Outside Kyle's Hospital Room

While all the Braxtons were stood around the door the Kyle's room was thrown open and there was a group of nurse who were wheeling Kyle out and straight towards the lift.

Upon seeing Nate, Brax asked: "Nate what's going on and where is he going?"

Nate knowing that hiding anything back would just annoy the oldest brother said: "Kyle's heart stopped again and due to the amount of pressure that put on his body that is currently healing and his already weakened heart from the previous cardiac arrests we have placed Kyle on a ventilator for the moment."

"So that still doesn't tell me where he is going, Nate?"

"Well as I was about to say, we are now taking Kyle down for an MRI scan." Nate replied to Brax.

Ricky looked at her ex and asked: "What are you hoping to find with that?"

"Well, I want to see if there is perhaps more damage been done to Kyle's body when the beam fell on him than we first thought."

"But I thought he already was given a scan when he first arrived?"

"He was but sometime the CT scan doesn't pick anything other than what we originally found to be wrong with Kyle which is why I've ordered an urgent MRI to be safe." Nate answers.

Casey speaks up: "I don't understand how you could miss anything?"

"It is possible as like I said the CT doesn't pick everything up so if there was something small going on inside of Kyle's body then that scan wouldn't pick it up which is why we are doing an MRI." Nate explains to the family "Anyway I better go but as soon as the scan is done I will come back and explain."

Nate then stopped speaking and headed off in the direction on the lift leaving the Braxtons and Ricky alone.

Casey turns to Brax with a sad look on his face: "How can they miss something Brax?"

"I don't know but I'm sure as hell going to find out!" Brax shouts.

Radiology

By the time Nate had managed to away from the Braxtons and down to Radiology, Kyle already been placed in the MRI machine, so he took his seat beside the technician while he waited for the scans to show up on the screen.

15 minutes later…

Eventually the scans started to appear on the screen one by one.

While they searched through them carefully, everything seemed to normal to Nate apart from the fact that one of Kyle's kidneys appeared to be smaller than the other but for some people it is normal to have one smaller than the other and have a perfectly good life without ever knowing.

Nate stands up and says to Hannah: "Run up to the lab and see if the results from the blood tests we did earlier are done as they might help explain what's going on."

"Ok, I'll go now." Hannah replies.

"I'll be in my office." Nate shouts through the door to the nurse as she walked away.

Watching through the window Nate can see the nurses putting Kyle back on to the hospital bed and take him back to his room while he headed back to his office to wait for Hannah.

Nate's office

10 minutes later…

After walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift Nate finally reaches his office just as Hannah arrives with the results.

"Here you go?" Hannah hands them over.

"Thanks Hannah and why don't you go home surely you want to see the twins." Nate says to her as he takes the results from her.

"No problem and I'd rather stay here and help with Kyle if I go home now the twins will just bombard me with questions on Kyle that I just won't be able to answer."

"You're probably right." Nate said causing the two friends to laugh.

Hannah then decided to leave Nate's office to go get a drink while Nate looks over the results then heads to the waiting room to talk to Kyle's family.

The Waiting Room

Heath is currently pacing the room while everyone else is sat drinking the coffees that Bianca and Ricky had bought.

Being impatient as he always is, Heath asked: "What is taking so long this time?"

Bianca says to Heath that she once read somewhere that MRI's take longer than normal tests and they probably just want to make sure they aren't missing anything.

Just then Nate enters the room and they all stand up and create a small group around Nate.

Brax asks the doctor: "So did you find anything?"

Nate looks at everyone crowd around him and says: "The MRI showed that Kyle has one kidney smaller than the other but that won't be causing any problems as it is normal for people's kidneys to sometimes have one smaller."

"So what's the problem then and why does his heart keep stopping?" Brax asks again.

"Well I sent Hannah to fetch Kyle's blood test results once the scan was done and it appears that Kyle has something called Hyperkalemia."

"What on earth is that?" Ricky asks him.

"Its when there is a high level of potassium in the blood which is what is causing Kyle' heart to keep stopping."

Ricky still not understanding how it is possible asks: "So how did he get that then?"

Nate then explains: "Hyperkalemia can occur when some of the red blood cells in out bodies get destroyed due to a severe injury."

"So your saying that when the beam fell on him it caused this to develop?" Casey asked totally lost by what Nate was saying to them all.

"Yes, but once Kyle's body starts to heal this will automatically fix it's self and won't have any long lasting problems." Nate finishes.

Suddenly Hannah burst into the room with a smile on her face: "Kyle's waking up!"
