This is my first fanfiction please comment. This has no association with abc castle or their writers pure fiction.
The smell of the sterile room, the beeping of the monitors, is what Rick had woken up to. His confusion and the memory of what happened in the loft, started to set off the monitors that were placed when he entered the ICU.
"Dad, you need to calm down, everything is ok." Alexis stated. "You are in the ICU, and you just got out of surgery, so you need to calm down." As she looks at her dad.
Worry still etched on his face, "Kate, where is Kate? I remember Caleb coming into the kitchen and shooting me but I don't remember anything else until I felt Kate hold my hand. How did we get help everyone thought this was over?" As he looked over at Alexis.
Alexis moved out of the way, "Kate, is right there dad." As she points to Kate's sleeping body with more wires than he had. She still had a breathing tube, and the IV hanging above her. Rich also seen the monitors showing the beating of her heart which gave him reassurance that she was still there.
"Is she ok?" Rick asked Alexis
"She is ok now, she had more complicated issues during surgery, but I will have the doctors come in and give you more information about your injury and Kate's progress. Jim has been here he just left. He will be back to talk to the doctors.
About an hour later, Rick opened his eyes to see that the room has been filled with more people, he sees Alexis and Jim sitting at the table playing cards. And he sees 2 doctors and 1 nurse tending to Kate.
Ricks heart monitor started to go off when he started to stress about Kate. That is when Alexis and Jim came over to his side.
"Calm down Rick, Katie is ok, they are just checking her vitals and then they are going to talk to us about recovery for both of you" Jim Stated.
"Good afternoon Rick, my name is DR. Rosemond, and I am the surgeon that worked on your wife here."
"Thank you for taking care of her. Rick stated, can you tell me about her condition, I know I have my own issues but I need to go over her care first." Also I give you permission to speak about Kate or my care to either my daughter Alexis; as he pointed to her from his bed. Also Jim her father and our friend Lanie she is a medical examiner." Rick explained.
"Well thank you I will be documenting this on both of your files for future reference. Now I don't know if you knew but she was shot twice one in the upper chest cavity and the one in her abdomen." Dr. Rosemond explained. That being said right now she is sedated and is on a breathing tube to let her heal as much as possible, we will be keeping her on an Iv to keep up her electrolytes and pain medication, as of right now we will slowly reduce the sedation medication so in time she will wake up herself. But right now it is best for her to rest her body without stressing it out. Now there are many different complications that Kate might have during her stay here, and we are watching all her vitals and her incisions for any infection. We are also listening to her lungs to make sure she does not have Pneumonia or any distress from her previous shooing.
