The nurses checked in periodically on Eric during the night. He was still
very weak, but was still alive. Mary and Simon couldn't sleep, so they went
off to the hospital's church, to pray. They stayed in there for most of the
night, and only got a couple of hours sleep. At 7:00 a nurse came out,
Mary walked over to her.
"Mary Camden?" asked the nurse.
"Yes, that's me."
"Well your father is awake, but he is very weak, and we are monitoring his heart rate. You are all welcome to go in the room, I think all your family should see him."
"Thank you." Mary walked back to her siblings and relayed the information. A couple minutes later Scott arrived with the boys, and Robbie with Hailey. Everyone went into the room, and saw Matt looking out the window and Annie holding Eric's hand.
"Hey you guys." Said Eric very quietly.
"Hey." They all said in unison.
They all spent the whole day in the room, only leaving to use the bathroom. They all talked and savored their time with him. At 8:30 he fell asleep, and only Annie was allowed to stay with him, so he could have his space. The rest of them stayed in the waiting room. Again they slept sprawled out on different couches, and chairs.
The next morning came, and Eric was actually starting to get stronger. The nurses estimated he would be able to go home in a day or so. Everyone was ecstatic with the news, and thanked god for answering their prayers. Everyone headed home to shower, and change the clothes they had been wearing for days.
Two days passed, and Eric was allowed to come home. Matt went to pick him up, while everyone waited at the house. Finally Eric walked through the doors, and was bombarded with so many hugs. He sat down on the couch, and talked to everyone for hours. At around 8:00 Mary and Robbie headed home. They bathed Hailey, and put her to bed. Robbie was watching television downstairs, while Mary was getting her much needed sleep.
The next morning Robbie went to work, and Mary stayed home with Hailey. He cleaned up around the house, because she hadn't been home in 3 days.
"Momma gampa sick still?" asked Hailey.
"No, grandpa is better now. Thanks to god."
"Tats good."
"Yes baby, it is good."
Mary spent the rest of the day with her daughter. She played with her, and even watched her sleep while she took a nap. She kept thanking god throughout the day, for keeping her father alive. If he had died, she didn't know what she would've done without him. Even when they had disagreements, and didn't see eye to eye she still respected him. She looked back on all the things he had always done for her. She thought back to the night they made her move to Buffalo. She had hated him for doing that, but after it she realized it was the best thing for her. She loved him so much, and was eternally grateful he was still with them.
***** I know it was short, but hey I really didn't have a lot to say. This is for all of you who didn't want Eric to die. I have a whole plan on what is going to happen, and y'all are just going to have to wait and find out what awaits you. Thank you for the numerous reviews y'all gave me. I am really loved. (tear ,tear) lol, anyways I hope y'all like this chapter, and again I am sorry for the length. I will try to get the next chapter out soon. Please review, and it will give me more of a motivation to write quicker. *****
