Ernest Flores called 911 after finding his pregnant wife unconscious. His wife, who had pre-eclampsia, was turning purple.<\/p>\n
Dispatcher Linda Campbell answered the call and guided Flores through performing CPR.<\/p>\n
“I was getting him calm. I was trying to get him calm so we could do CPR because he had already told me she was purple and then that she was pregnant,” Campbell said.<\/p>\n
