Holding The Future

chapter 28

Ryan talking

I'm getting ready to go to work when i hear abby coughing in the other room. I walk in and see her coughing while holding a napkin over her mouth she removes it to answer me and i instantly notice that there is blood on it. I tell her that im calling into work she tries to stop me but collapses 8n the hallway and loses consciousness. I call 911 and try to get Abby to wake up but she doesn't. I make sure shes still breathing. Autumn comes in the room and sees her mother unconscious. Daddy? She says whats wrong with mommy Adriel says behind Autumn. I don't know bub I say the doctors are coming to take mommy to the hospital you, Cody, Quillian are gonna stay with Mrs Amber ok. Ok Autumn says trying not to cry.

The ambulance comes and takes abby to the hospital. I follow close behind them with my cruisers lights on. We get to the hospital and soon doctors and nurses surround her. I wait in the waiting room when I see Brother Caleb walk through the waiting room door. He goes up to the desk and asks for an update on abby but the nurse just tells him what she told me which was that the head Dr would be out to give us news soon.

He then comes and sits next to me and asks me how I'm holding up? Wanting to say I'm fine but knowing he will see right through that I tell him im still here. He pats me on the back and asks to pray with me. I tell him yes of course. Just then the doctor comes in and asks to speak with me. He tells me that Abby is in really really rough shape and might have to get new lungs...... But there is a surgery that could help but its really risky and they'd have to fly her to Washington so that the specialist can preform the surgery.

I ask how long we can hold off and the Dr says that we can hold off on the surgery only for a few hours. So i go talk the options over with bro Caleb and pastor Bruce. They tell me in the end its my decision and that the kids will be taken care of while I'm gone.
