A mother of two was stabbed in the heart in front of her parents after trying to break up a fight between two strangers outside of her of home.
Jameela Muhammed’s father Abdullah said he was sleeping on the couch when he heard two people fighting outside. He and Jameela went to see what was going on. When Jameela intervened, one of the women stabbed her in the heart. One of the women, Ashley Johnson, is now in police custody.
“She pulled it out, and when she pulled it out, it broke. The handle from the blade was still in her, and she pulled that out too,” he said.
Abdullah was rightfully horrified and Jameela was rushed to Grant Medical Center, the largest trauma center in Ohio. Her mother, Chadeejah, is upset that Jameela is suffering the consequences of a fight she took no part in.
“She is a kind giving person, not a trouble maker, a real good mother. We are just praying for her to come through and be okay,” she said.
“We lost her for a few minutes, yes, but we were able to bring her back,” said Jennifer Hartwell, her surgeon. While it seems unheard of, it is possible, recently an Ohio man named Tony Yahle died for 45 minutes and was brought back to life.
“Instead of traditional CPR in trauma surgery we are very aggressive about making an incision, opening the chest and taking the heart in our hands and literally just pumping the heart with our hands, and that is the best way to get her back,” said Hartwell.
That’s right. Doctors removed Jameela’s heart and began to pump it with their own hands. They then put the revived heart back in her chest.
“Any person with that type of wound usually dies, but she is young, she is fighting, strong willed and we are praying for her,” said Abdullah. “I will always be grateful to the workers here, nurses and the doctors, surgeons at Grant.”
