In the final episode of Resilience: Medea Gabriel's Story, Medea finally escapes New Orleans. Katrina and its immediate aftereffects, could no longer touch her. But she finds out that recovery might be even harder than her escape. Before she's able to come back to New Orleans, she must deal with a new city, increased marital troubles, and a house that's completely destroyed.

Two days after Katrina hit New Orleans, Medea Gabriel was still at Memorial Medical Center. The babies she cared for had evacuated. Medea had just sent her mother off. And now, she needed to get to her, and escape the hospital and city herself. To do that, she had to navigate the dangerous, unknown world of post-Katrina New Orleans.

Note: This is Part Two of a four-part miniseries. On Tuesday morning, August 30, Medea Gabriel looked out the sixth floor window of Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans. She was a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit, the NICU. The hospital was surrounded by water, for as far as she could see. The babies in the NICU had to evacuated by helicopter, to a hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. And she had make sure that her babies would be prepared to survive the trip. And then, once they were gone, that her ailing mother could be transported to safety.

When Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, neonatal intensive care unit nurse Medea Gabriel’s role as a caregiver is put to the ultimate test as she tries to save her babies, her ailing mother, and herself.
