Chapter 118

It’s been a week since Renee was in the accident. Jesse had shown up every day after he put Christian on the bus for school. He talked to her about how things were going with Christian. Christian was still upset that he couldn’t see his mom. Jesse felt bad about that. He told her about his FMLA and how he was going to be there for her every day until she woke up. Nurses would come in and check her vitals every so often and he’d try to stay out of the way.

The doctor came in and Jesse sat up. He came over and checked Renee’s chart. Once he was satisfied with what he was seeing, he turned to Jesse.

“Mr. Morgan, the swelling has stopped. I’m going to remove the shunt today. We are going to keep Mrs. Morgan sedated for now. If everything goes well with the removal, then we will start weaning her off of the sedation in a day or two.”

“What happens when you take her completely off the sedation?”

“Hopefully, she wakes up.”

“What if she doesn’t wake up?” Jesse whispered.
