48 hours of the accident Kevin finally opened his eyes .
Carol: Bro can you hear me ? He looked around recognizing that he was in the hospital . He felt his left hand and leg stiff but the other parts movable .
Kevin: Car..ol I can't move .
Carol: I know your on a lot of meds right now . Your left hand and foot are broken . We put the bones back in place . They have been casted .
Kevin swallowed
Kevin : Am I gonna be able to walk ? Carol slowly raised his bed .
Carol: Yes we've been doing therapy while you were asleep . But if you don't continue youll need a wheel chair .
Kevin blinked several times
Kevin; Great Candace is definitely gonna leave me now . She saw a tear leave his eye.
Carol: You must not know your wife because she was been here everyday since you got here . She has been fighting to see you . She couldn't leave you even if she wanted to . She's pregnant .
Kevin: what is she gonna do with a man that can't walk and work ?!
Carol: Hey! I know Candace is terrible but you almost gave her a stroke so I'll need you to get that out of your mind .
Kevin groaned . The more awake he was the more he felt like broken glass .
Carol: do you remember what happened .
Kevin: not really ... but there was a women and a child .
Carol: She paid all your hospital bills . She sent you this letter . Do you want to read it ?
Kevin: I don't know .. He slowly exhaled .
Carol: How about some water ?
Kevin: okay . He drank nearly the whole bottle .
Carol: I'll read it to you . You'll feel a bit better
Kevin waited for her to read
Carol: Dear Mr . Princeton thank you for saving our lives . My husband and I are the most grateful our toddler was just released from the hospital recovering from kidney failure . A donor was kind enough to help us and now what your help we are alive to see another day . We have paid all your fees without hesitation and have left a number with the best physical therapist in the country at her disposal . Please contact us for an update on your recovery . With compassion Desiree .
They were both emotional
Carol saw Candace paging her
Carol: Candy wants to see you .
Kevin: I can't look at her not like this. Not this way .
Carol: Kevin please she cannot hold up without knowing your alright . Even if it's for a minute .
Kevin thinking about how badly he looks and if she'll be able to handle it .
Carol: She needs to know your alright .
Kevin: okay but I don't want her staying the night
Carol: alright .
Candace came in and sat by his bed side
Candace : babe . I tried to come and see you but they wouldn't let me 🥺
Kevin: I'm alright .
She tried to touch him but he turned his head .
Kevin: I don't want you to see me like this .
Candace : I don't care about that . Frankie misses you . I miss you . She spoke through tears .
