"I'm Dr. Romano. I operated on your son. What we did was look around the heart. We removed a portion of the over grown heart muscle. He should make a complete recovery." Romano informed them.
"What about basket ball." Nathan asked.
"That's up to him. He won't be able to play for the next two-three months but after that, he should be able to start again. He will need to be out of school for the next month or so. He needs to take it easy. After a week, he should be able to start moving around. An exercise specialist will be coming to see you. You can go in and see him." Romano said as he led them into Lucas's room.
"He should be waking up anytime. If you need anything, press this button and a nurse will come." Romano said as he left.
"Wake up Luke. It's fine." Nathan said. Lucas slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey. How're doing?" Andy asked.
"Can I play basketball?" Lucas asked.
"Lucas, you just had heart surgery. You won't be playing for the next 3 months. I will be making sure of that." Karen said.
"As long as we wing the championship, I'll be fine." Lucas said.
"I'll make sure we win." Nathan said with a laugh. Carter came in.
"I see the basketball lover is awake." Carter said with a smile.
"He won't be a star player for the next 3 months." Andy said.
"I've got Nathan's test results here. I wanted to let you know myself." Carter said. They nodded.
"Nathan does not have HCM. He's not a carrier either." Carter informed them.
"But I am?" Lucas asked.
"You've got HCM but you're not a carrier. Keep up with your basketball games and you'll be up and playing in no time." Carter said as he left.
Sorry this chapter's so short. I'll make up for it in the next chapter.
