As the days passed , blended into the next Bo's memory which was still a little fuzzy he tried his best to remember.
But no matter how hard he tried his memory was wiped cleaner then a plucked chicken an the preacher coming for supper.
Meanwhile the Dukes was just now arriving at the hospital to chat with Dr. Cunningham about Luke's surgery.
Bo was still tryin' his hardest to remember anythin' that would give him a clue as to why this happened to him , Luke.
" Uncle Jesse I ... , I ain't remembering nothing that would give me a clue as to why me , Luke got in this mess. confessed Bo
" Well .., that's because you suffered a bad blow to the head ain't no use worrying boy it'll all come back. admitted Jesse
Meanwhile Luke was still about the same every now , then his eyelids would twitch they wouldn't open , he was being examined by a nurse.
" Well first she examined Lukes' pupillary response sadly it was sluggish , then she checked his reflexes , a little better.
Meanwhile out in the waiting room time was passing by like molasses , Jesse Duke was starting to lose his patience.
" I ain't believing this what in the heck is takin' that dang doctor so long I'm starting to grow root's. complained Jesse
Daisy seeing that her uncle was stressing she figured she'd go over an see if she could help him calm down.
" Uncle Jesse calm down now don't go getting your blood pressure up now., I'm sure the doctor will be out soon. assured Daisy
" As if the angels in heaven had heard Daisy 2 hour's later Luke's doctor was in the waiting room.
" Hello mr. Duke I'm sorry for the long wait I was getting the paperwork ready for you to sign ". explained Dr. Cunningham
" Well um..., doc what are the chances of Luke waking up from his coma after having the surgery ?. asked Jesse
" providing he don't suffer any complication's during the surgery his chances are I'm gonna say 50% chance . explained Dr. Cunningham
" Mr. Duke since Luke is still unconcious we need your signature on these paper's to perform the surgery . explained Dr. Cunningham
So at first Jesse looked over the paper's before he signed them , then he signed them an handed them back to the doctor.
So once the doctor had the Dukes permission he went back into the ICU to get Luke prepped for surgery.
The doctor first partily shaved Luke's head were the incision will be, then Luke who was still out cold was taken to the OR.
Once they arrived in the OR Dr. Cunningham went over to where the shelf were he kept the antibiotic solution , poured it on a towel.
Since Luke ain't able to breath on his own he was hooked up to a ventilator to help him breath during the surgery.
Then he went over to Luke , rubbed it on the part of his head which was shaved , then he made a small incision to show Luke's skull.
He got out his air drill , drilling into Luke's skull to relive the pressure , once that was done he slowly started to sitich Luke up.
Then he was sent to the recovery room , so far everything was looking good except Luke wasn't waking up.
2 hours later Luke was put back into his room , being hooked up to life support while his doctor went to tell the dukes the news.
Meanwhile in the waiting room the Jesse was praying silently for Luke, Daisy was trying not to cry, Bo was pacing the floor.
" Bo c'mon an sit down now before you burn a hole in the carpet from walking on it so much now that's an order. suggested Jesse
" Uncle Jesse I ain't gonna sit down until that doctor comes out of the ER , tell's us that Luke is okay . said Bo worriedly
" Now Bo that ain't up to us it's up to the good lord to decide when a person goes up to them pearly gates . stated Jesse
2 hours later Dr. Cunningham came out to the waiting room , he told the Dukes that Luke is okay , safe for now.
" Oh ..., thank god I was so afraid that you would be telling us that he ain't made it , we would be saying goodbye to him. admitted Jesse
" Sadly Luke ain't awake yet so only time will tell if the surgery worked or not y'all can see him now if y'all want to. stated Dr. Cunningham
Bo was the first one to see Luke , an at first Luke looked like he was just sleeping but he just wasn't waking up.
So Bo picked up Luke's hand , he rubbed it hoping that Luke would wake up , an open his eyes for him.
No matter how much Bo begged or or pleaded o'l Luke just layed their out colder then a dead salmon.
" Luke please wake up for me I ain't ready to lose you . Now cousin I'm giving you one last chance now wake up. ! begged Bo
Bo was close to tears as he watched Luke just laying their not making a peep looking more dead then he did alive.
" Well Lukas I know your in their somewhere an I know that I ain't the most patient person just promise me you'll come back. begged Bo
Suddenly Bo heard a soft little whimper an so he looked to see if anyone was making the noise no one was their, then he heard it again.
So he looked down at the bed , their was Luke making a soft whimper moving his head side to side as if he was in a bad dream.
" Uh oh friend's sound's to me like O'l Luke is stuck in a dream he can't wake up from sure hope help comes soon."
