It was a sunny October day. My husband, Anthony, and I sat with our three kids\u2014Ella, seven; Luca, five; and Zoe, two\u2014as they drew with sidewalk chalk in the driveway. The whole family was enjoying the last bit of nice weather before the winter. Everything felt warm and peaceful<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, Mama! I\u2019m drawing Mario!\u201d said Luca, scribbling with red chalk.<\/p>\n

Of course. Luca was obsessed with the Nintendo video game character<\/a>. \u201cVery cool,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

Luca clutched the red chalk in his little hand. \u201cRed is a nice, hot color,\u201d he went on. \u201cFire is red. Mama, do you remember when I was in the hospital and I was on fire?\u201d<\/p>\n

I froze. Goosebumps rose on my arms. Anthony and I caught eyes, and I could tell both of us were wondering the same thing: How could he possibly know?<\/i><\/p>\n

All the memories from that traumatic time, the ones I tried to forget, came flooding back. Luca was born on September 20, 2007\u2014a perfectly healthy 10-pound baby. But three weeks later, he woke up in the middle of the night, screaming in pain, with a fever that wouldn\u2019t go away. We rushed to the hospital. They gave him medicine and hurried to hook him up to a bunch of wires and machines. The doctor said Luca needed to stay for a while so they could run some tests and find a diagnosis.<\/p>\n

The next couple days were a blur. Anthony and I set up camp in Luca\u2019s hospital room. My mother drove up to watch Ella. Luca\u2019s fever wouldn\u2019t go down. No one could figure out what was wrong.<\/p>\n

Two days into Luca\u2019s hospital stay, my mother brought Ella to visit. I was holding Luca\u2019s tiny hand and singing softly when an alarm on one of the machines sounded. Doctors and nurses swarmed into the room, pushing me from Luca\u2019s bedside. Ella started to cry. My mother ushered her out of the room.<\/p>\n

Nothing felt real. I couldn\u2019t see my son through the medical team surrounding him. Over the noise, I heard someone say Luca\u2019s fever had spiked to 104 degrees and that he wasn\u2019t breathing. Someone else shouted that they needed to intubate. I felt sick. A nurse tried to move me away, but I refused to leave. We stood next to the window. The nurse held my hand as I broke into sobs. Anthony pulled me into his arms.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, God,\u201d I prayed. \u201cLet him pull through.\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how long the chaos lasted. Eventually, things calmed down. Luca had a silver tube down his throat and was hooked up to a ventilator, but he was stabilized.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, that day was a turning point. Luca began to improve. Doctors believed he\u2019d made it through the worst of it. His fever broke. Color returned to his cheeks. He was able to breathe on his own again. Instead of wailing in pain, he was cooing. A happy baby once more. After a week in the hospital, Luca finally cleared his last series of tests and we were able to take him home.<\/p>\n

The doctors never did find out what had made Luca so sick. We continued to monitor his health closely. Thankfully, there were no lasting effects, and nothing like it ever happened again. We hadn\u2019t discussed Luca\u2019s hospitalization since. Not with each other and not with Luca. It wasn\u2019t a secret. It just wasn\u2019t something we wanted to revisit. Now, five years later, Anthony and I stared at each other in disbelief as our son brought it up out of nowhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat else do you remember, bud?\u201d asked Anthony cautiously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in a bed,\u201d said Luca. \u201cBut I was in the sky too, looking down on you guys. And all these doctors and nurses were standing around me in the bed, and I was on fire. There was a silver tube in my throat.\u201d<\/p>\n

From when they intubated him<\/i>, I thought. There\u2019s no way he could remember all this, is there?<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened next?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody was so loud,\u201d said Luca. \u201cYou and Daddy were hugging by the window. A nurse was holding your hand, Mama. You were crying so much. And Mimi was crying too, outside my room, with Ella.\u201d Mimi was what the kids called my mother. \u201cThe nurses were wearing green suits,\u201d said Luca matter-of-factly.<\/p>\n

Then he went back to his chalk drawing as if nothing had happened, leaving Anthony and me stunned.<\/p>\n

Luca has mentioned his experience a few times since then, and it never ceases to amaze us. We can\u2019t explain what happened, let alone how he remembers it, but it has changed the way I feel about that day at the hospital. It\u2019s no longer a painful memory but an affirmation that there\u2019s something more beyond this life.<\/p>\n

Just ask Luca.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
