"Well, before I tell you, I wanted to ask if you all know he was shot three times?"
Everyone was shocked. Three times? How could Grissom still be alive after getting shot three times?
Sara felt like someone had hit her in the stomach. She felt like she was going to get sick. She started to shake, but managed to ask Dr. Andrews, "So, where was he shot? And will he be ok?"
Dr. Andrews looked at Sara and said,"The first bullet went in at his right hip. That didn't do much damage. It just caused a hairline fracture. Which with some physical therapy, should be fine.The second bullet went in under his right collar bone. All that did was tear the muscles and tissue. Again, with some physical therapy, that should be fine. The third bullet was the worst one. It went into the right side of his head. It got stuck in his skull. Luckily for Mr. Grissom, the shooter must have been at a distance when he shot him. Or else the bullet would have punctured the brain. Now, we were able to remove the bullet and everything seems fine. But I have to tell you, he slipped into a coma. It shouldn't last very long because all his vitals are fine. His body just needs rest right now." Dr. Andrews paused to let all he had said sink in. He waited for anymore questions.
Catherine was worried about Grissom being in a coma. When he woke up, would he be the same? Or would he be different? Would he remember what had happened? She was too afraid to ask.
Warrick thought that this was good news. Grissom is alive, and the doctors believe that he will wake up. That had to be good.
Greg was still shocked that Grissom had been shot three times and was still alive. Albeit in a coma, but still, he was alive.
Brass didn't know weather to be happy that Gil was alive, or worried because he was in a coma. He just hopes that Gill comes out of this alright.
Nick looked at Sara and noticed how pale she was. He went over to her and put his arm around her. "At least he's still alive. I told you Grissom was tough."
Sara looked at Nick. She looked scared, but hopeful. "Thanks Nick. I needed to hear that."
"Anytime Sar. Anytime." said Nick with a smile.
Then Sara looked at Dr. Andrews. "Will there be anything wrong with him after he wakes up?" she asked. She was afraid that even if he does wake up, he wont be the same Grissom she loves.
Dr. Andrews looked at Sara again. "Well, with all head injuries, there is always a chance that he may have temporary memory lose. If that should happen, no one should tell him what happened. He must remember on his own. It could be potentially harmful to tell him something he doesn't remember. It is rare, but there have been cases were a person can forget up to a year before the accident." he said. He knew this was troublesome news. He just hoped that thing worked out for these people.
Nick looked at everyone, then he looked back at Dr. Andrews. "Will there be anything else wrong?"
Dr. Andrews looked at Nick, "Well, aside from the physical therapy, and the possible, temporary memory lose, I don't foresee any other problems."
Sara couldn't take it anymore. She had to see Grissom for herself, to know that he was still alive. "When can we see him?"
Dr. Andrews looked at her and said, "You can see him now. But only two at a time. He's in room 204." Then Dr. Andrews left the waiting room.
Everyone was quit for a couple of minutes. No one knew what to say. They were all worried that Grissom may wake up and not remember what had happened. How would they explain that he'd been shot? And that he could have died?
What worried Sara the most, was that he might not remember about the baby. And if she wasn't supposed to tell him, how was she going to explain why she gets sick every morning? And when she starts to show, what will she tell him then? Her head was starting to hurt from all the questions going through it.
Catherine looked at Sara and said, "Sara, why don't you go in first."
Sara looked at Catherine with gratitude. "Thanks Cath."
"No problem. I know you must be anxious to see him. To see for yourself he's ok." She smiled sadly at Sara.
Sara just smiled back at Catherine and walked out of the room.
