Umnikazi we-4aKid, u-Ally Cohen, usebhizinisini lezingane. Kodwa lokhu akuzange kumsize ngalutho ukuba alungiselele omunye wabasebenzi bakhe owayezoteta ngaphambi kwesikhathi engazali umntwana oyedwa kodwa ababili abayigugu emsebenzini.
"Kwakufana nefilimu," kusho uCohen, ongakaze emaphusheni akhe acabange ukuthi uzobona ukuzalwa kwamawele ekhaya lakhe eWendywood lapho eqhuba khona ibhizinisi lakhe lemikhiqizo yezokuphepha yengane nengane kanye nezinsiza.
UCynthia Nkosi, 31, akacabanganga kangako ngesikhathi ezwa izinhlungu ezimbalwa zesisu etekisini eya emsebenzini ngoLwesihlanu, zingama-25 kuSepthemba. Phela wayezithwele futhi ekubona kujwayelekile. Kamuva ngalolo suku ekuseni, lapho ubuhlungu bukhula kakhulu, wayazi ukuthi “kukhona okungahambi kahle”. Wayengazi ukuthi wayesesikwa futhi esezobeletha - emasontweni ambalwa ngaphambi kosuku lwakhe lokuzalwa.
Sasingekho isikhathi sokugeza izingane, ukuphumula kombhede, izinhlelo zokubeletha, noma ngisho nesikhathi sokupakisha isikhwama sasesibhedlela - ingasaphathwa eye-epidural noma eminye imithi yezinhlungu.
“Bengifuna ukuphuthumisa uCynthia esibhedlela, kodwa isisebenzi sasendlini, uGertrude Dlamini, oseke wabelethisa izingane eziningi, wathi, “Asikho isikhathi, izingane ziyeza!” Kusho uCohen, owavele wathatha isinyathelo.
UCohen, umama wezingane ezimbili okuhlanganisa nengane enezidingo ezikhethekile, akayena umuntu ongaziwa ezimweni eziphuthumayo zezokwelapha. Ushayele abezimo eziphuthumayo abambalwa ecela usizo oluphuthumayo.
“Ngishaye i-app ye-Namola [uhlelo lokusebenza oluvumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bathole usizo oluphuthumayo] ocingweni lwami ukuze bacele i-ambulensi,” kusho uCohen, owayazi ukuthi isikhathi sasibalulekile.
“Ngatshelwa ukuthi awekho ama-ambulensi asheshayo kanti i-ambulensi yangasese engenayo i-medical aid izobiza u-R10 000,” usho kanje.
“Bekumatasatasa. UCynthia wazizwa edinga ukuphusha. Ngenze usizo lokuqala oluyisisekelo, kodwa bengingekho esimweni sokubeletha umntwana, ingasaphathwa eyewele, abephule umthetho. Ngalesi sikhathi, benginokwesaba ukuthi sizolahlekelwa bobathathu ngaphandle kosizo lwezempilo,” kusho yena.
UGertrude, osesebenzele abakwaCohens iminyaka eminingana, uthe ukhathazekile ngokuthi izingane ezizalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi zizodinga umoya-mpilo futhi zidinga usizo oluphuthumayo.
“Sengibelethile izingane eziningi, kodwa angikaze ngibelethe amawele ahlukene. Ngangesaba. Ngatshela uCynthia ukuthi angaphushi, alinde i-ambulensi,” kusho uDlamini SA Jewish Report .
Ngokujabulisayo, kwafika udokotela wezimo eziphuthumayo ovela kwa-Emer-G-Med, owasiza umama ngosizo lukaGertrude onolwazi. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, uHatsola wafika futhi wathatha izintambo.
Umhlinzeki wezimo eziphuthumayo osezingeni eliphezulu, u-Uriel Rosen waseHatzolah, wayazi ukuthi ukulethwa kwakuseduze lapho kufika ucingo.
“Ngesikhathi sifika ekhaya umama wayesesikwa, enye yezingane isivele iphakathi. Zombili lezi zingane zaphulwa umthetho futhi zifika ngaphambi kwesikhathi, ngakho lokhu bekungekona neze ukubeletha okulula,” usho kanje.
“Ingane yokuqala yayisivele icindezelekile, ngakho kwadingeka sihambe ngokushesha.”
Akuphelanga mizuzu emingaki, kwabe sekubelethwa ingane yokuqala, intombazane. “Wayedinga umoya-mpilo, futhi wakhanya kahle ngemva kwemizuzu engu-15,” kusho uRosen.
Uthe ingane yomfana eyaphuma isibili, ngemuva kwemizuzu engaba ngu-45, yathatha isikhathi sayo kulandela ukuzalwa okuxakile.
La mawele abegoqwe ngezingubo zokulala ezinhle zezingane ezintsha zesitoko sikaCohen's 4aKid ngaphambi kokuya esibhedlela.
U-Hatzolah wahambisa u-Cynthia nengane yakhe yendodakazi e-Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital kwathi u-Rosen ephelezela ingane yomfana, ayifake ku-incubator ku-ambulensi yakwa-ER24.
“Ngesikhathi sifika esibhedlela, ingane yomfana ibizinzile futhi iqaphile, yaphinde yahlanganiswa nonina kanye newele likadadewabo,” usho kanje.
U-Rosen, okuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe kweminyaka eminingi nokuqeqeshwa kwakhe, uthe "bekuwucingo olunzima, olucindezelayo olunomphumela omuhle kakhulu".
“Sengizale izingane eziningi okuhlanganisa namawele esibhedlela. Bekungokokuqala ngqa ngibeletha amawele bobabili abaveze njengezingane eziphula umthetho ngaphandle kwesibhedlela. Bekuyinto entsha, futhi izongena ezincwadini,” kusho yena.
Kusho uCynthia Umbiko wamaJuda we-SA yena kanye nezingane babephila kahle.
"Ngijabule kakhulu. Ngangesaba kakhulu, kodwa ngibonga kakhulu ku-Ally noGertie nabo bonke abezimo eziphuthumayo abangisizile. Ngaba nenhlanhla enkulu,” kusho yena.
Waqamba indodakazi yakhe uFortunate nendodana yakhe uFortune. Isisindo sabo sibe ngu-1.7kg no-1.8kg ngokulandelana. Ukholelwa ukuthi babengaphezudlwana kwamaviki angama-34.
“Kwakuwusuku olujabulisa kakhulu ehhovisi,” kusho uCohen.
"Sibonga kakhulu ku-Hatzolah kanye nabasebenzi bezimo eziphuthumayo abasize uCynthia ukuthi abelethe izingane zakhe ezinhle ngokuphepha, isibusiso esiphindwe kabili."
