Questions 26 -31 are based on the following passage

(This passage is about a child who suffered from breathing problem and how he was
saved.)

1 The 2011 holiday season was rough for Rece Mostek. The 19-month-old
baby from Omaha, Nebraska, had spent much of November and December in
and out of doctors' offices. Rece had been suffering from coughs, colds and
fevers. His condition had worsened so much that he was hospitalised with
pneumonia for four days in February 2012. Even when he was released from 5
the hospital, doctors warned his parents that he was not fully recovered yet.
There was a chance that he might fall sick again. An hour after he arrived home,
Rece began to cough non-stop and turn blue.

2 Jamie believed that his son was choking on a piece of Play-Doh that he
was playing earlier. He then, called the hospital. While waiting for the 10
ambulance to arrive, he began to perform CPR. His quick action did not produce
much positive effect. In fact, Reces condition began to get worse. When the
ambulance arrived a few minutes later, the officers gave Rece oxygen and
quickly rushed him to hospital. He arrived there in a critical condition. He was
weak and did not have energy to move and he was still blue. 15

3 The doctor hurriedly gave treatment to Rece. She put a tube through the
trachea to allow him to breathe better. Even though she had done that, Rece
was still having difficulty breathing. Since the procedure made little difference,
the emergency department doctor knew that there was a blockage that was
preventing air from entering his lungs. However, she noticed that his oxygen 20
levels rose whenever she placed him on his right side. This indicated that the
blockage probably was not in his throat. The doctors looked at the X-ray result
and the chest X-rays revealed the problem was in Rece's lungs. His right lung
was red, sore and hot from pneumonia and began to become worse every
minute. From the X-ray too, she did not find any foreign object on the right lung 25
and she suspected that the left lung might be blocked.

4 The doctors had to move quickly. Rece was facing a great risk whereby
10
SULIT 1119/2

his brain would be damaged due to lack of oxygen. The risk of brain damage
increased each time his oxygen levels began to fall. Since they could not do
anything much, the doctors decided to send Rece to another childrens hospital. 30
A transport team rushed Rece to the paediatric intensive care unit at a childrens
hospital about 20 minutes away. There, a group of specialists would try to
perform surgery to remove the blockage. Once they arrived there, Rece was
placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a bypass pump that
provides oxygen when a patient's lungs can no longer function. For the next 45 35
minutes, paediatric pulmonologist Dr Paul Sammut and a team of surgeons tried
to hold and remove the object with a variety of medical tools. Dr. Sammut finally
succeeded doing that with a tool used by urologists to remove kidney stones.

5 Meanwhile, the Mosteks spent a frantic hour trying to understand the

terrible nature of Rece's situation. Then Dr. Sammut entered the waiting room 40
and gave the worried parents a thumbs-up. With him was a plastic bag and
inside it was the unbelievable item that had nearly taken Rece's life: a popcorn
kernel that had been stuck in his left lung.

6 Rece's condition was the result of a perfect storm. A few months earlier,
his parents gave him popcorn. Unfortunately, he had inhaled a kernel of 45
popcorn, which later was stuck in his right lung. This led to infections and
breathing problems, including pneumonia. But his excessive coughing earlier
that day had pushed the kernel from the right lung and propelled it into his left
lung, where it unluckily blocked his breathing airway.

7 Today, Rece's breathing is strong, and there is no sign of brain damage 50

from oxygen deficiency. A tiny scar on the side of his neck where the breathing
tube was inserted is the only trace of his ordeal. The Mosteks are much more
wary of giving him popcorn now. "Whenever I see people feeding their young
kids popcorn and not paying attention, I want to warn them to be careful!" says
Rece's mother, Brenda. 55

What Has Happened To Lulu ?

What has happened to Lulu, mother ?

What has happened to Lu ?
Theres nothing in her bed but an old rag-doll
And by its side a shoe.

Why is her window wide, mother,

The curtain flapping free,
And only a circle on the dusty shelf,
Where her money-box used to be ?

Why do you turn your head, mother,

And why do the tear-drops fall ?
And why do you crumple that note on the fire
And say it is nothing at all ?

I woke to voices late at night,

I heard an engine roar.
Why do you tell me the things I heard
Were a dream and nothing more ?

I heard somebody cry, mother,

In anger and in pain,
But now I ask you why, mother,
You say it was a gust of rain.

Why do you wander about as though

You dont know what to do ?
What has happened to Lulu, mother ?
What has happened to Lu ?
