Landon's POV

2 days later...

"Landon" my mom walked into hospital room.

I looked over.

"How you feeling?"

"Tired" I smiled weakly.

"I know... 2 scans and 1 test in one day. You're doing good though" she sat next to me.

"Did I hhhhave one?"

"Yeah," she began massaging the top of my head. "But it's the last one... and since it was during that test they might be able to see what's going on in your head"

"I hhhope so"

"You thirsty?"

"Mhmm"

She got up and got me something to drink.

"Arely is supposed to be coming by. She wanted to check on you"

I nodded my head.

"So what's gonna hhhappen nnow?" I asked.

"Well, if they haven't found the answer on the first test results then this one we should know within the next couple of days."

We stop when we hear a knock on the door. Arely waves and walks in.

My mom returns the wave and almost immediately after the doctor walks in.

"Good afternoon" he smiles at us all.

"What's up" I said.

"Good news, we've found something that could help us give you the proper treatment you need... the bad news is it's going to require immediate brain surgery."

"No" I said.

"Landon." My mom looked at me.

"In your MRI's we've spotted scar tissue on your right temporal lobe," he pointed to the area he was referring to on his head. "From what I've learned, you box and you took a hard right that was able to damage this section of your brain."

Then he brings up my brain waves and this video of me sitting in the hospital bed.

"These waves indicate that your seizure started in your right temporal lobe..."

Instead of listening I started focusing on the video. I've never seen what I look like when I have a seizure, honestly I've never seen anyone have a seizure... so I guess this is what I was about to see.

I was just casually sitting on the bed watching TV. I looked like I was talking to my mom and then she came over to my and tapped me.

I didn't do anything.

Suddenly my head turns and then I started shaking. It looked painful and I didn't want to watch it anymore.

"... Landon" my mom called.

I jumped a little and then noticed I was crying.

"Huh?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah..."

"I'll give you guys some time to think" the doctor walked out.

"Think about what?" He didn't answer he just left out.

I looked at Arely and then my mom.

"Is that what I look like when I have a seizure?" I asked my mom while pointing at the screen.

She nodded her head.

"You're doing this surgery" she told me.

I shook my head.
