Thank you for all the positive reviews. Here is the next chapter.
Four hours later Henry was still sat in the uncomfortable chair. Part of him was relieved he has sent the kids home. The rest of him however was filled with worry. He had held onto the fact that no news was good news but know it was starting to panic him. The only likely reason Henry could think was that his wife was either dead or dying.
As Henry was starting to get angry Elizabeth's doctor finally came out to speak to him, "Dr McCord?" the doctor asked. When the doctor saw Henry he began to explain what was wrong with his wife. "Your wife is out of surgery now but she is still in a critical condition." The doctor paused for a moment. "We were able to stop the internal bleeding and re-inflate your wife's collapsed lung however, we are worried about the swelling on her brain which is a result of her hitting the ground as the car tipped." Henry was shocked he couldn't help but think that it could have been one of his children in there with Elizabeth. "Your wife also has a dislocated shoulder and two broken ribs." The doctor again paused for a moment. "As a result of her head injury she has slipped into a coma and I am not sure if and when she will wake up; we will keep her in the ICU until she is stable but you can see her." Henry quickly followed the doctor to Elizabeth.
Henry was shocked when he saw his beautiful, fearless wife lying motionless on a hospital bed. He could see she was hooked up to a ventilator and other machines monitoring her vital signs. He could also see her arm was in a sling and a bandage on the cut on her forehead. However, what worried Henry the most was that he couldn't see his wife's blue eyes.
Walking over to the bed Henry sat down and took her hand in his. He knew it would be a long road and that when Elizabeth woke up she would need her family's support. Henry also knew that he would be there for her every step of the way.
I know it's a short chapter but I wanted to focus on how Henry was feeling and what sort of injuries Elizabeth had.
