Katie climbed up to the top of the monkey bars when she lost her footing.
Ahhhhh was all Sean heard as he saw her fall. He noticed that there was a large rock in the path of Katie's fall. Without thinking he transfigured the rock into a pillow. So when Katie landed her head did not hit the rock.
Sean ran over to Katie to see if she was ok. Oh Katie don't move said Sean. Katie was crying. I fell she said through her tears. I know said Sean but don't move. He bent over her and asked her where she hurt. My back hurts a lot she said. Ok how about your neck he asked? No, where did the pillow come from she asked? That was me you were going to fall on a rock so that was all I could think of he said.
Katie just lay there and I will pick you up and take you home to your mommy said Sean. He straddled Katie's hips and reached down to immobilize her neck and helped her to sit up. Put your chin on my shoulder he said. When she did he asked that she put her legs around his waist. Once that was done he got up off the ground. Now do not move your head he told her sternly. I want your mom to see you before you move your neck at all. Alright said Katie but I hurt she said as the tears started again. I know sweetie but we will be home in a few minutes ok he said. Ok said Katie.
As they were walking back to Katie's house Sean was nearly in tears. Every time she is with me she gets hurt he was thinking. Maybe I should just go home so she doesn't get hurt again. No that would just upset Katie if I went home he was thinking. Before he knew it they were back at Katie's house.
Sean knocked on the door as he did not have any keys and also he didn't want to put Katie down. What is going on said Mrs. Robinson when she answered the door? Katie fell off the monkey bars onto her back and I just wanted to get her home so that you could look at her he said with tears in his eyes. I am soo sorry he said. Mrs Robinson saw how upset Sean was that Katie had been hurt and she was very touched. He really does care about Katie she thought.
I made sure that she did not move her neck and I brought her home as soon as I could. Oh ok come in Sean said Mrs. Robinson. Katie where do you hurt she asked? I hurt all over she said but it is my back that hurts the most. Sean made a rock into a pillow so that I wouldn't hit my head on it she said. Isn't that good of him she said. You did questioned Mrs. Robinson? I didn't know that you would have learned that yet she said.
Oh no said Sean. I am going to be in big trouble. I used magic outside of school. The ministry is going to punish me for that he said. Don't worry said Mrs. Robinson. I will take care of that. You used magic to save Katie so they can't punish you for that. Oh I don't know said Sean. Don't worry I will talk to Mr. Robinson and see what we need to do. He works with the Canadian Ministry so he will know what to do. Oh ok said Sean.
Now Katie how did this happen asked her mother? I was climbing up to the top of the monkey bars when I fell. Oh ok well tell me does your neck hurt she asked? No not really said Katie. Ok. Well let me see you move your toes. Katie wiggled her toes. That is good said her mother. Now slowly move your head to the side. Katie moved her head towards Sean. Does that hurt at all asked Mrs. Robinson? No said Katie. Good that is really good. now bend your head down really slowly. Katie did as her mother asked. Did that hurt at all she was asked? No mommy that didn't hurt. Oh that is really good said Mrs. Robinson.
Mommy it is my back that really hurts can you look at that asked Katie? Of course said her mother. when she raised Katie's top she found that there was a lot of bruising. Oh that must really hurt she said. It does said Katie. Sweetie I think we need to take you to the hospital to get some x-rays to make sure you didn't break anything. Really said Katie?? Yes love really here I will carry you she said putting out her arms for Katie to move into. No it is ok I will carry her said Sean. It is my fault that she fell so I should carry her.
Sean it is not your fault that she fell it was an accident said Mrs. Robinson. Well it seems she has a lot of accidents when I am around said Sean very upset. Sean I am falling down all the time. Well not as much as I did when I was little but I still fall sometimes. It was not your fault. You were the one that told me to come down. If I had come down when you asked I may not have fallen so it was my fault that I fell said Katie. Please don't blame yourself.
Sean carried Katie out to her mother's car and placed her very gently onto the back seat of the car. I am so sorry he said to her when she winced with the pain. I know said Katie it will be ok mommy will take care of everything. Sean you always take such good care of me. You got me home to mommy that couldn't have been easy as I am heavy she said. No you are not heavy. It was my fault I should have caught you or something he said.
Will you two stop blaming yourselves it was an accident. Sean you did a very good job getting Katie home and you remembered to immobilize her neck so that if there was an injury it would be small. I am very proud that you thought of that she said. So please get in the car and we will get Katie to the hospital.
Sean got into the car and they made their way to the hospital. Oh Sean you will be able to see the hospital that mommy works at and where I was born. Said Katie as they pulled into the emergency room parking.
Here Sean I will carry in Katie said her mother. No it is ok I can do it he said. Sean leaned into the car and had Katie wrap her arms around his neck and around his waist. Here we go he said.
They walked in the door. Here take this and give it to the lady at the registration desk. I have to find out who is on call today said her mother.
How may I help you asked the registration clerk. Oh well Katie here fell and hurt herself said Sean. Katie do you have your health card the clerk asked? Oh here it is said Sean as he handed over the health card to the clerk. Ok well we need your birth date Katie. Oh her birthday is September 9 1982 said Sean. I was born here said Katie. Really said the clerk smiling. And your address? Sean gave Katie's address. Oh are you her brother she asked? No he is my best friend said Katie. Oh well who brought you here asked the clerk? Dr Robinson said Sean. Dr Robinson?? Yes Dr Robinson is Katie's mother said Sean. Oh really ok so I will put her down as next of kin. Do you happen to know her first initial Sean was asked? Yes her first name is Rebecca said Sean. Thank you that is a real help. So you said that Katie fell where and from what did she fall? Katie fell at the play park over near the school that has the pool. Oh I know where that is said the clerk. And she fell off the monkey bars onto her back. Ohh that must have hurt she said. It did said Katie. When did this happen? I would say about a half hour ago said Sean. Ok that is very helpful thank you said the clerk.
Just after they had finished registering Mrs. Robinson came out to find them. Where there any problems she asked? No everything went fine said Sean. I am not sure if you have to sign anything he said. Thank you very much for taking care of that she said. I spoke with the on call doctor and he has ordered some x-rays so we can just go right over there to get the x-rays done said Mrs. Robinson.
Mrs Robinson why didn't you just heal Katie's injuries asked Sean? Well it is not my speciality and with a back injury I want to be sure that there is no nerve damage said Mrs. Robinson. Oh okay said Sean.
Where do we go now asked Sean? Just over here said Mrs. Robinson. They walked into the X-ray department and Mrs. Robinson went up to the desk to give them the form for the x-rays. It should only be a few minutes said Mrs. Robinson when she came to sit with Sean and Katie. Are you sure that you don't want me to hold onto Katie, she must be getting heavy by now said Mrs. Robinson. No it is ok Katie is not that heavy and as we are sitting it is even better responded Sean. We must look really funny said Katie. Here I am clinging onto Sean. Do you want to sit in a chair asked Sean? No I like this said Katie. I get to give you big hugs and no one questions it said Katie smiling. Oh so that is why you let me carry you said Sean. Yes said Katie proudly.
A few minutes later a lady came out and called Katie's name. Here we are called out Katie. Sean got up and carried Katie over to the lady. You are Katie Robinson she asked? Yes I am said Katie. Oh okay come this way. Sean and Katie followed the lady into a room with a very big machine in it. You can just put her down over there she said to Sean. Sean put Katie down on the bed like table. There you go said Sean I will wait for you outside. You can wait in here with me if you want said the lady. That would be great said Sean. I have never seen some one have what are they called? X-rays said Katie. Yeah x-rays, thanks.
The lady positioned Katie on the table. Does that hurt she asked? Yes it does ok said the lady. I just have to put on your lead apron. What is that for asked Katie? It is to protect your girl parts responded the lady. Oh that is heavy said Katie. I know I will be really quick.
Come this way she said to Sean as she led him behind a shield. Hold really still Katie. Ok said Katie. She took the x-rays and went back out to Katie. I need one more she said. She repositioned Katie on the table and this time she was on her back and it really hurt. I am soo sorry I will be as quick as I can she said. She went back to the shield and took the last x-ray. There you go all done she said as she handed Katie a tissue to wipe up her tears.
Sean went up to Katie and picked her up. There you go sweetie he said it is all over. I know but it really hurt. I know and you were very brave said Sean. Let's go. They made their way out to the waiting room. By the time that they got there Katie was better and decided that it was an adventure. They had me laying on a big table when they took this big camera and took pictures of my back said Katie to her mother. Did it hurt she asked? Well it did when I had to lay flat on my back but not for very long as she took the picture really fast. They put an apron on me made of lead. It was really heavy she said. Oh and they let Sean come in with me; I guess they didn't want me to be scared. I wasn't scared though. I know because you are very brave aren't you said her mother. Yes I am said Katie.
Are you hungry asked Mrs. Robinson? I am said Katie. Would It be ok if I stop off up stairs for a few moments to check on a few patients asked her mother? Sure then we can show Sean where you work said Katie. Alright we had better get you a wheelchair because Sean can not be expected to carry you all over the hospital said Mrs. Robinson. They found a wheelchair and off they went.
They took an elevator up to the second floor and walked towards the nursing desk. You two wait here for me I should only be a couple of minutes said Mrs. Robinson. Alright said Katie I will just introduce Sean to everyone she said. She introduced Sean to all the nurses there. You know all of these people he said to her? Yes I have been coming here for years. I even had a little doctor's coat when I was little. My mommy had given me a toy stethoscope for Christmas so I wore that with it. It was really cute it said Dr Robinson Jr. on the pocket. I used to keep it here I wonder if it is still here let me look.
Katie wheeled towards the staff room. It would be in here if so. They went in to the staff room and met up with some more nurses. Katie what are you doing here they asked? I am with mommy she came to see some patients as we were already here because of me. Why they asked? I fell and hurt my back. Oh that is too bad does it hurt a lot they asked? No not too much. Oh by the way this is Sean. The Sean they asked? Yes the Sean. The Sean asked Sean? Well I told them all about you she said. Yes he is very handsome said one of the nurses. Sean just blushed.
Katie looked around the room. Do you know if my doctor's coat is still here she asked? I think I saw it a couple of weeks ago said one of the nurses. She got up and looked around and pulled it out of a closet. Here it is she said showing Katie the coat. There you go said Katie. Is that not the cutest. Yes sweetie that is really cute. Sweetie whispered the nurses. Katie looked at them and blushed. Do you think it would be ok if I took this asked Katie to the nurses. I don't see why not it is yours. Thanks said Katie. We had better be going it was great to see you said Katie. We will see you soon won't we they asked? Probably she said. I will be going away to school next year said Katie. Really where they asked? Scotland said Katie. It is a special school; Sean goes to the same school. Oh that is so far away I guess your mom will miss you when you go? I guess she will said Katie.
Just then Mrs. Robinson came along. Are you ready to go she asked? Yes mommy I am ready. Look at what we found she said as she showed her mother the little doctor's coat. I can't believe that I was ever that small. I can said Sean. You were that small when we met he said. Katie thought about it for a moment. I guess I was she said. I have grown a lot since then. Yes you have said her mother. If you continue you will be taller than me in no time.
Where do you want to eat asked Mrs. Robinson? We could eat in the cafeteria said Katie depending on what is on the menu. I hope they have macaroni and cheese. What if they don't asked her mother? Well we could go and pick something up and take it home said Katie? Let's first see what they have in the cafeteria said Katie. Alright said her mother. They went down in the elevator. On the trip Katie looked at Sean. What is the matter she asked? Nothing said Sean. No you looked really scared she said. Well I have never been in an elevator said Sean and I really don't like it. I feel as if I am going to fall. That is funny because you don't have a problem flying on a broomstick said Katie. I would think that it would be more scary flying than riding on an elevator. Here I will hold your hand she said. Sean just smiled. It is ok but thank you for the thought he said.
They went into the cafeteria and found that they were serving macaroni and cheese. Yeah said Katie!!!! You will just love this she said to Sean. They have the best macaroni and cheese that I have ever tasted. They use the best cheese, and they use a lot of it. Ok said Sean I will try it. Alright said Mrs. Robinson you two order your lunch and I will be right back. They ordered and waited to be served. Here Sean I will hold the tray while you push me said Katie. Alright said Sean.
We need to get some dessert what do you think of red Jell-O said Katie? What is Jell-O asked Sean? You don't know about Jell-O!!! Well it is a wonderful dessert. I like the red Jell-O the best. You have got to try it. I am sure that when you try it you will love it. Here get the one with the whipped cream on top that is the best said Katie very excitedly.
Next we need drinks what do you want for a drink asked Katie? Oh I don't know I will have what ever you are having he said. Alright said Katie as she reached for two cans of pop. There we are done now we just need to find mommy. Why asked Sean? Well because she is paying that is why said Katie smiling. I can pay for our lunch said Sean. No it is ok said a voice from behind them. It was Katie's mother. Just come with me and I will take care of everything she said. They followed her and when they got to the cash she gave her id and they charged her account.
They sat and ate their lunch. When they were finished Mrs. Robinson took them back up to the emergency entrance and they got into the car. We need to stop at the pharmacy to get your medication. I will also give you a potion that will help make you feel better much faster than with just the medication.
They stopped at the pharmacy and then headed home.
