*Courtney's Pov*
I was on the side of my baby girls bed as she struggled to breath. She was good enough to get out of the ICU, well.. we thought she was. She was in bad condition, but none of us knew she had a broken rib until they tried moving her off of the cot in her own room. After they picked her up off the cot her machine went crazy, It was all happening so fast. They asked me to leave the room because they needed some tests done, I did what they asked.
I walked into the room where Ericka was, I was in tears. She had one look at me and she started to break down,
"Courtney?! What happened? Why aren't you with Alice?!" She was freaking out.
I put my hands on her shoulder "I don't know what happened. They had her moved in her own room but her machine went insane and they asked me to leave." I explained in a shaky voice.
It's been a couple hours since they took her in. Erica and I went to the desk three times. They said the same thing, she is in surgery. They didn't know anything else. We waited in the waiting room after that. I stood up and turned to Erica, "Sweetheart do you want anything while I'm out getting some things?" I questioned her.
"Umm a soda and a bag of spicy cheetos please." She quietly answered.
She hasn't said a word until now, she must be in shock. Before I walked put of the room I seen her to start to cry. After I walked into the room where the snacks were, I sat down and kept saying "she's okay, she's okay" in my mind. When I went back to the desk to see if they found anything out they all looked at me, looking relieved.
"Hi, I am your daughter's doctor. The beating she took was really bad. We took a CT scan and an MRI and she had a broken rib that seemed to puncture her right lung. She is in recovery, but we will be moving her back in the ICU until she wakes up." He explained calmly.
I thanked the doctor then went back into the room to call Bradley's mom to tell her so she can tell him. I explained the whole situation to Bradley's mother and Erica at the same time. They both started crying. Soon after that I got a call from Bradley. We talked about how Alice was and he said something I wasn't expecting... Bradley LOVES my daughter
*Erica's Pov*
I didn't understand why this was happening. Alice didn't do anything to deserve this. Brea was a bitch for leaving her when things got bad. I wonder how Bradley is taking this. I pulled out my phone and called him. We talked about anything new on Alice's condition. I know he loves Alice, I was the first to know. I find it cute that he likes her, but I don't want him to get to attached to her right yet. Her condition was bad enough where she had to get put back in the ICU.
Courtney came in with the drinks and snacks. We ate and had our drinks. The doctor came in 15 minutes later. She had a smile on her face, so I'm guessing it's good news.
"Mrs. Langer?" she yelled.
We, Courtney and I, walked over to the nurse. I was so nervous, I could tell Courtney was too.
"Okay so good news, your daughter will be taken off the breathing machine tomorrow morning. Her broken rib is not as bad as we thought. She will be in the ICU until she wakes up though. Everything else looks good. Just a slight skull fracture but it will heal on it's own. The rest is just major bruising on the body." She explained.
We were so happy that she was going to get through this. I have never been so proud of her, she is strong. She is proving that she is not going to give up on her life.
