Annie and Eric finally arrive in Chicago after their flight was delayed. As they were in baggage claim Annie said to Eric "I'm going to go and call the kids quick." "Okay" replied Eric. Lucy was starting to get dinner ready when Annie called. "Hello, Camden residence" answered Lucy. "Lucy it's me mom. I just wanted to call and let you know we got to Chicago safe. I have to go we have to get a taxi and get to the hospital." said Annie. "Okay mom, please call us when you know more about Ruthie", replied Lucy. "Don't worry I will. I love you replied Annie. "I love you too mom" said Lucy.
Mean while back at the ER. Dr. Elizabeth Corday was up in surgery checking on her patients from the other day. She came over to Ruthie and was checking her chart. She turned to one of the nurses "How is she? Has she regained conciseness?" asked Elizabeth. "No not yet" replied the nurse.
Neela and Michael walked into the ER to start their shift. Neela walked over to Dr. Lewis and asked "Has the Camden's girl family arrived yet?" "No I don't think so" replied Dr. Lewis. "I'm going to go up and check on her quick. Page me if you need me" said Neela. "Alright, just hurry back" replied Susan.
Just as Neela turned to leave to go to the Intensive Care Unit a man and woman walked up to the front desk. "Excuse me, our daughter was involved in an accident yesterday. We came as soon as we could" said Annie. Frank was just about to ask them their daughter's name when Neela stepped forward to talk to them. "Excuse me" said Neela. "Are you the Camden's?" asked Neela. "Yes we are" replied Eric. "I'm Dr. Rasgotra I'm the one that called you the other night." said Neela. "I'll take you up to the ICU to see your daughter." said Neela.
"Do you know what happened?" asked Annie. "She and her boyfriend was involved in a car accident. Me and another doctor were there when I happened." replied Neela. "Is she okay?" asked Eric. "She was taken up to surgery last night. I'll show you to the ICU and then find her surgeon. Okay?" replied Neela. "How bad is it?" asked Annie. "Well I don't know. When she went up to surgery she became a surgical patient. So you'll have to talk to the surgeon." replied Neela. They got to the ICU and Neela took them to the waiting room. "Wait here I'll go find her doctor." said Neela.
Neela walked up to one of the ICU nurses. "Do you know where Dr. Corday is?" she asked. "Yes, she's in checking some of her patients." replied the nurse. "Could you go get her for me?" asked Neela. "Sure, wait here." replied the nurse. About five minutes later walked over to Neela. "Did the ER page me? My pager didn't go off." said Corday. "no, one of your patient's family is here. Their in the waiting room." said Neela. "Okay, which patient is it do you know?" asked Dr. Corday. "The Camden girl. The one that was in the car accident yesterday." replied Neela. Is it okay that I come with you when you talk to them? I'd like to be involved with this patient if that ok with you." asked Neela. "That's fine." replied Dr. Corday. It felt like they were waiting for hours for the doctors to come back when it was only 10 minutes. "Hello I'm Dr. Corday. I'm one of the doctors that operated on your daughter." said Dr. Corday. "Hello I'm Eric Camden and this is my wife Annie." replied Eric. "Please lets sit down." said Dr. Corday. "How bad is it?" asked Annie. "Well she was brought in with blunt force trauma when she was brought in. She also had some cuts and abrasions. We had to take out her spleen and there also has been damage to the spine and to her head." Dr. Corday told them.
Annie began to cry as she was hearing this. "What kind of condition is she in now? Is she awake?" asked Eric? "Right now she's in critical condition. She is stable though. But she is unconscious." said Dr. Corday. "So all we can do now is wait and pray." said Eric. As Neela went to take Eric and Annie to Ruthie Matt walked into the waiting room. Both Eric and Annie were surprised to see him. "Matt I'm so glad to see you." Annie said has she hugged him. "What are you doing here son?" asked Eric. "Lucy called me last night and told me what happened to Ruthie. How is she? How bad is it?" he asked.
As they were walking to Ruthie's room Eric and Annie filled Matt inon what happened and Ruthie's condition. As they were about to went the room a nurse came over to Dr. Corday and said "She's starting to wake up." As Ruthie started to wake up she thought she heard her parent's and Matt's voice. "What are mom dad and matt doing in my apartment? Am I dreaming?" she thought to herself. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around and saw her parents.
"Okay Ruthie there is a tube in your throat to help you breath. Do you think you can breath without it?" asked Dr. Corday. Ruthie slowly nodded yes. "Okay, take a deep breath in and then when I say so blow out. Do you understand?" asked Corday. Ruthie again nodded yes. "Okay blow out now" said Corday. As soon as the tube was taken out successfully Ruthie started to cough. She looked at her parents and asked "What happened?"
