"Alright Cappie, we think we've come up with a plan that will work." Dr. Keenan said.

"What is it?" Casey asked. Even though he was doing it anyway, she wanted to know exactly what would be happening to him.

"I will carefully remove the outer layer of the cast, leaving the gauze bandage material underneath intact." Dr. Keenan explained.

"Once that's done we will remove the bandages the same way the nurse had before." One of the doctors from the burn unit added. "After the bandages are completely removed we'll apply the maggots."

"Now this procedure is going to take a very long time because we can only do one section at a time. We do not want to take a cast off an area and risk damaging the bone before we are ready to work on it." Dr. Keenan continued.

"What will you do after the procedure?" Rusty asked, also wanting to know his best friend's fate.

"Once we remove the maggots all the dead skin should be gone. That's when we'll move him to a hyperbaric chamber to encourage healthy skin cell growth." The burn unit team continued to explain.

"When the burn unit believes enough skin has healed I'll go back and reset and recast his arms and legs." Dr. Keenan explained the final part of the procedure.

"How long?" This time it was Cappie to speak up.

"If we start now we should be done by tomorrow afternoon." Dr. Keenan said.

"There is one other thing." Lexi finally chimed in. "Cappie will need to be in a medically induced coma during the entire procedure."

"A coma? Why?" Beaver asked.

"Even under regular sedation there's a chance of an involuntary spasm, which is something that cannot occur for this procedure to be a success. The coma will remove any chance of the bones slipping out of place while we work." Lexi continued.

"Just do it." Cappie said.

"Are you sure?" Casey asked. "You'll be in a coma for more than 24 hours."

"I don't care." Cappie replied. "Do it."

"Alright. We'll go get the anesthesiologist and get started." Lexi said, following Dr. Keenan and the doctors from the burn unit out the door.

"Hey Cap, if you don't mind I think I'm going to head out too." Rusty said. "I need to finish packing. Those campers aren't going to counsel themselves."

"Spitter, you're a camp counselor?" Beaver asked, slightly surprised.

"Why yes I am." Rusty said proudly.

"Good luck Spitter." Cappie said.

"You too big brother." Rusty replied. "I'll be back when you wake up."

Rusty walked out the door, leaving Casey and Beaver to tend to Cappie.

"Your brother's seriously becoming a camp counselor." Beaver said, still surprised.

"Yup; he decided to do something a little different for a summer job this year. Mom and dad thought the outdoorsiness would do him some good." Casey said.

"Well if it works out well for him maybe we can put him to work with the new pledges. He can be assistant pledge educator." Beaver chuckled.

"Ah, new pledges." Cappie smiled.

"New pledges that are going to need a president to lead them. You need to get your butt out of this hospital." Beaver smiled.

"I know Beav." Cappie smiled. He wanted to be there to terrorize the new pledges.

"Well thanks to Beaver you might be out of here sooner than expected." Casey smiled. She wanted Cappie out of there as much as he did.

"Thanks man." Cappie said to Beaver.

"Don't thank me. Thank Wikipedia." Beaver chuckled.

Moments later, Lexi walked back in with the anesthesiologist.

"Dr. Keenan and the burn unit are preparing the OR. Are you ready Cappie?" Lexi asked.

"Ready." Cappie replied.

"Well then, Dr. Slate will administer the anesthetic first before giving you the medicine to induce the coma." Lexi explained.

Dr. Slate put a new IV into Cappie's arm. Through this one poured the thick milky liquid that was the anesthetic.

"See you on the other side." Cappie said before succumbing to the anesthesia and falling asleep.

"We'll put him in the coma once we're in the OR." Dr. Slate said. "For now he should be ok to transport."

"Since this procedure is going to take a long time, why don't the both of you go home and get some rest. We'll call you and keep you updated as the procedure progresses." Lexi said.

"Are you sure he'll be ok." Beaver asked.

"I don't want to leave him here by himself." Casey said.

"He'll be fine." Lexi smiled. "And he won't be alone. I'll be with him the entire time."

"I guess that's ok." Casey said. At least he wouldn't be totally alone.

"As long as he's alright I'm happy." Beaver said.

"Well then we better get going. The sooner we get started the sooner we'll be done." Lexi smiled. She helped the other nurse pull Cappie's bed out of the room, headed up to the OR.

"I guess I should probably go home and tell my parents what the doctors are doing." Casey sighed. She didn't really want to leave him, but there wasn't much she could do but sit there until he was out of surgery.

"I'll go with you." Beaver said. "Your parents are nice people."

"I keep forgetting you met my parents." Casey said.

"Yeah, that was an interesting weekend." Beaver laughed.

"Tell me about it." Casey giggled; remembering she was the reason Kappa Tau's plan got ruined.

"Well are we going or not?" Beaver asked.

"I guess so." Casey said, following Beaver out of the now empty room.

The two got in Casey's car and drove back to Casey's house.

"Next stop…Casa de Cartwright." Beaver laughed, trying to lighten the mood as much as possible.
