The next morning at the hospital Bo and LUke was still about the same both are still unconicous , unresponsive.
sometime later that morning the boys was moved out of the ER and into seperate parts of the hospital.
Luke is now on the ICU floor in room 109 sadly Luke had to be hooked up to a ventilator pump.
And he was also hooked up to an heart monitor , some IV's was running down both his arm's , a blanket
not to mention he also had a big white bandage on his forehead from hitting his head on the windshield.
Unfortunately Luke's doctor had very little hope that Luke would wake up from this deep sleep.
Meanwhile back in the ER Bo who wasn't as bad off as Luke was trying to wake up but he couldn't.
every now and then his eyelids would flutter but they wouldn't open and he to was suffering from hypothermia.
anyway Bo's doctor ordered the nurses to move Bo to his own private room on the 3rd floor.
Meanwhile back in Hazzard everything was still covered in a blanket of snow the roads still had ice on them.
"some places were even without power , make matters worse Jesse , Daisy was on the road at the moment".
"Jesse wasn't used to driving on icy roads so he was having a little trouble with the tires luckily they made it".
Unfortnately Jesse wasn't in the mood to do some Christmas tree shopping he was really afraid for the boys.
What with their beds being empty since last night and with the General Lee missing too he was really worried.
" Unfortunately O'l Jesse was right the boys was in some hot water only they may not get out this time".
" Hey Uncle Jesse what you think of this one ain't it pretty it'll look just great in the living room". Daisy said happily
" I don't about that one baby it looks awfully big how about uh smaller one ". Jesse said curiously
" I really like this one Uncle Jesse it looks really bushy and the angel will look really pretty on top.
" Well okay honey if that's the one you want c'mon let's go get someone to chop it down ".
"It didn't take long for Jesse to find someone to chop down the tree ".
so while Jesse and Daisy was busy with the tree back over at the hospital things wasn't so good.
"Luke was showing brain activity he just wasn't waking up and Bo was still hanging in their he wasn't the same".
Then all of a sudden Luke's heart monitor started going crazy so Luke's room button at the nurses station went off
and so all the nurses and his doctor came rushing into his room and it took them about 5 times fore' Luke was back.
"Finally once Luke was stable again and resting peacefully she decided to see if Luke was awake".
So he got out his penlight and he lifted up Luke's left eyelid hoping to get a response but sadly their wasn't none".
"So Dr. Doherty told her nurse to write down that Luke Duke was still comatose , unresponsive."
"Bo and Luke both remained in Comatose states throughout the rest of the afternoon only time will tell".
"So as Bo and Luke was having a Blue Christmas the kids at the orphange were wondering about the presents".
One little kid in particular was awfully curious a little girl by the name of Mary was awfully curious ".
" Miss Meadows where is Santa at with our presents we should have gotton them by now?". asked Mary curiously.
" I don't really know honey maybe Santa got lost and had to go back to the north pole". explained miss Meadows.
"Miss Meadows felt bad about lying to the poor girl she knew Bo and Luke wouldn't forget on purpose".
Meanwhile back over at the farm after Jesse had gotton the tree up and Daisy got the decorations.
They started decorating the tree while the Christmas Turkey was baking in the oven , Pies was cooling.
Their was a looming black cloud hanging over the farm on account of Bo and Luke were missing.
"Jesse had just gotton done pulling the Turkey out of the oven when the phone rang ".
" Hello this is Jesse Duke speaking may I ask who is calling?". asked Jesse curiously
" Hello Mr. Duke this is Elly May over here at TRI-County Hosptial calling to tell you your nephews Bo and Luke.
" Oh lord thanks for calling m'am would you mind telling me why they is at the hospital?". asked Jesse
" Unfortunetly your nephews were involved in an accident last night due to bad weather conditions on the road".
" Thank you for calling I'll be their shortly thank you for calling me ". Jesse said appericatly
" Oh No well that would explain why the boys wasn't able to deliever the presents". thought Jesse
a few minutes later Daisy walked into the room with an awfully curious look as to who was on the phone
" Hey Uncle Jesse was that Bo and Luke are they on their way home now I sure hope so I miss them ". Daisy said
" No baby unfortunately that was the hospital it seems the boys had an accident". explained Jesse
" OH No does that mean they ain't gonna be home for Christmas Uncle Jesse?". inquired Daisy
" I don't know baby so much for a very merry Christmas huh look's like it's gonna be a blue Christmas ". Jesse said
So Jesse put on his boots , big red coat , and climbed into the truck and took off to the hospital.
"As Jesse drove their he silently prayed that the boys would be okay not miss Christmas".
Meanwhile over at the hospital one of Luke's nurses was coming into his room to check up on him".
" Hello there Luke are you awake yet ?". asked Maybelle
"So she got out her penlight and she shined it into Luke's left eye but unfortunately their was no response".
"Meanwhile in Bo's room he was a little better off then Luke but luckily his body temp was starting to improve".
15 minutes later Jesse pulled into Tri-County's hospital told his nurse he was here to see Bo and Luke Duke".
" Okay Mr. Duke if you take a seat the doctor should be out soon to see you ". said Shirley
Jesse was starting to fear the worst as the hours went by but he just kept thinking good thoughts ".
Then suddenly the doors opened and nice looking older woman stepped out into the waiting room".
" Hello I'm looking for the family of Luke Duke ". asked Dr. Doherty
" Hello miss my name is Jesse Duke I'm Luke's uncle". explained Jesse
" Unfortunately Luke suffered a very terrible closed head injury , severe hypothermia ". explained Dr. Doherty
" Because of that he remains in a very deep Coma which I ain't too sure he'll wake up from ". said Dr. Doherty
" Well he's gonna wake up eventually I mean uh.. he has to he can't just sleep forever". said Jesse
" Sadly he stands a 50 % chance of remaining in what is called a vegative state". explained Dr. Doherty
" Luke is still showing brain activity it's just he can't seem to wake up from his sleep ". said Dr. Doherty
" Now you can see Luke for now but unfortunately you can only stay for a short time ". explained doc
So Jesse followed the doctor down a long hallway to the ICU floor then she let Jesse into Luke's room".
"At first Luke just looked like he was sleeping until you took into account that Luke was in a coma ".
" Luke , Luke , Luke, it's me your Uncle Jesse please open your eyes wake up for me ". said Jesse
"Unfortunately the only sound Jesse could here was the sound of the vintilator pump breathing for Luke".
" Luke please boy open your eyes you can't go yet you is too young ". said Jesse
"Unfortunately it was no use Luke remained asleep as he lay their he could see himself walking on clouds ".
before Jesse knew it his time was up and a nurse was coming in to tell him that he had to go now
Meanwhile back at the farm Daisy looked out at the window at the Christmas Star and prayed.
" I pray that you'll let my cousins Bo and Luke live please don't let them die ". prayed Daisy
