Another Grey, Another Fox

Chapter 10

Caitlan's POV:
I'm in a wheelchair! And my arm and leg are in casts. Mommy and Jackson take care of me though. Jackson always looks sad, he feels like it's his fault that I nearly drowned. But I always manage to cheer him up.

Mommy doesn't want me to go back to school for a while. Her and grandpa went in and told the school off for not watching me at the time I almost drowned. Miss Dent was sick on the day of our beach trip. And the teachers that were on the trip have been fired. Grandpa said that they either get fired or him and mommy will sue the school.

Anyway, since I'm not at school, I go to work with mommy and Jackson brings me work home everyday, and I do the work either as soon as I get it or at the hospital. Mommy's boss is okay with me being there because I'm no trouble, and if the patient isn't too ill, I'm allowed to go in and cheer them up. I'm glad that my broken arm isn't the one I write with so I can still do my work.

Mommy is removing a bladder and reconstructing a new one today. I'm allowed in the gallery to watch. I'm really excited.

Catherine's POV:

I've been enjoying bringing Caitlan to work. She usually does her work as soon as Jackson brings it home on a night - within one to two hours, she's completed it. If she's too tired on the night though, she brings it to work to complete. She's been sitting in the Attending's lounge doing her work. My colleagues are amazed by what she knows at such a young age. Her and Jackson got their momma's brains.

I wheeled Caitlan into the patient's room, followed by the residents. "Okay, can someone read the chart please?" I asked the residents. "Jenna Barker, 46, here for Bladder removal surgery", Theresa said. "And what is the procedure?" "Ooo can I say what it is?" Caitlan asked enthusiastically. "Go ahead Caitlan, sweetheart." I smiled. "So they'll remove your Yoo-terus, ovaries and part of your vajayjay. When they've removed your bladder, mommy and her residents will create a yoo-rinary diversion, which will give a new way to store the yoo-rine and have it leave your body. I think there are different ways for yoo-rine to be stored and elimininated after the bladder is removed." The residents were speechless. "That's my girl." I smiled and Jenna was surprised. "Wow! Do you know the procedure for my new bladder?" She asked. "You bet I do! Neobladder reconstruction! So when mommy has made a new way for the yoo-rine to exit your body, mommy and her surgeons will use a piece of your intestine to create a new bladder that allows you to yoo-rinate voluntarily and maintain continence." Caitlan smiled. "I sit with mommy when she does her research." She shrugged. "You'll get a Harper Avery Award one day." Theresa said to Caitlan. "Nah, if I win it'll seem like favouritism. And it'd look bad on Grandpa. But I do wanna be a yoo-ologist one day like mommy." Jenna then asked, "is your mommy the best?" "Yup. I think Grandpa Harper inspires Jackson, but mommy inspires me! She's the best Yoo-ologist I know! You're definitely in the best hands in the OR!" Caitlan looked up at me and smiled. I put my hand to her face and kissed her forehead. "Is Caitlan okay to keep me company until I have to go for my surgery?" Jenna asked. "Of course!" I smiled and me and the residents left the room.

Everyone loves Caitlan coming to work with me. If I could I'd bring her all the time, but she's back at school in a few weeks.

One of my residents wheeled Caitlan up to the gallery whilst I scrubbed in and got prepared for the surgery. This is the first time she's watching me do a surgery and I know she's really excited.

Before I started operating, I looked up and Caitlan had a huge smile on her face and she blew me a kiss. I blew one back, winked and waved at her. She had her casted hand up against the window. You've got this Catherine. Let's get to work.

The surgery went amazing! I looked up at the gallery and Caitlan had a huge smile on her face, and gave me a thumbs up and clapped.

After I cleaned myself up, I went up to the gallery. "How'd I do baby girl?" I asked sitting down. "Amazing as always mommy. Do you think I could be an amazing yoo-ologist like you?" Caitlan asked. "I know you can sweetheart." I kissed her head. "You me and Jackson are the Foxateers, us against the world." Caitlan smiled and I chuckled. "Does that make me Momma Fox then?" I asked her. "Obviously!" She had the biggest smile on her face. The Foxateers! Has a good ring to it!

Okay guys here's this chapter! PS, I didn't know the procedure so obviously I looked on Google haha! Hope you like it though!
