Chapter 80: No One Knows
Abby, Nate, and I are all in the waiting area... The girls are sitting on my lap. Ryan is in Abby's arms.. and Charley and Aidan are in there carriers... Abby is rocking one of them with her foot... Nate rocking the other....
"Daddy..?" Emily says, in a quiet voice.
"Yeah Em?"
She sniffles, and wipes her eyes before looking at me. "is.. tata gonna die?" Sophie looks up at me.. and I look over at Abby and Nate... I don't know what to tell her.. the doctors haven't told us anything.. "Uh..I don't know sweetie.."
"What is wrong with him?"
"I don't know that one either..."
"Why aren't you taking care of him?"
"Because.. I'm not a doctor at this hospital.... and I have to let the doctors that do work here, do there job."
"You could fix him better." Before I can answer, a young doctor walks into the room, and the girls slide off my lap, as I walk over to him, followed by Abby and Nate. She takes my hand.. and I feel Emily and Sophie pushing us apart.. standing between us. "Girls.. we need to talk to the doctor.. could you go sit down with your brothers?"
"We wanna hear..."
"Yeah.. we wanna know about tata.."
"I'll tell you ok... but right now I need you to go sit down... can you do that for me?"
"....yeah..." They go back to there seats... and I look back to the doctor.. "Do you think.. we could talk about this outside?" I ask him.
"yeah.. sure.." we step outside.. and Abby wraps her arms around my waist, crying into my chest.. I kiss the top of her head... and just hold her, waiting for th doctor to say something..
"Your father... has suffered from a ruptured brain aneurysm.... now a aneurysm is.."
"We know what it is." I say, as I swallow a lump in my throat..
"Ok.. well, the rupture caused vasospasm.."
"wait.. wha-what is that?" Nate asked.
"narrowing of the affected blood vessel. Vasospasm decreases blood flow to the brain and causes the death of nerve cells.. with treatment, it can cause a stroke.. or even death....we don't know if he had a stroke.. but we will when he's out of surgery.. and wakes up.." If he wakes up.. thats what they are thinking.. they just don't say it, I know these things.. I'm a doctor.. its hard telling a family things like this.. you don't want to tell them that your loved one may never wake up.. so thats all you say.. when they wake up...
"A nurse will be here in a little while, to bring you up to the surgical waiting area... if you have any questions..."
"Thank you.." is all I say.. He walks away, and Abby moves her arms around my neck.. I hold her close, leaning my head on hers, as deep sobs rack my body.. After a few minutes. I embrace my brother... We all collect ourselves as much as we can, and walk back into the waiting are. The girls are squished into the same chair, and look up at us. I let go of Abby's hand, and she immediately turns to my brother.
I walk over to them, and squat down, so I'm at there level. Ryan sits up, and looks at me sleepily. "Tata?" He asks. "Is he ok daddy?"
"Hes pretty sick... He had something called an aneurysm... it was in his brain."
"Are they gonna get it out?"
"It ruptured..."
"I don't understand.."
"It broke.. and.. it started bleeding..."
"In.. his brain?"
"Yeah..."
"Is he dead?"
"No... the doctors took him up to the OR where they are going to... do surgery.. and stop the bleeding... and clamp the blood vessels.... but he...is going to be.. sick for a long time.. it will take a lot for him to get better..."
"He will though.. right? he'll be better?" I can't answer her.. I can't say yes... and I can't say no.. I don't know.. we won't know anything until... if and when he wakes up... "Daddy... he will be ok? say he will be ok."
"Girls... I'm not going to lie... I don't know.. no one knows."

My comp has been down.. but its all fixed.. soooo heres an update.
Chapter 81: Out Of Surgery
The girls just look at me... "I called..." Emily starts to say through her tears.. "I called 911.... but it wasn't the same 911... I don't know what it was... I tried to wake him up...."
"I know.. I know.. shhhh.." She jumps into my arms.. and Sophie turns to Abby.. grabbing onto her leg.. burying her face.. Abby picks her up, and she wraps her legs around her waist.. and her arms around Abby's neck. I pick Emily up.. and she does the same to me. I look at Abby, and she shakes her head.. and then rests her cheek on the top of Sophie's head, as she rubs her back. The nurse walks in, and my brother picks up Ryan.... but that leaves the boys... I'm about to put Emily down.. when Nate sets Ryan down, and then moves Aidan into Charley's carrier... he picks Ryan back up, and then the one carrier, leaving the other behind. And at this point I don't even care if someone takes it.... All I care about is my father... and my family.
Up in the waiting room, it feels like we are there for an eternity, before a doctor walks in. I stand up, leaving a sleeping Emily in the chair.... "Everything went well.. We were able to clamp the artery... and-"
"What about the vasospasm?"
"We are treating it... we won't know much.. until he wakes up.. They are bringing him to the recovery... where he will be monitored very closely... You can come see him... we usually let one at a time... and we really don't like the children in there.."
"Hes there grandfather.. they are going to want to see him."
"Children tend to touch things.. play with monitors..."
"My kids won't... I'll watch them..."
"Don't you think it would be better if they didn't see him like that?"
"They already saw him passed out in the kitchen, as it went up in flames.."
"Ok.. if you think they should see him.. thats fine... " I hear the boys start crying and then see Nate rushing out of the room. I turn around to Abby who is stroking there heads. "Where is he going?"
"To get the other carrier.. they just bumped their heads together.." She picks up Charley.. and then looks up at me.. "Luka, will you get him?"
"Yeah." I look back at the doctor.. "Excuse me."
"Yeah.. recovery ICU is down the hall on the left."
"Thank you."
