Chapter 20

Recovery

Ali's POV.

I woke up with a start. I had a really bad dream. I dreamt that I was in a hospital because I needed to have knee surgery. Then it dawned on me. It wasn't a dream, it was reality. It was the middle of the night. The curtains were closed and the light was off in my room. I decided to go back to sleep and wait until morning.

Lucy's POV.

I woke up the next morning, pretty tired. I had a hard time sleeping knowing my daughter was recovering from surgery. I went downstairs and cooked breakfast. Once everyone was downstairs, we ate and then drove to the hospital. "Can I help you," asked the receptionist?

"We're here to see Ali Kinkirk," I said.

"Room 24. Right down this hallway," she added pointing down a hallway. We walked down it and reached room 24. We waited outside as the doctor checked Ali. When the doctor left, we walked in. I ran right up to my daughter and gave her a hug.

"Hey, sweety."

"Hi, mom," she replied.

"How do you feel," asked my husband?

"Better," she replied.

"Can we see your leg," asked Adam?

"Not now," I said.

"It's okay, mom." She revealed her leg. There was a decent size scar on it where they made the cut.

"How long did the doctor say you would have to be here," I asked?

"At least till Wednesday(A/N. I don't know really how long). So where is Savannah this week?"

"She is in Phoenix. After that, we don't know."

Ali's POV.

It was nice to see my family. I was glad that I survived. I don't remember most of it, but I learned a little bit from the doctor. After my family left, the team stopped by, except for Savannah of course. They each gave me a card and said a few things. After they left, I took a nap.

Saturday...

Ali's POV.

I was awaken by my doctor. I was still in the hospital. "Hello, doctor," I said.

"Feeling, better Ali," he asked?

"Yeah."

"Well, let me check you." He did. "Everything seems to be in order. You should be able to leave this afternoon."

"Thank you doctor." He left the room. My family arrived a little bit later.

"How do you feel," asked my dad?

"Better. Have you talked to the doctor?"

"No, why?"

"He said I could go home this afternoon."

"That's good to hear," said a voice from the door. We all looked to see who it was. It was Savannah and my aunt Mary. Savannah ran over and gave me a hug.

"Why are you here? Are you on break?"

"Goodness no," said my aunt Mary. "This weeks Wright Basketball camp is here in Jefferson."

"That is so cool," said Ali. "I wish I could help."

"So do I," said Savannah. "Maybe you can come and watch a few of the days."

"I think that might work," said my aunt Mary.

"I'd like that," I replied.

Later that day...

"Okay, Ms. Kinkirk, you are all set to go," said the doctor. I was so pleased to finally be going home. A nurse brought in my wheelchair and a couple of nurses helped me get into in. My siblings took turns pushing it out of the hospital. There was an electrical one at home. We drove home and then my dad took Savannah and aunt Mary back to the hotel.

Savannah's POV.

Seeing my vice-principal/activity director on Sunday was okay. We had been on good terms since I moved here. I knew everyone from Callen-Jefferson who came to help, no surprise. We went over the basics, and then we went out to eat. Afterwards, I went back to my hotel room and fell asleep. It felt strange to be so close to my home and not being able to sleep in my own bed. I woke up the next morning, hoped through the shower and we loaded the bus. We waited in my homeroom until the camp started. They went through the usual introductions, until it got to me. "And finally," said coach K. "From Callen, Florida, she just finished her freshman year at Callen-Jefferson High School. Your very own, Savannah Kinkirk." I ran out, and the crowd was cheering. It was amazing to get a home welcoming. I high-fived my whole teammates. They split the boys and girls up and we got started. We basically ran the same things.

On Wednesday, I got a big surprise. I was working with a group of girls with Tabetha and Katelyn. I passed the ball to Tabetha who didn't even try for it. "Come on, Tabetha," I said. She pointed toward the gym door. I turned around. Ali had just come in, in her wheelchair. I started clapping, so did the rest of my teammates and aunt Mary. I ran over to my sister and gave her a hug. "Hey, Ali," I said, letting go.

"So this is basketball camp," she said. "Well, get back to work." She went over to the sidelines and I went back to work.

"Who is that," asked one of the girls?

"That is my older sister, Ali. She just had knee surgery last week." We continued on. Everynow and then, Ali would roam around the gym in her wheelchair. When the camp was done for the day, I went home to visit with my family. I didn't have to be back until bedtime, so I spent the afternoon on the trampoline. The team came by and we just hung out. I went back to the hotel around 9 o'clock. Amy was already asleep, she had been pretty tired since camp ended at noon. However, she opened her eyes when I walked in. She was sweating really badly. I felt her forehead, and she was burning up. I dialed Mary and she came. She dialed 911. The ambulence came. We got a ride to the hospital, coach K, aunt Mary and I. We had already informed the team. I basically had to go to give the doctors some information. I told them what had happened. Afterwards, I went to the waiting room and sat down with coach K and aunt Mary. I was in tears. My aunt Mary hugged me.

"It's okay, Savannah," she said conforting me. It worked a little bit. I wiped my tears. A few minutes later, the doctor returned.

"How is she," asked coach K?
"She's stable."

"What happened to her," I asked?

"Her temputure just rised. If you hadn't gotten there when you did, she would probably be dead." We went back to the hotel and informed the group. We went to bed. It felt strange having the room to myself.

A/N. Please R&R. Hope you are enjoying. The bit at the end was not planned.
