Timothy was soon home. He found his father and sister julienne standing in the doorway talking. Patrick had to tell his son that his new mother might have TB again. Timothy went very quiet for while. He left him colouring a picture for his mother and returned to his conversation with sister julienne.

After a while they both agreed that shelagh would have to go to hospital. Patrick ran for an ambulance while sister julienne got Shelagh's things together.

"Shelagh? Time to wake up sweetheart." Patrick stroked his wife's cheek and told her what was happening. She was slightly confused. You would be too if you found two men you didn't know at the foot of your bed.

Within the hour shelagh was at hospital undergoing blood tests and x-rays. Timothy and Patrick had to stay at home as the situation wasn't an emergency. Patrick couldn't sleep. He spent the whole night moving around in bed and crying silently. Patrick dropped timothy off the next day at school. He promised his son he was going to spend the whole day with his mother. He kept his word an arranged a cover for him while he visited shelagh.

"This way Mr. turner." A nurse gestured for him to follow. After walking for what seemed like an age, they walked down a narrow corridor and into a small room. Shelagh was hooked up to a small glass of blood. It was early in the morning and she hadn't woken yet.

"She's been on donor blood for the past 12 hours. The doctors will be here in a few minutes to talk to you about what has happened." He looked at the nurse thankfully and thanked her for the work.

She left the room quietly and Patrick sat by the bed. He held shelagh hand. He could tell that she wasn't to wake up soon. Shelagh had red bags under her eyes. After about 5 minutes two light haired doctors came in. They spoke quietly. The situation was better than Patrick could have ever hoped for.

"It turns out she had encountered the side of the treatment she had for tuberculosis. Her stomach lining has been very weak since by the look it. A blood vessel popped when she was coughing. We don't know what caused the coughing but we do know that your wife doesn't have a recurrence of tuberculosis." Patrick sighed a sigh of relief. "she will have to stay in hospital for a few days as we need to run more tests. This is so that we can confirm that she can return home."

Over the coming days the doctors were satisfied that shelagh turner didn't have TB. However, they found something quite surprising...

As you all wished she didn't get TB. I'm hopefully going to do more stuff on timothy and his father. Please review! Glad you're enjoying the story so far. Please write in the reviews what you want to happen or what you think will happen... xxxxxxx
