"Mrs. Knight I'm afraid I have some bad news" Dr. Thomas said.
Jennifer Knight felt her heart racing about a million miles a minute. Bad News. That's all her mind could process right now. That there was bad news about Logan.
"Bad News? What do you mean bad news? Is Logan okay? He's not dead or anything right?" Mrs. Knight asked pleading with Dr. Thomas. She needed to know he was okay. Logan had to be okay.
"Mrs. Knight calm down.." Dr. Thomas said taking a hold of her shoulder's to get her to relax.
"You have bad news about Logan and you tell me to calm down? Dr. Thomas he's like my son so don't tell me to calm down" Jennifer snapped.
"I just need you calm down long enough for me to tell you that Logan is alive" Dr. Thomas said.
"He's alive? But then what's the bad news?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"Let me explain I talked to Logan's doctor Dr. Reynolds he told me that Logan's in critical condition"
"Critical how bad is it?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"As your aware Logan received most of the impact from the accident..." Dr. Thomas said Mrs. Knight nodded edging him to continue.
"Due to the accident Logan has several injuries which Dr. Reynolds will explain more in detail when he comes to talk with you...now I know your aware that Logan was barley breathing when he arrived at the hospital that was due to a broken rib that had punctured his right lung which then collapsed." he explained.
"We managed to fix this with surgery however he still not completely breathing on his own we have him hooked up to a ventilator. We monitoring that closely. Due to the impact Logan also suffered a huge blow to the head, this caused internal bleeding as well as swelling in the brain" Dr. Thomas said.
Mrs. Knight stood almost frozen as her brain tried to process everything that was wrong with Logan. "Swelling and internal bleeding? Is that bad?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"It's different in every case but in Logan's case the pressure of the swelling has managed to push down on his brain stem which then caused him to..." Dr. Thomas paused for a moment.
"Caused what?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"Mrs. Knight I'm sorry to say this but Logan's in a coma" Dr. Thomas said.
The tears that were forming in Mrs. Knight's eyes were now sliding down her face slowly as she closed her eyes sucking in a breath.
"Coma" she whispered in disbelief.
"I'm so sorry" Dr. Thomas said with so much sympathy.
"When will he wake up?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"It's really hard to tell he has such a severe head injury and they are very serious and they are critical...only time will tell" Dr. Thomas said.
Mrs. Knight sucked in a breath. "Okay...are we allowed to see him?" she asked.
"At the moment Logan's not allowed any visitors. But Dr. Reynolds will come up and talk to you and let you know exactly what's going on" Dr. Thomas said.
"Thank you Dr. Thomas" Mrs. Knight said.
"Your welcome and I'm sorry I couldn't give you better news" Dr. Thomas said.
"It's alright...it's your job" Mrs. Knight said.
Dr. Thomas nodded.
Mrs. Knight glanced at the door.
"Are you alright?" Dr. Thomas asked.
"It's just hard you know? These boys have been friends for ten years...they aren't just friends their brother's...I just don't know what I'm going to tell them about Logan" Mrs. Knight said.
"Just be honest this is going to be a difficult thing to go through but at least you'll be through it together and you just got to have hope. Logan's a strong kid" Dr. Thomas said.
"Thank you so much Dr. Thomas you've been helping us so much" Mrs. Knight said.
"It's no problem like you said it's my job and I'm always here to help" Dr. Thomas said.
"We really appreciate it" Mrs. Knight said.
"Of course now...I have to go make some rounds I'll be back in a little while to check on Kendall. The nurses should be bringing in some morphine to help him with the pain" Dr. Thomas said.
"Okay I'll see you then" Mrs. Knight said. Dr. Thomas smiled and left.
Mrs. Knight sighed and walked to the room. She slowly opened the door.
"Hey boys" Mrs. Knight said.
"Mom" Kendall said sitting up more.
"Did Dr. Thomas find things out about Logan?" James asked.
Mrs. Knight nodded. "Dr. Thomas did talk with Logan's Doctor" Mrs. Knight said.
"So...what's going on?" Carlos asked. "With Logan I mean"
"Alright boys Logan's in critical condition...the Doctor told me has several injuries but he didn't go into a lot of detail about that." Mrs. Knight explained.
"What did he go into detail about? What makes him critical?" Kendall asked.
"Boys...I'm sorry to have to say this but Logan's in a coma." Mrs. Knight said.
