Tell Me I Was Dreaming

The boys was as usual being chased by Rosco and usually the boys wouldn't have trouble losing him but it was raining like crazy

" Luke ... I don't think we is gonna lose him this time cuz ", but Bo's words fell on deaf ears on account of Luke was snoozing away

sadly the boys was about to go out of the frying pan into the fire on account their was a sign that said " Road Closed" up ahead.

But it was raining so hard that Bo didn't see the sign and the road then all of sudden the General started going out of control

Bo tried to stop but he was having trouble and the boys crashed the General's front was damaged , the windshild was cracked

the boys was inside still as stones sadly Luke had smacked his head against the windshild , was bleeding like crazy and bruised

Bo was trying to come around but he was having trouble but finally the pain in his head subsided and he was able to wake up some.

But he could only stay awake long enough to call an ambulance for Luke and then he hung up the CB and then he waited for help

meanwhile Enos thought he would try to go down and see if the boys was okay he was hoping that the boys wasn't dead

He thought he would check Bo first and to his surprize Bo was awake and then Enos asked Bo if Luke was okay he prayed Luke was alive.

Bo said " He's hurt pretty bad ... Enos but hopefully he'll hang on until the ambulance gets here ".

The Rain was still pouring nonstop Enos and Bo was getting soaking wet as they waitied for the ambulance but sadly Luke was stiill out cold.

Every now and then Luke would make a moan but he wouldn't stir then Bo could hear the ambulance in the distance he felt so happy help was here Bo directed them over to where Luke was and they had a little trouble getting Luke out of the car but once they got him out he wabreathing

and so they put him on the backboard before they carefully put him on the gurney then they started checking out Luke's vitals , one of them noticedthat his breathing was a little shallow so they hooked him up to an oxygen mask then loaded Luke into the ambulance started an IV.

Then they made their way to the hosptial then all of a sudden Luke's heart stopped and one of the medics ripped open Luke's shirt

it took him about 3 times before he got Luke back once he felt Luke was stable he put the stuff back and radioed the hospital .

" Comatose , blood loss , unresponsive , possible concussion , and breathing shallow , possible broken ribs.

Once they arrived at the hospital they rushed Luke into the ER and they tried to get him breathing stabalized but they realized that his condition

was too much for them to handle here so Doc. Applebee made arragments for Luke to be careflighted to Atlanta Memorial tonight.

Bo was sitting in the waiting room for what seemed like forever when he saw Daisy , Jesse enter the room and he was so happy to see them.

' How's Luke is .he ... is he ... he ain't dead ?". Daisy said.

Bo said " I don't know Daisy I'm still waiting to hear the news their still working on him I got me a feeling though that it ain't gonna be good news.

Then Jesse said " Well I guess all we can do is sit and wait I hope that Luke will make it through this ordeal in one piece ".

The Dukes was waiting for what seemed like forever when Jesse looked up and saw Doc. Applebee enter the room he didn't look happy

he asked the Dukes if they would follow him into his office so that he could talk to them in private and he hoped they took it well.

" We got Luke stablized and he is breathing good but it is still shallow ", they lost him a few times in the ambulance on the way here but they

were able to get his heart beating again but unfortunetly we can't treat Luke here I've made arragments to have him careflighted to Atlanta

remains in a deep comatose state and I don't know if he is gonna wake up ', I do wish I had better news for you but unfortunetly I don't.

So Later on that night an airplane arrived and Luke was loaded on it then they took off to the hosptial with the Dukes following on the road

they didn't arrive at the hospital until 11:30 pm and they rushed Luke back into the ER and they checked him out , all his vitals and then one

of the nurses got out the tool she used to check eye reaction she lifted up Luke's left eyelid but all she saw was white so she wrote down

on Luke's chart that he was comatose , nonresponsive , and once she was done she handed Luke's chart to the doctor on duty.

Dr. Winters was the one that got Luke's case and once she was done reading she went made her way to the waiting room to tell the Dukes

while she was gonna tell the Dukes the news about Luke ", Luke was being hooked up to an Oxygen mask , IV, and etc.

Bo was the first to notice Luke's doctor coming towards them and she said " I'm looking for the family of Luke Duke ".

Bo stood up and walked over to her and she said " are you the next of kin ?".

Bo said " no that would be my uncle Jesse I'm Luke's cousin Bo I need to know how he is so I can call my uncle and cousin".

So the doctor replied " well I wish I had better news for you but your cousin Luke is in a deep coma and I ain't sure if he's gonna wake up.

Bo said " well what would you say his chances are of making it through the night ?".

The doctor said " Well if he doesn't suffer any complications during the night I would say about 30%but the next few hours are gonna be crictial.

Bo asked the doctor if he could see Luke but she told him that he was still in the ER once he was moved to the ICU then he could see him

once Bo was done talking to the doctor he made his way over to the front desk asked the nurse their were a payphone was so he could call

she pointed down the hall then he went down their and made a call on over to the farm and he was trying to be brave but was having trouble.

Bo told Uncle Jesse that the doctor pretty much said that Luke was in a coma and she doesn't think he is gonna wake up from it ".

Jesse told Bo to keep good thoughts hope that Luke makes it and that he and Daisy would be their sometime tomorrow ".

Later on that night at the hospital Luke was moved out of the ER into the ICU unfortunetly his condition remained the same

as Bo was sitting in the waiting room waiting to see Luke he kept hoping that Luke would be okay and make it through the night.

finally a nurse came out to the waiting room to tell him that he can see Luke but not for too long on account of hospital rules.

So the nurse led Bo down a long hallway until they came to room 166 and Bo slowly opened the door and he couldn't believe his eyes

seeing Luke laying their looking so helpless , with only a speck of brown hair sneaking out of a bandage on his forehead made his heart break.

but he picked up Luke's hand and he said " Luke .. please wake up you... can't leave me .. I want you to promise me you won't die on me.

But Bo got no response and he just kept holding Luke's hand and rubbing it hoping to get a response but he didn't get one.
