For A Reason

Chapter Ten "Good News"

The next morning was when the neurological specialist was going to check out Fox's spinal cord. The nurse woke him up just after six and got him prepped for it. By seven o'clock they were wheeling him into a stark white room. The specialist was going to do a CAT Scan of his spinal cord and see if anything was wrong. Although Eve had tested his limbs to see if he could move them, they wanted to make sure that nothing could happen sometime down the road and paralyze him.

They placed Fox on the table and began the scanning. Within a minute the specialist had all he needed and the nurses took Fox back to his room. A few minutes later Dr. Russell and the specialist, Dr. Brass came into his room to tell him the results.

"Fox, I've looked at the images from your CAT Scan and am happy to say that there is no indication of a spinal cord injury. However, I would like you to come back in a month for another CAT Scan just to be safe. There is a small chance that something could happen after you are able to move about more and we just want to take every precaution," Dr. Brass said.

"Yeah, sure. But I'm just wondering, what are the odds that something like that happening?"

"Since there is no problem now, I'd say the odds are completely in your favor. But like I said, we just want to take every precaution. If there is no problem in a month than there is nothing to worry about."

"Alright, thank you Dr. Brass."

"You're welcome Fox. I'm glad that I had good news to tell you. If you'll excuse me I have another patient to look at."

After he left Fox turned to Eve. "So, Dr. Russell, now that that's out of the way, how soon can I go home and back to school? This is my last year and I want to graduate on time."

"Well Fox, you seem to be making a fast recovery. Let's say home in three days and school in five or six. But you will have to use a wheelchair for a while."

"I understand. I just want to get out of this place. I hate hospitals."

Eve laughed and then left the room so Fox could rest. Instead of resting though, Fox picked up the phone and called Theresa.

"Hello."

"Resa, it's me. Can you come down here?"

"Sure Fox. I was actually getting ready to head down there. Since its Saturday I'll be able to spend the whole day with you."

"Alright, see you in a few."
