Forever Regressed, Daddy's Princess

The Hospital Part 1

I'm in Auroa's room still in tears holding my baby's hand when Alex walks in. He takes one look at my Princess and then looks at me and begins to cry. "It's all going to be alright" says Alex as he opens his arms for a hug. "I'm scared for my Princess, she was doing fine and was regressed on her own. She was tired and hungry so I was making her some food. I didn't think she needed any medication so I didn't give her any. This is my fault. I should have added some to her milk and given it to her. I'm such an idiot!" I tell Alex. Alex looks at me, places his hand on my shoulder and tells me that it's not my fault and that accidents happen when you have little ones. "We can't beat ourselves up over what happens, we just have to learn from the errors and move forward." He tells me. I understand what he says but it is all so much and it's not like this was a small injury. My Little is unconscious. I'm scared she's won't wake up or worse. Alex sees the wheels in my head spinning as I'm lost in thought. "Lets get you some coffee" he says. I'm hesitant to leave the room but he's right I need a good hot cup of coffee. As we walk down the hall, not far from the room I tell Alex about the visit and how both Aurora and myself felt. Letting him know how it killed me watching her knowing how scared she was and the pain she felt from her cries and how much I hated it all. We head back to the room as we enter I see the Dr. "Aurora is finally stable. We have given her some pain meds as she she was squirming a bit and now I would like to take her for a CT scan to make sure she has no internal bleeding to the brain. On a good note xrays show no damage to the skull however she does have a minor fracture to her right wrist and will need some treatment." I shake my head as I watch the nurses wheel her out. I'm pacing back and forth in the room for what feels like forever but was only 15 minutes. The results will be in shortly the Dr. tells me. One perk about being wealthy is being able to afford a private hospital designed for little and caregivers where they take their time with each patient and give then proper care. I never felt comfortable or safe in regular hospitals. I had a cousin once who went in for a minor procedure and a week later was rushed back to the hospital in pain. The Dr. and nurses gave him pain meds to shut him up but never thought to check on his procedure. Turns out the morphine pump that was placed in him was contaminated. It was not sterilized properly and ended killing me. To this day I still hate hospitals but as least I'm hopeful with our special hospital. The evening passes slowly I haven't slept once and can feel the sleepiness catching up. Coffee, more coffee I tell myself and grab another cup. The Dr. walks in with a folder. I am assuming it's Aurora's test results and I'm correct. I wake Alex who stayed with me. "I want you to know that we found no internal bleeding, that is a Good thing so let's be thankful. There is however some swelling which raises concerns. We will continue to monitor Aurora and when she wakes we will do some more testing."  I hate this! Swelling, Concern. My gut turns and I quickly rush to R. R. The coffee and my nerves have got the best of me. Alex tells me to rest but I can't. My Princess is hurt and I have to stay awake because when she wakes up she will need her daddy. Alex plops me into the sofa begins talking and slowly I find myself dozing off.
