

Lots of good stuff to see along the way...

It's okay.

like icebergs and

maybe a polar bear.

How about some seals?

DR. PRESTON:
As you know,

Pompe patients suffer muscle deterioration

in every part of the body,

so this sort of respiratory

complication, well,

that's just an inevitable

fact of the disease.

Mr. Crowley, Mrs. Crowley,

Megan is not

responding well.

Okay? Now, we've done everything

we can, but she's just...

There's nothing more

we can do. I'm sorry.

As you know, she was already

well past the life expectancy,

for, you know, Pompe kids.

After all, it's not

just her lungs, okay?

Her heart, her liver,

these organs have been compromised

and would've

become fatally enlarged.

Now, I wish that we had a drug

to treat Pompe,

but we simply don't.

I'm so very sorry.

Look, maybe...

Maybe you can find

some small comfort

in knowing that Megan's

suffering will be over.

Maybe you can see

this as a blessing.

(WHEEZING)

(ALARM BEEPING)

Megan?

Help!

Help! Help!

AILEEN:
Megan?

JOHN:

Help! Help!

Baby girl, can you hear me?

Please, someone come help!

NURSE 1:
321!

Megan Crowley, room 321, please!

Code Blue!

Baby girl, Mama's here, all right?

Let's go! Page Dr. Heder.

NURSE 1:
Asystole!

Yeah, right through here.

AILEEN:
Can you hear my voice?

Can you hear Mama?

DOCTOR 1:

Starting compressions.

NURSE 2:

I'll switch her out.

Over here, please quickly.

AILEEN:
Hang in there, Megan.

Hang in there, baby, okay?

I need to bag her.

JOHN:
Aileen?

Some room right there.

DOCTOR 2:

Let us in, all right?

Please, Mrs. Crowley, let...

Stop it!

Let us help her!

Please... Megan!

Aileen.

DOCTOR 2:
Epinephrine, 0.1 mils per kig.

NURSE 1:
Got it.

DOCTOR 1:

Still no pulse. No reading.

Forget the weight, come on,

get it in there! Aileen, Aileen.

NURSE 1:
0.1 epi.

It's all right.

Come on, Megs.

Come on. Come on. IV push.

DOCTOR 1:
Okay, just give

the epi a couple seconds.

NURSE 1:

Still non-responsive.

All right, charge the defib.

NURSE 3:
Charging.

Your daughter

is some fighter.

She's gonna be okay.

Oh, my God.

Now, look, she's still a very

sick girl, obviously,

but her vital

signs have improved

and I'm cautiously optimistic.

So, I guess you could say

we dodged that blessing, huh?

Mrs. Crowley,

these came for Megan.

Thanks so much. Thank you.

PETE:
Hey, John?

Huh?

Any time you're ready, man.

You gonna tell us

about the product launch?
