Doctor Robert Grenallio walked side-by-side with his nurse, Heather Applebee. She had told him about all the visitors Ron had, and how she was losing hope in this whole deal. Ron had been stabilized for three months, and if he didn't come out now, when was he going to? She told him her worries, and he nodded again and again, but didn't address them. He had been worried too. He just chose not to show it. Ron had been a favorite for everyone to check in on. Sometimes, Heather told him, she found some of the surgeons from upstairs hanging out in his room, or the E.R. nurses would stop by and relive the story of when he first arrived.
It seems as though he touched many people's lives by saying nothing.

The Weasley siblings found it hard to leave but all the same, left Bill and Ginny at the hospital to stay with him. The twins and Percy left for the hotel, leaving them without a car, but they would return in the morning to check up on him. Ginny pleaded with Bill to let her walk upstairs to visit the people who had helped Ron when he first arrived, and he agreed. An hour and a half later, she hadn't returned. He went upstairs to check up on her and saw she had a huge crowd around her each telling her one thing, but everyone let each other speak. Then she hugged many of them, and walked with Bill back to Ron's room. They both fell asleep and by the time they woke up, the nurse had been in to draw the curtains back.

Jack and Des didn't arrive into Vancouver until four am. Des obviously wasn't happy about being there so early because nothing started until about six. She did show Jack around because he had never been here before. He was very excited to get to meet, well at least see, who Ron was, even though he wasn't able to talk to him. She knew the visiting hours, and so when 6:30 rolled around and before the sun had begun to rise, she took him over to Kensington. She showed him around the first floor, with the maternity and the babies laying the in little cribs through the glass. Then she signed them both in, and walked upstairs. The nurse at the desk said room 143, and she was sure she knew where it was. Jack followed her, holding her hand tightly, not knowing what to expect. When she opened the door quietly, She and Jack found Bill and Ginny sleeping. Ron lay on what looked like a steel board, stiff as anything she had ever seen. She clasp her hand over her mouth and sat down in one of the chairs. Jack sat next to her.
"So this in Ron?" She nodded. She grabbed for his hand and she squeezed it hard. She had never seen anyone in such bad shape. Even with the stake she took, she wasn't that bad off. Des closed her eyes to keep from crying. Not in front of Jack. He loved her, she knew for sure, but he never knew Ron, so he probably wouldn't get it. Jack got up and slipped the piece of paper out of his pocket. It read:
Ron
It was blank, as if he knew she would want to leave a note for him. She smiled and hugged him, then quickly jotted down a note. After she was done, she lay it on his stomach. She and Jack quietly left the room and left the hospital. They did what they needed to do. Now all she wanted to do is go home.
