Taking care of his daughter, gave a distraction to Egon not to worry for a brief time, as he changed Lila and was feeding her a bottle, when Jeanie woke up.
"Hey good morning," she said, getting out of bed.
"Morning," said Egon, looking up at her.
After they kissed each other, Jeanie kissed Lila's forehead and said, "Good morning sweetheart.
I see you woke Daddy up."
"Actually, I never went back to sleep after Ray, Winston, and I came back from the hospital, and neither did they," said Egon, who then placed a cloth on his shoulder and softly padded Lila's back for her to burp.
"What time did you guys come back?"
"Around 4:30 am.
"What's the news about Peter?"
Egon let out a sigh as he gingerly wiped Lila's face after she burped and answered, "He's gone into organ failure from swallowing some liquid chemicals on the job yesterday and he needs to have a double kidney transplant."
"Oh my god! gasped Jeanie, How's Dana holding up?"
"She's very distraut by what's going on.
Ray, Winston and I are going back to the hospital to check to see if any of us are suited for donating one of our kidneys to Peter."
"Egon, what you and the guys are doing is the most generous, heartfelt thing anyone has ever done."
"Jeanie, I know Venkman and I don't see eye to eye most of the time, but before you and Lila, he and Ray were the only family I had.
"I'll come with you and the guys for support.
Plus I can keep Dana company as well."
"She's planning on getting tested as well."
"I'll get Lila ready."
While Jeanie got Lila's diaper bag set, Egon found Ray and Winston, who had fallen asleep on the couch with the TV on.
"Gentlemen," he called to them.
Ray and Winston woke up at the sound at Egon's voice.
"I'm awake," said a sleepy Ray.
"What time is it?" asked Winston.
"A quarter to 7am," Egon answered as he looked at his watch.
"Man, we must had dozed off on the couch."
"We have to get ready to head back to the hospital," said Ray.
"Jeanie and Lila are coming with us if that's OK," said Egon.
"That's fine," said Winston.
Ray, Winston and Egon quickly cleaned themselves up, changed their clothes and headed to the hospital with Jeanie and Lila going along.
When the five arrived at the hospital, Ray, Egon and Winston checked in for their lab work appointments.
As they waited, the three ghostbusters, Jeanie and Lila were approached by Dana's parents, who had the twins and Oscar in tow.
"Ghostbusters, it's great to see you again," said Alice.
"We can't thank you enough for being here for Dana and Peter," Ward added.
"He's our family and so is Dana," said Ray.
"Papa's sick," said Oscar.
"Don't worry buddy, he's going to get better," said Winston, who knelt down to the toddler's height.
"Is Dana with Peter?" asked Jeanie.
"She will be soon," Ward answered.
"Right now, she's having lab work done to see if she can give her kidney to Peter," Alice added.
Just then, Dana appeared.
Her eyes were puffy from all the crying she has been doing and her one shirt sleeve was rolled up to reveal a bandage from where she had blood work done.
"Hi everyone, she said.
"Morning Dana.
How are you holding up?" asked Jeanie, who got up to give Dana a hug.
Dana hugged Jeanie back and answered, "Trying to stay as sane as I can for the sake of Peter and the kids.
"Sorry I couldn't be here last night, but we couldn't get a sitter for Lila."
"That's OK, I understand, and thank you for coming today."
Just then, a nurse appeared.
"Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddmore.
Please follow me," she said.
The three ghostbusters left and headed for the lab.
While they waited for the guys to return, Dana and Jeanie chatted.
To keep Dana from getting upset about Peter's situation, the subject was about the kids.
When Dana excused herself to use the restroom, Jeanie made a quick call to Grace and Jenny to let them know what was going on.
Jenny would meet them at the hospital this afternoon, as would Grace after she picks up her niece and nephew from school, since they had a half day.
Dana returned to Jeanie, her parents and the kids, as the three ghostbusters did at the same time.
Like Dana, they each had a sleeve rolled up with a bandage on their arms from where they had blood taken.
"How did it go?" Jeanie asked.
"Not bad," Winston answered.
"We should get the results in about another hour or so," Egon added.
"We actually met Dr. Katzenberg in the hallway and told him what happened.
He's going to check on Peter now, as well as get all our test results," said Ray, reffering to the doctor who treated the ghostbusters on numerous occasions for illnesses and injuries.
"I also called Grace and Jenny, they're coming by this afternoon," said Jeanie.
A few moments later, the same nurse appeared telling everyone they could visit Peter.
When Dana asked of how Peter's condition was, the nurse looked over at a chart, and told her that Peter's kidney function was the same as it was a few hours ago, which was not at all good news to the three ghostbusters as they learned that the numbers had decreased since they left the hospital.
Jeanie told Egon to go ahead with Dana, Winston and Ray, and she would give Ward and Alice a hand keeping an eye on the babies.
Meanwhile, as the three ghostbusters and Dana headed for Peter's room, they all hoped to have those test results of theirs, in hope of getting a miracle.
