Marc Delgado fell asleep by his Mom's side still wishing and praying for Lu's recovery. He woke up when the sun hit his face. He decided to go get himself some breakfast and left his Mom not before kissing her on the cheek. "Be back soon Mom."
However Marc picked that exact moment to leave when. Lu opened her eyes for the first time in three months. She awoke to find her room empty. Just then Dana appeared at her side. "Oh my gosh Lu you are awake how are you feeling?" She asked happily. "Who are you, what is going on? Get me out of here." Dana looked quite alarmed. "Lu it's ok it's me Dana, your partner at Rittenhouse hospital where you work. You are ok and safe. " Lu was tired so she accepted the situation. "Ok so you are Dana?" She asked in a daze. "Yes Lu that's it. Just go back to sleep now okay I'll be back later to check on you" "Okay." When Dana left a few minutes later she was scared that Lu would never remember anything of her life before the trauma.
She ran into Marc in the hallway. "Oh Marc your Mom woke up." "What oh my god Dr. Stowe why didn't someone come get me?" "Marc sit down." "What is it Dr. Stowe, you are scaring me." Dana pulled up Marc a chair. "I'm sorry Marc but it looks like your mom has amnesia." "What?" Marc started crying. He started thinking, he had wished for this. This was his fault. He didn't know what to do so he ran away from Dana. He ran so fast and he headed out the hospital doors with Peter and Lana at his heels.
He sat down on the pavement and continued to cry. Lana and Peter looked up at each other. Each one was gesturing for the other to talk to him. Lana finally won as she always does and Peter tried talking to him.
"Marc I know this situation with your Mom is upsetting. We're here for you if you need to talk." Marc looked up at him all teary-eyed. "You don't know what has happened, OH GOD IT'S WORSE." He cried out. Lana and Peter looked alarmed. "What is it Marc what got worse?" Peter asked almost afraid of what he would say. "Mom woke up but she has amnesia." Lana and Peter both grabbed Marc and started hugging him. "It's ok kid, it'll be ok." Lana comforted him. "NO IT WON'T!!" Marc was still really upset. "We will get her through this Marc she is strong and she has got through things before." Peter told him. "I know." He said still sobbing. "I have an idea." Lana suddenly said. "Let's go make a list of things we can do for your Mama that will help her." Marc seemed to agree that this was the best idea anyone had so he let Peter and Lana take him back into the clinic.
Everyone didn't want Lu to have amnesia so over the next few days they tried to jog Lu's memory to see if she could remember at least something about her past. Dana was the most surprised she couldn't. But Dana kept on trying. She knew that she couldn't stop until Lu was somewhat back to normal.
A few days later on Friday Lu started physical therapy to get her walking again. She also started speech therapy. Lu started to come around a bit. But she was still a long way from recovery at this point. Dana begged Lu not to give up and to keep trying.
Two weeks later Lu started talking and walking better, it looked like Lu was on the track to recovering, Dana was so happy about that, but she knew they still had miles to go.
It had been about two more weeks of Lu's therapies and tests, and still no one could jog her memory. Lu hadn't had that much of a problem walking and talking those things would come especially with time and patience and of course practice. Marc had been by every day and stayed with her and told her all of the memories he could think of. He even talked his dad into coming by. Bill told her high school memories, but even he couldn't get her to remember. Dana, Peter, Lana, and Nick everyone had told her of all of the patients she had saved thinking that surely she would recall that. But sadly she didn't. The neurologists and experts assured them that it might be a long time before anyone or anything sounded or looked familiar. It didn't stop them from trying. Lu's room was covered in pictures and important things of her's. She felt so frustrated not knowing anything about her past.
"See look Mom this is a picture of you, me and Isabella. Remember Mom she is your abuela, and she raised you." Marc tried to help his Mom remember. Lu looked like she was going to cry, "Sorry, not remember." She told him. She was having problems conveying her feelings but they thought the speech impediment would get better. Other than that, she was recovering quickly except for the memory loss, and the docs wanted to keep her in the hospital for a while longer.
Just then Dana came into the room. "Lu, we want to get another MRI right now, so we're going to take you to get one, ok?" Lu's personality was one thing she hadn't forgotten and it was shining through. "No, had one two days ago, do I have to go?" Dana smiled and said "of course you do," and then she wheeled Lu away. While Lu was having her MRI, Dr. Mendel came to talk with Dana.
"I want to let you know Dr. Stowe to be very aware of Dr. Delgado's condition. Although she appears to be doing better, she may soon not even remember these past few days one night she may wake up and not know where she is and she might become quite disoriented so please keep a close watch on her at all times or have someone do it for you." "Don't worry Dr. Mendel, I will keep a close watch on her, I would hate to think what would happen if she WAS left alone."
OOOHHHH. What's gonna happen next! Well you will just have to wait and see and remember you have a happy helpful friend called the review button and he is so lonely so press him!! ~*Erin and Val*~
