The Accident (2)
Tears is falling down Shane's face, he can not take this tension any more, the fear that Mits is badly hurt is tearing at his heart.
No, no, no, no. Shane's body is shuttering, he can not take this pressure on not knowing any more.
Shane has been passing up and down the waiting room, then he heard the door open and he turned and saw the doctor coming in.
"Shane?" The doctor asked.
"Yes that me." And Shane hurried to the doctor.
"I just wanted to inform you that Mits has gone into surgery, We will be able to give you a full update as soon as the surgery has been done."
Shane can feel his temperature dropping but managed to just say "Thank you." And gave the doctor a weak smile.
"What's taking this so long, it's been more than an hour?" Shane mutters to himself.
"Please be okay my angel, don't leave me.."
Shane took a seat and closed his eyes, praying.
Shane could not sit still and stood up and started pacing again.
It feels as if time is standing still. And the longer Shane waits the more concerned he get.
Just as Shane could not take the wait anymore door opens, and he glanced at the door his stomach in a knot.
Another doctor enters the room, and Shane rushes over to him.
All the blood disappears from Shane's face.
"I'm Doctor George. Mits is stable, but still in a critical condition."
Shane's knees starts buckle beneath him, and he had to sit down to support himself from not falling to the floor.
"Mits had suffered some sever internal injuries, but we were able to repair them."
"Unfortunately, Mits also suffered a cardiac arrest because of all the blood she had lost in the accident, We managed to get her heart going again, but that is a concern for us."
"All we can do know is wait and see, we will monitor her."
"Can please go and see her?" Shane managed to whisper.
Doctor George gave him a small but assuring smile and said, "Yes that will not be a problem but you will have to wait about 10 to 20 minutes, they are just moving her to her room.
"Thank you, Doctor."
It was 15 minutes then the door of the waiting room opend, and the nurse from the reception came in "Shane, Mits is in here room if you want to go and see her."
Shane look in the room, and saw Mits lying on the bed, she looks so small, she had tube in her mouth, drips in both her arms.
The monitor displays her heart rate: beep, beep, beep.
Shane moved slowly toward toward her.
"Oh my sweet Angel, come back to me, please don't leave me. I love you."
A nurse stands at Mits bed checking the monitors.
The nurse smiles kindly at Shane.
After the nurse left the room Shane burst out in tears while he placed him hand gently onto Mits arm.
"Oh, my love, please get better, please come back to me" he whisper.
The nurse came back into the room and said to Shane that is it time to go and that he can come back tomorrow.
"I don't want to go and I don't want to leave her."
With compassion in her face the nursed said, "I understand, but she needs to rest, and we have your cell number. If there's any change, we will call you."
Shane checked into the hotel close to the hospital.
He tried to get some rest, but he just lied there on the bed paralyzed.
Shane got the strength to stand up and into the bedroom filling the tub with water.
He got into the bath, but tears still running down his face.
Shane is normally brave and strong. But just the thought of loosing Mits had totally broke him, he can not imagine live without her.
Shane ordered some food and they delivered it to the room,
He barely touched his food he is just not hungry.
Shane went to bed, but was rolling around the whole night.
He got up early that morning and got ready to go to the hospital.
He arrived at the ICU, and greeted the nurse that said he can go in and see her.
Standing in front of Mits bed the doctor was checking Mits chart.
"How is she doing doctor?"
"She is in good hands, and we expect her to have a full recovery, all her vital signs are stable and strong."
"That is very good news," Shane murmur.
Shane looked at her and he started to have hope.
