NEEE NAWWW NEE NAWWW
When Izzie and Taylor arrived at the hospital in the ambulance the first person Izzie saw was Hayley who was standing at the door waiting for them.
"Taylor Jones, 31, severe alcohol poisoning, he got 3 of Epi in the field and has a very low erratic sinus rhythm."The paramedic explained as they took Taylor's gurney out of the ambulance and took him inside.
When they got inside they took Taylor into the trauma room and about 20 doctors and nurses all rushed in past Izzie and Hayley.
" Izzie you should wait out here until we get him stabilised."Hayley explained to Izzie who was in floods of tears.
"Okay but please, please help him!"Izzie sobbed.
"Hey, you know I will! Don't forget, I love Taylor as much as you do!" Hayley told Izzie trying to reassure her.
"Okay" Izzie said to Hayley who was rushing into the trauma room to Taylor's bedside.
Izzie waited in the lobby for almost 2 hours and she was crying even harder than when Taylor was first brought in when Hayley finally emerged from the trauma room with news on Taylor.
"How is he? Is he okay? He has to be okay doesn't he there's no way he's not ..."Hayley interrupted Izzie's concerned rambling with some not so good news.
"Izzie, he's stable, for now but he has major damage to his liver resulting from years of alcohol abuse, and this has just pushed him over the edge. We've put him in an induced coma to control the damage to his liver and we can't wake him up until we figure out how to help him."Hayley explained to Izzie who was in hysterics crying and trying to breathe normally.
"Can I go in and see him?" Izzie asked starting to calm down a little.
"Absolutely, but I have to warn you, he's on a lot of drips and machines so don't expect him to look normal, and I'm coming in with you. Believe me you don't want to go in there alone."Hayley explained to Izzie who had now stopped crying but still wasn't breathing normally.
"Okay, you ready?"Hayley asked, rubbing Izzie's back trying to calm her down.
"Yeah, I'm ready."Izzie said as she took Hayley's hand for support.
Izzie and Hayley slowly walked towards Taylor's room. He had now been moved from the trauma room to a private room down the corridor.
When they reached the door, Hayley told Izzie to brace herself, and when they were both ready, they walked into his room.
Izzie immediately started crying again and Hayley started too, they both walked over to his bed and sat down beside him.
"It's hard to believe that a few hours ago I was shouting at him for leaving the shower on. I mean to go from there to here in less than a day is just, unimaginable!" Hayley was now starting to cry even harder as she spoke but Izzie was unable to even respond.
"Dr. McIntosh, we've got his test results."Hayley walked up to Izzie gave her a hug of support and walked outside with the nurse.
While Hayley was outside Izzie started talking to Taylor."Why the hell did I tell you to go to sleep? God, I'm such an idiot! None of this would've ever happened if I hadn't told you about Mike, and it might not even matter! I blew him off so he's hardly gonna propose now! God, to think that I've put you in this state for nothing ..."While Izzie was talking to Taylor, Hayley walked into the room.
"Izzie, we need to talk ..." Hayley said looking very worried.
"What's going on?"Izzie asked Hayley who was still sobbing.
"Iz, you have to understand that his liver is in worse shape than we thought. The MRI showed us that if he doesn't get a transplant within the next 48 hours or so, the chances are that he'll die."Hayley explained, regretting that she had agreed to tell Izzie what was going on.
Izzie was crying worse than ever now and Hayley had joined in too. Neither of them said anything for the next few minutes they just sat on the floor outside Taylor's room crying and hugging each other.
"Izzie, I know this isn't what you want to focus on right now but I need to ask you if you'll consider donating part of your liver to Taylor."Hayley asked Izzie who stopped crying and stared at Hayley in shock.
"What? Are you serious?"Izzie asked, not fully aware of what would happen if she didn't agree to help.
"Look I know it sounds completely crazy, but we would take a part, not all but a part,of your liver, put it in Taylor and then he'd be on the road to recovery and you'd be fine! The good thing is that the liver can regenerate itself so yours would be back to normal size in a few months."Hayley explained to Izzie who was still crying but tried her best to stop and consider what Hayley was asking her.
"Well...I guess if it'll help Taylor...then yeah!"Izziw said to Hayley who hugged her tightly in support.
"Iz, that is brilliant! I'm so proud of you for agreeing to this! And I know that Taylor's gonna absolutely LOVE you for this!"Hayley said, trying to cheer Izzie up.
"Yeah, you're right! He's really gonna owe me big time for this!"Izzie said laughing.
She and Hayley just sat with Taylor for a while, both thinking about the massive things that were going on, and how strange the day had turned out to be.
