Chapter 4
"We are trying to stop the bleeding as we speak"
Elliot couldn't believe his ears. "So why are you here and not in the operation room"!
Cragen laid a hand on Elliot's shoulder. "Come down, they are doing all they can"
"I will update you as soon as we know more" the doctor turned around and went back to the operation room.
"This is all my fault" Elliot raised his voice.
"What?"
"Yeah, she is been looking sick for quiet sometime and I did nothing about it. She said she was feeling sick a few times and I didn't even paid attention to it"
"You couldn't do anything. She is a grown woman and you are not her babysitter."
Cragen felt as guilty as Elliot. He did notice the change in Olivia's appearance but didn't even bother to do anything about it. More then once he saw her running sick to the toilet. He did once ask her about it and all she said was "I ate something bad".
"Elliot, I need to go back to the station. Stay here and update me as soon as you know anything".
"O.k. I will".
Cragen left Elliot. He really didn't want to leave the hospital before he knew anything about Olivia, but the workload that waited for him back in the squad room was very intense.
Another hour passed. Elliot walked up and down the corridor more than 10 times. Please god let her be alright. I promise I'll take care of her. He felt very strange about the way he felt towards Olivia.
The doctor finally came back to speak with Elliot.
"How is she?"
"She is in recovery now. We think she is bleeding because an acute Pancreatitis".
"What? What does that mean?
"Acute pancreatitis occurs suddenly and lasts for a short period of time and usually resolves. However in Olivia's case it is complicated since it wasn't taken care of in time. The bleeding caused an infection. The enzymes and toxins entered the bloodstream, and we have to wait to see which organs have been damaged as a result of this."
"We did stop the bleeding, but she is still not stable. We will have to wait for tomorrow to asses the damage."
"Can I see her?"
"Yes, come with me".
Elliot walked with the Doctor. He felt very scared to see Olivia, but he knew I had to.
As he entered the room he froze. Olivia was looking very pail and had a respirator to assist her breathing. She was sleeping. Elliot approached the bed and pulled closely a chair so he can sit beside her.
He touched her hand slightly. He felt that no matters what happens he will be by her side. He will make it all good and will make his best to stand by his partner that during all the years they spent together she took care of him whenever he had a problem.
Going back, he remembered the day he sign the divorce papers. She went with him and then took him to eat lunch just to cheer him up. "We didn't I notice before?"
A nurse came in to check on her. She checked that the ventilator and the heart monitor were in place.
"She will sleep for a while, maybe would you like to go down to the cafeteria to have a coffee?"
"No, I need to be with her".
"I understand" the nurse left the room and closed the door behind her.
Elliot felt very tired. He placed his head on the bed near Olivia's hand and closed his eyes. Please god, I don't want to lose her too…
He awoke suddenly when he felt a movement. He saw Olivia was waking up. He touched her hand. She looked at him with a sad look. She tried to say something but couldn't because of the ventilator.
"Don't try to talk, I'll get you a notepad" Elliot went to the nurses station and ask a pen and paper. He came back to the room and placed it on Olivia's right hand. She wrote:
"Am I dying?"
"You are going to be alright, I'll call the Doctor so he can explain it to you" He pressed the nurse Button.
Suddenly he heard the heart monitor beeping, Olivia closed her eyes. The nurse that just came into the room went back to the corridor and yield:
"Code Blue, I need some help here….."
Let me know what you think, any review is a bless!
