"Family of Michael Reeves?"
"Yes?" Megan, Marsha, and their two other sisters stood up.
"Dr. Robert Clarence." He shook their hands, and they sat down.
"Mr. Reeves has a collapsed lung due to 3 broken ribs, and so we needed to put a drainage tube in his lung to keep it from collapsing any further. He'll need to have that for at least another 36 hours. He also has a broken arm, and numerous minor cuts and bruises."
"When will he be able to leave?" Megan asked nervously
"Probably in about a week and a half. Visiting hours are 24 hours a day except for shift change, which is 4:00-4:15 am, noon-12:15 pm, and 8:00-8:15 pm."
"Thank you."
"Who wants to go first?" Megan asked as she turned to her sisters.
"Megan, why don't you go first?"
"I, um, sure." She paused.
"What do I say? I mean, I haven't even seen him in 10 years, let alone talked to him while he was in the hospital." She looked towards her older sisters for advice.
"Just.., Do you still care about him?"
"Yes."
"Then make sure he knows that. Make sure he knows that you still care."
