Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ava thought for a while before going downstairs and retrieving Scarlett's doll from the couch. She handed it to her dad and looked up at him, hoping he'd be back soon. "How long you gonna leave me?" She asked, putting her thumb in her mouth. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 "I don't know, baby. I really don't. I'm sorry," Sean said and hugged Ava again before the doorbell rang. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ava frowned and hugged her father. She still had huge tears running down her face. She went to her grandma and sighed, keeping her thumb in her mouth. "Hi grandma." Lillian nodded and sighed the papers, and the watched her baby get whisked away from her. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 "Thanks for coming, mom. I'll call you as soon as I know anything," Sean said before kissing Ava goodbye, grabbing the bags, and running out the door. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ava frowned and started to full on sob as her father shut the door. She couldn't stand the idea of being away from him for a night, but now she had no idea when they'd be coming back. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 "Oh, baby, don't cry. Everything will be okay. How would you like to make some cookies with grandma?" Edith asked, hoping to distract her granddaughter. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ava nodded. "Can we put a movie on?" She asked, rubbing her teary eyes. "And can they be chocolate chip?" "They said they have no idea how she'll do. She could be fine or completely paralyzed." Lillian hugged her husband. "I feel bad for not taking her earlier. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 "Of course we can make chocolate chip. And you can pick any movie you want." "Babe, you didn't know. Neither did I. Between her hat and hood, there was so much padding I didn't think it could hurt that bad. And she's what, maybe three feet tall? It's not like she had that far to fall. I just don't understand how she possibly could have hit her head hard enough to cause this!" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ava nodded. She handed her grandmother the movie she was supposed to watch earlier, but let out a yelp when she stepped on a piece of glass from the broken Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 "Oh! I better clean that up!" Edith said after checking to make sure the glass hadn't gone through Ava's pajamas. She put the movie on and grabbed the broom, then went to the kitchen to get out the baking ingredients. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ava ran upstairs and grabbed her stuffed rabbit before returning to the couch, starting to calm down a little. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Edith decided the cookies could wait and went to sit with Ava until the movie was over. "You ready to do some baking now?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ava nodded and followed her grandma into the kitchen, setting her bunny on the table. "Can I add the chips?" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 "Of course. You can put everything in, if you want to," Edith said as she went to the pantry and found Ava and Scarlett's tiny aprons handing next to Lilian's. She frowned, wondering how her grandbaby was doing, as she grabbed Ava's. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ava took her apron and tied it around herself as best she could. She smiled a little and started to pour the ingredients in, being careful not to make a mess. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 "You're such a big helper! I bet these will be the best cookies ever!" Edith gushed as she put the cookies in the oven. "I guess we better start thinking about dinner. What would you like tonight? We can order anything you want and have it delivered," she offered, not wanting to go out and miss Sean if he called. After several seemingly endless hours the neurosurgeon entered the waiting room. "Mr. And Mrs. Byrne, Scarlett is out of surgery," he informed them. "She's in recovery now, and will be brought to her room shortly. The operation went well, we were able to stop the bleeding. We will keep her sedated for the next day or so to let her rest and start healing. We won't really know how extensive the damage is until she wakes up but she is breathing on her own right now, which is a good sign." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 "Can we get sushi?" Ava asked hopefully. Take out was usually a treat, especially foreign food, but she loved it. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 "I wouldn't say okay. She's alive, she's breathing, but she's not out of the woods yet," the surgeon cautioned. "She's probably going to have a long road to recovery ahead of her," he added before standing up. "Someone will come get you as soon as she's brought to her room. I'll stop by later to check on her." "Sure," Edith agreed as she dug through the drawer where they kept the take out menus. "What do you want?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Lillian nodded and frowned. "I hope she'll be alright." "Can I have a California roll and the little dumpling things?" Ava asked with a small smile. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 After the surgeon left Sean pulled Lillian into a hug. "It'll be okay. She's alive, that's all that matters right now. Everything else, we'll worry about when,the time comes. "Of course you can." Edith picked up the phone and placed the order for their dinner. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Lillian nodded. "One hour at a time I guess." Ava sat down on her step stool while her grandma ordered, knowing to keep quiet when people were on the phone. She let out a small sigh and rested her chin in her hands. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 "Okay, it will be here in about 45 minutes. What would you like to do up til then?" Edith asked after hanging up. A little later a nurse came to show the Byrnes to Scarlett's room. "Just to prepare you, it might be a little overwhelming seeing her," the nurse warned. "Her head is bandaged, and there are a lot of IVs and wires. As the doctor told you she will be sedated until tomorrow. You won't be able to hold her yet, but you can touch her and talk to her," she added as she stopped in front of a room in the surgical ICU. "I will be her nurse for the next 12 hours, and will be in frequently to check on her. Feel free to ask any questions you have." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 "Can we watch the movie grandma?" Ava asked, grabbing her bunny and putting her arms up. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (they already watched the movie) Edith picked Ava up. "You already watched a movie. How about we play until the food gets here and then you can watch a movie before bed?" she suggested. "She's not awake. The sedatives will keep her asleep until tomorrow. But yes, you can certainly hold her hand." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (Oh I thought it was just in the background so it wasn't over. My bad.) Ava nodded. "Can we play chutes and ladders?" Link to comment
