Calebs POV:
Arriving into resus me and mum are straight over to Ethans side. "Ethan? Nibbles?" i say quietly as his eyes flicker open and closed. "Ethan? Sweetheart?" mum holds his hand and talks softly to him as well. Just then a small groan and his eyes flicker again as he opens them fully for the first time.
Ethans POV:
Im tired, confused and why is mum saying my name? As my eyes open slowly i realise i am in the hospital staring at the resus ceiling. I dared to think what has happened while I've been asleep. Looking around i see the faces of all my friends and co workers and also of Caleb and mum. "what's happened?" i ask quietly. My throat feels like it's on fire but that may be because i have a tube through my nose and going down my throat. Caleb explains everything to me. The seizures, how my heart stopped, my bleed on my brain. I just stare at the ceiling shocked that all this has happened. Connie starts checking my vitals and asking me all sorts like do i know where i am? Am i in pain? Where does it hurt most? My eyes turn towards her. "well i feel like I've been hit by a truck, im in hospital and it hurts everywhere" i say sarcastically. A few moments later she lets us know i am clear and Lofty proceeds to take the neck brace off me. As i slowly sit up Caleb is there to make sure i am ok. As i get comfy Rita speaks to me. "we need to make sure there has been no lasting damage so will need to take you back up to CT just to make sure." I nod in agreement as they start to get me ready to leave for CT.
*1 hour later*
Ritas POV:
Ethans results are back from CT and as i look over them i head towards resus to give him the news. Walking in its daunting as they all know what i have in my hand and its weird at how i am the only one right now to know what is on them. As i look at Ethan, Cal and Matilda i talk directly at them about the results. "So Ethan, your scan results are back and show absolutely no sigh of any lasting damage to you. With time you should be back to full health, but understand its going to take some time to get that. Dont rush it because you need to make sure you take care of yourself." Just then Cal laughs and says "dont worry Rita im going to make sure he takes it easy. You hear that nibbles no going out partying" he snickers to himself. "oh yeah because i did lots of that before" Ethan says with a big hint of sarcasm.
*1 week later*
Ethans POV:
Starting to get bored before in hospital. I love working here but not being the patient. Hopefully i can go home soon and just rest there. Its going to be a lot easier for me. I feel like i will be able to rest and recover better in my own home. Just then Cal and mum walk in. "Connie said you can go home now." A smile comes across my face. "When can i leave?" i ask eager as mum answers. "Now. We signed the discharge forms and you have been given the all clear to go. Cone on lets get you home." As i get up and changed into some comfy clothes mum sets about getting the stuff together. As i sot in the wheelchair Cal begins to push me out towards the car. "Its going to take time but im going to be just fine" i think to myself smiling softly at the thought. Here's to getting better i say.
