Well here is chapter 8

Disclaimer: don't own any bones character just playing with for a while I will give back I promise :)

I warn you know I have no medical knowledge what so ever , but this is fiction so I will do my best.

I know the last chapter was better than previous ones I have written because that one was beta'd by a great friend penandra. So from there onwards they are still not beta'd, I am looking for a beta for the rest of the story so when I find one I will be going back to the start and getting in re-done with hopefuly a beta. So until then these chapters will be like the others.

So with that said on with the story.

Chapter 8 The Recovery Begins :

Outside booths cell:

The medics were know starting CPR on Booth to get him back , one of the other medics go on the walkie and requested a medivac chopper to get to there location asap. The medics finally got a pulse from Booth but was very weak and was breathing but it was very laboured.

When they got Booth stabilized they started to treat the other injury's. They first treated the gash on his head which look to be very infected so it was obvious he had sustained a head injury they just didn't know how bad till the got him back to the base and the hospital, so they wrapped his head in bandages , next was the burn marks all over his body the more extensive ones were on his back they were really bad. They also wrapped his legs and feet they to were very infected as well, so Booth was now on a back board and had various iv's in him and had a oxygen mask on and the medics were now waiting for the medicvac chopper to arrive.

A few minutes later

The chopper had landed at there location and the medics had now got Booth on a stretcher and were now walking him to were the chopper had landed, They were know landing area the captain and the general got in first so they could help load Booth in the chopper.

They chopper was now in the air and on it's way back to base camp the medics were keeping there eye on Booths stats to make sure he would not slip into a coma.

An hour later the chopper had landed back at base camp and the medics jumped out so that they could receive Booth on the ground when the medics got him they were know rushing him into the hospital trauma area followed closely by the captain Davis and general Johnson, when they got there they pushed the captain and the general out of the tent so they could start there work and start to clean Booths wounds and start the antibiotics to start beating the infection in his wounds.

They know started a thura investigation of his wounds, they were right about the head wound he had sustained a sever head wound after they took a x-ray of his head they found a crack in his skull, he also defiantly had two broken legs and his feet were severely damaged were they hit them with a solid object.

A few hours later Booth was now all cleaned up and hooked up to various machines to check his vitals and to track his progress, they also put Booth in a medically induced coma so he could deal with the pain and to help the healing process.

Outside the hospital tent:

The general and the captain decided to go and see Hank when they got to his tent they went in and found out that Hank was still asleep due to the medication he was on.

Captain Davis decided to wake up Hank.

"Hank can you hear me"asked the captain.

Hank started to ster in his sleep then he woke up and looked directly at captain Davis

"captain what are you doing here" asked Hank.

"We got him Hank , we got our boy back" replied the captain

"How bad is he", "it's doesn't look good , I will be surprised if he makes it this time, don't underestimate him sir he has the cast iron will ten men and is stubborn as a ox he will make it through this . Replied Hank.

A few moments later the doctors and nurses wheeled Booth bed into position next to Hank.

Hank looked directly at the doctor and called him over.

"hey doc how's our boy doing, well I won't lie to you Hank he is in bad shape, he has a sever head wound , both legs and feet are severely broken , he has several broken ribs and a collapsed lung we have patched him up as best as we can with the limited equipment we have here , we have put him on a respirator to help with he breathing he has other issues as well he is on antibiotics for the infections and transfusions for the amount of blood he lost. So as you can see he has quit a battle ahead of him when he is stable enough you and Booth will be airlifted to a proper military hospital".

With all that said the doctors and the nurses left the tent so Booth can start the healing process and get thru his ordeal.

When the doctors left, Hank looked over at Booth on the bed next to his.

"my god Booth what have they done to you"

Hank could just about reach Booths hand that was lying on the bed, so he grabbed onto it and said,

"we'll get you through this Booth no matter how long it takes, your the only real friend I ever had and I am not going to give up on you, so don't give up on yourself o.k."

With that said Hank let go of Booths hand, Just then the nurse came into the tent to check Booths vitals for the day and hank was watching what she was doing.

"so nurse how's our boy doing " he asked .

"well hank he seems to be stabilizing know his heartbeat is back to a normal rhythm and his oxygen stats are getting better , I will be reducing his pain meds so he should be waking up in a couple of days"replied the nurse.

With all that info taken in Hank looked over at Booth again and prayed he would get thru this. Hank was now exhausted and so he decided to go back to sleep.

A couple of days later:

It was now morning and everyone was now awake including Hank, but Booth was still out, just then Hank heard some mumbling noises coming from Booth ,Booth's machines started to make noises, alarms where going off everywhere, the nurses and doctors were rushing in to see what was going on, Booth was now awake and trying to pull his ventilator tube out of his throat , so one of the nurses tried to grab his arms to stop him from pulling it out, when they stopped him he was fully aware and trying to get up but the doctors held him down that was when he started to panic again so the doctor told the nurse to go get a sedative to calm Booth down so they could talk to him.

When Booth was fully awake and calm the doctor and remaining nurse now had the equipment at hand to help remove Booths ventilator from his throat.

"right mst sgt Booth I want you to do a very hard cough and we will be able get this tube out of you throat."

So Booth gave the hardest cough he could and the doctor pulled the tube out which started a fresh bout of coughing and considerable pain as well.

When that was done the nurse handed Booth a cup of ice chips so he could relive his dry throat.

Booth was now more coherent now so the doctor started to ask Booth some questions.

"so Booth how do you feel" asked the doctor .

"like my head is about to exploded I have some one scraping the inside of my lungs with a pitch fork and ache's and pain's everywhere." replied Booth

"well Booth you certainly have a very long list of injury's this is what we found so far"

" you had a collapsed lung and a punchcered lung that have been repaired that is why you feel like your lungs have been scraped with a pitch fork, you also a sever head wound , but the most damage you have is to your legs and feet , your legs have were broken below the knee and were open fractures that got infected and are now repaired as best as we could here, your feet were in the similar state and were also patched up as best as we could."

" you and Hank will soon be airlifted to a proper military hospital in Washington DC, the reason we are sending you there is because they have the facility you will need to recover better, so mst sgt Booth get rest while you can, I will send the nurse in to check on you again later."

With all that said the doctor left the tent and left Booth to his thoughts.

It was now time for Hank to speak to Booth, so Hank pulled himself up to a sitting position in his bed and started the conversation.

"hey Booth am I glad you are alright, when you came back nobody had any hopes for you, but I knew better you are as stubborn as a ox, I new they would not break you,"

" you don't know how close they came Hank I was nearly ready to give up and die I had no hope left"

" Thank god you didn't Booth I don't know how I would go on if I lost my best friend."
