Meanwhile*************************************************************
Eric and Annie arrive at the hospital. When they get to the main area they see
hank waiting for them. Annie and Eric walk up to Hank.
Annie: Do you know how Simon is.
Hank: Annie, Eric come with me into my office we need to talk.
Annie and Eric followed Hank into his office. Hank sat down is the chair behind
his desk and Eric and Annietook the two chairs in frount of his desk.
Annie: What's wrong?
Hank: Annie, Nick and the rest of his family died instantly. Simon...
Annie: O my gosh. Please don't tell me he died too.
Hank: Annie calm down. Simon is still alive. We have a probelm though. Simon's
leg was mangled in the twisted meatle. We nearly had to amputate it to get him
out. He tore every muscle and tendon in his right leg. Right now he can still
keep his leg. But there is a chance that a infection might set in. If it does
we will have no other choice but to amputate it. These next few weeks will tell
if he keeps the leg or not.
Eric: Can we see him?
Hank: Yes, I'll show you to his room.
Hank showed Eric and Annie to Simon's room.
*******************************************************************
Over the next few days Annie, Eric, Matt, Robbie, Lucy, and Ruthie visited
Simon in the hospital. After seven days in the hospital Simon was ready to go
home. Even though there was a chance he still could loose his leg.
Eric and Annie had never told Simon or anyone that Simon could loose his leg or
that Nick and his family had died. Simon had never asked and Annie and Eric,
and they liked it that way.
