You are all amazing and I'm so thankful that so many people like this story. It means the world to me. Xx
One minute everything is okay and Burt is sitting next to Kurt gently holding his hand and gently stroking his boy's forehead. His words is as soft as they where when Kurt was only a baby and Burt fed him or hushed him to sleep. Only now, Kurt is already asleep and Burt tries to wake him up. His son just keeps sleeping though and even though the doctors have said that it will probably take a few days before Kurt is ready, it is devastating to see his son like this. So far away from the normal Kurt who could talk non stop during dinner if no one stopped him. He is so deep into his own thoughts he barely hears the wheezing sounds coming from Kurt but when he finally does the beeping from one of the machines near Kurt's bed has become more frantic and a nurse walks into the room followed by the doctor from earlier. They hurriedly approach Kurt's bed and after only one quick look they drag Burt away from the bed, talking about trouble breathing, fever and chest infections.
"Oh god, oh god, Kurt, buddy?"
Burt tries to get near to the bed again but the doctor is blocking the way.
"I'm sorry sir but you have to leave"
"What's going on? What is wrong with him? You said he was okay. What is wrong with him?" Burt words are panicking and his heart is raising in his chest..
He frantically watches as they removes the oxygen thing under Kurt's nose and replaces it with an oxygen mask.
"I'm sorry but you really need to leave. I think Kurt has developed an infection in his lungs but we have to get a x-ray to know. Someone will get you as soon as he is ready again."
The nurse gently leads him out of the room while the doctor continues working on Kurt.
"If it is a chest infection it's not good news but we need to help him so you need to go and wait by the waiting room. I will come and talk to you as soon as I can. Okay?"
Burt slowly nods.
"Marie I need some help in here. He is struggling to breathe and I might need to intubate. His stats are dropping. Now Marie!"
"Oh god, Kurt. Hang on, baby"
Half an hour a later a doctor finds them sitting in the waiting room. Blaine staring into the wall in front of him with empty eyes and Finn answering a couple of texts from their friends. Carole his gently patting Burts back. As soon as the doctors comes into view Burt stumbles to his feet and almost runs to him. The others follow and Carole puts her arms around Blaine's shoulders.
"Is he okay?" She asks.
The doctor hesitates at first but starts talking with a calm voice.
"As we suspected Kurt has developed pneumonia. It's a very serious condition but unfortunately it happens sometimes with people like Kurt, who has sustained injuries to the lung. He has a pretty high fever and we have put him on strong antibiotics. Hopefully he will answer to treatmeant within the next few hours."
"And if he don't?" Blaine asks not really wanting to know the answer as it feels he already knows the answer.
The doctor sighs.
"Then we will have to change the antibiotics to something else. Hopefully though he will be much better in a couple of hours or so. I have to tell you though that this is really serious ad Kurt was already in a serious condition and adding the pneumonia makes him even more vulnerable. We have put him on a ventilator. Even though we preferred not too his lungs needs a break if we want him to heal and we think it might be good for his body too. We are moving him to the ICU where he will stay until the infection clears."
Everyone goes silent for a while. Millions of thoughts runs in their heads.
"I'm gonna be sick..." Blaine mumbles and puts a hand over his mouth and stumbles towards the nearest trash can where he leans over and heaves violently. Finn immediately looks away, not wanting to be sick himself but a nurse standing a few feet away, sits down beside Blaine and hands him a paper towel when he is done.
"It's okay sweetie" she whispers "It happens all the time"
"I'm sorry..." Blaine says and looks up to Burt and Carole who are watching him worriedly.
"No honey it's okay. We now you are worried about Kurt. If you like you can go with Burt to see him for a couple of minutes. Then I'm afraid we have to leave. But me and Finn will go find the car and you can meet us outside okay?"
"Thanks" Is all Blaine manages to say as he stands up from his position on the floor and wipes his moth with the back of his sleeve.
The taste of bile in his mouth makes him feel even more sick but there is more important things right now. Burt grabs hold of him and Blaine thankfully nods.
The doctor takes the lead and guides them one stair up. The ICU is worse than the rest of the hospital and in their everything smells even more sick, the walls are even more white and the doctors even more depressed. Before they get to see Kurt they even have to put on gowns, masks and gloves. Burt heals Blaine button the gown on the back and Blaine does the same for Burt. Then they finally gets to see Kurt.
Burt enters first and Blaine hears him sob slightly at the sight of his son. Blaine takes a deep breathe before taking a step into the room. He is not prepared on what I waiting for him but the sight of Kurt makes him wanting to throw up again.
God I'm struggling so hard right now with my writing and I don't get anywhere. Well that's what it feels like anyway! Hope you find it ok anyway. xx please review!
