When Dr. Moore arrived with Tori at the hospital after picking her up from school for the final time of the term, he parked the car. He then opened the right passenger door. He helped Tori get out he then grabbed her bag with her comforts in it. They then headed into the hospital.

Once in the hospital, Dr. Moore notice that Tori was quite anxious. He knew that she became quite unstable on her feet when she was anxious. He saw that there were wheelchairs available. They walked over to them Dr. Moore grabbed one. He helped Tori into a wheelchair. He put her bag of comforts on her lap. They then headed to the registration desk.

Once at the registration desk, the nurse asked him what he was doing. He told her that he was registering his daughter for her drop foot and clubfoot operations. The nurse asked Dr. Moore who Tori's doctor was. Dr. Moore told the nurse that Tori's doctor was Dr. Rivers. She gave Dr. Moore some paperwork to sign to confirm she was there for her operations.

Afterward, the nurse then told them that everything was good. She told them that they could head to the orthopedic ward to get settled. They thanked the nurse and headed to the orthopedic ward.

Once they arrived at the orthopedic ward, they went to the nurses' station. They let the nurses know that Tori had arrived for her operations. He gave the nurse the papers the registration nurse had given him to sign. The nurse then gave Tori a hospital bracelet to wear confirming she was there for her operations. One of the nurses then gave Dr. Moore a room number where Tori was staying for her duration of her hospital stay. One of the nurses then took them to Tori's room.

Once they got to Tori's room the room number was O99. Tori commented that when she was on the Neurosurgery ward her room was N99 last time. Dr. Moore wheeled her in the room with the nurse following behind.

Once in the room, Tori saw there was a bed, a cot and 2 chairs one of the chairs was beside the bed and the other was beside the cot. Dr. Moore wheeled her up to the bed and put her bag on the bed. He lifted her onto the bed. He then put the wheelchair out of the way.

Once Tori was on the bed. She sat there dangling her feet. The nurse took Tori's shoes off. The nurse then told her that she was going to bathe her. She told her that Dr. Rivers wanted Tori to be bathed when she arrived. She understood. She wondered if she would be diapered after her bath. The nurse removed Tori's leg and arm braces. Dr. Moore grabbed the wheelchair. It was at the bed. He lifted her back into the wheelchair. The nurse then wheeled Tori out the door for her bath.

While Tori was getting bathed, Dr. Moore went to the Veteran's ward. He wanted to inform Will and James that Tori was in hospital for her leg and feet operations. He went to Will's room.

Once at Will's room, he opened the door. He saw Will sitting in the comfy chair near the window. Will had his doll with him. Dr. Moore walked over to him.

Once he was at the chair, Will saw his dad. He smiled. He was pleased to see him. Dr. Moore told him that he had arrived with Tori for her important operations. Will asked his dad if he was allowed to see her. Dr. Moore told his son that Tori was getting bathed at the moment. He told him that he was there to take him up to her room. He was pleased to hear that. He wanted to go right then. He stood from his chair with his doll in his arms ready to leave with his dad.

When Dr. Moore returned to the orthopedic ward with Will, the nurses told him that Tori had not returned from her bath yet. He understood. They told him that he was allowed to return to Tori's room with Will.

Meanwhile in the bathroom, Tori was done her bath. The nurse was drying her off. Tori's cast was off like Dr. Rivers wanted. Tori was glad to have her cast off. She understood the feeling wouldn't last as she would have casts on both feet.
