Life is a precious thing and what you do with it is whats important. We always take what we have for granted not thinking of tomorrow. You think of what you could of said or done to change the outcome but knowing that there nothing you can do, the hopeless feeling you feel has to be the worst part. That was how I was feeling. We ran to the receptionist's desk frantic, well more like Darnell dragging me there the whole time. I couldn't speak I just felt numb as I watched everything go on around me.
They told us he was on the second floor room 207. When we got in the elevator Darnell just kept starring at me probably thinking I'll fall apart an any minute and I didn't have the energy to tell him to stop and that I was fine when I knew I wasn't. When we got to the floor and found the room the doctor was walking out with charts in his hand. He was tall and younger than I expect him to be maybe early 30's I guess I was expecting some old grey guy with glasses. He saw us and walked over.
"I'm guessing you are Mr.Thomas parents"
"yes" my Dad said still holding my mom at his side
"please tell us he's alright" my mom pleaded
" Well when your son arrived here he wasn't responding so we had to revive him. When we did get his heart going again it was extremely weak because of all the blood lost. We immediately took him into surgery and had to remove two bullets from his back and he was also shot in the neck but luckily that was just a flesh wound. We also had to give him a couple of blood transfusion.
" ok but in other words he alright we can go see him " my dad ask getting impatient
"if you mean alive yes, if you mean awake no"he said looking at us warily
"what you mean he not awake" my mom asked
" well because of the lost of blood he slipped into a coma and were not sure when he'll wake up" he said looking like he hated to have to tell us this and he probably did. No matter how many time you give bad news I doubt that it gets easier.
" what!!!" my mom yelled
"ma'am please keep your voice down" the doctor hushed looking around. Two nurses walked by looking at my mom weird. Darnell gave then a death glare making them hurry away.
" Now you listen to me" My mom said walking in the doctor's face making him take a step back looking at her wide eyed,when she wanted to she could be extremely scary" Your going to do anything and everything for my son cause if you don't you'll be the one taking his place" she hissed at him. The doctor looked like he had just sh*t his pants.
My dad moved her away from him" Baby stop" My dad said warningly. He looked at the doctor" What she meant was , we really appreciated if you could do everything you can for him"
"trust me I understand how you feel last year my son was shot and was in a coma for almost a year and when we almost gave up hope he woke up and has been doing great ever since so trust me when I say that if there'd anything else we can do it well be done" the Doctor said firmly before shaking my Dad's hand
"After the nurses get him set up and cleaned up and you can go right in" he said before walk away. We went and sat down. It actually was a nice hospital with the looking recliner chair that don't really recline they were nice and they probably where my parents will be sleeping for the next couple of days. The nurse told us we could go inside my mom just about knocked my dad and the nurses down how fast she went in. Darnell looked at me
'what are you doing come on"I shook my head
"what do you mean no"
"I cant-" i cleared my throat because of how raspy it sounded' I cant see him like that"
