Chapter 11: Derek's emergency
This morning as I was preparing for work and Derek woke up sicker than a dog. "Derek I don't think you should go to work today"explained Meredith. "I'll be fine but is the room is spinning fast what's going on" said Derek. Before I knew it Derek fell on to the floor. I tried to get him to respond to me but I got nothing as I went to call 911 I heard Zola talking to someone. "Zo who are you talking to" asked Meredith. "Mommy its 911 daddy needs help" explained the smart little girl. I quickly got Bailey, Lexie, and Ellis up and dressed so I could go to the hospital. The ambulance showed up and quickly took Derek into the ambulance.
The Hospital ride to the hospital was scary until Bailey begin to make a conversation. " Momma why baby sissy's sit different from me and Zo" asked Bailey. "Well Bails you and Zola are big kids and have a a big kid seat" explained a nervous Meredith. Bailey normally sat next to Zola but when Derek bought a new car the children got switched and Bailey now sits with Ellis instead of Zola and Zola next to Lexie instead of Bailey. Some of the things that Bailey say can be funny and relaxing especially in a emergency situation. By the time I got to the hospital Alex was waiting for Me as Zola called him in the car. He was going to take the children to daycare while I stayed with Derek.
After Alex took the kids I went to Derek's bedside where Amelia examined him for possible brain injuries. "Meredith, I need to take Derek for a CT I'm afraid he might have an aneurism that is causing the fainting" explained Amelia. I agreed with her hoping to find answers to what was wrong with Derek. A nurse came by during Derek's CT asking me what happened in the past 12 hours. I told the nurse everything I knew. I even told her that Derek woke up at 5:00 puking but he said he was fine and that it was just a bug going around. The nurse quickly walked away I didn't know where she was going. I was afraid of losing him especially after we have 2 babies that are only 4 months old who need their father.
Amelia came back and said that Derek's head has a slight aneurysm but she is more concerned about the nurse telling her about the vomiting. The next thing I remember is having Dr. Bailey paged into room 409. She examined Derek and wanted a blood test. After the blood test she checked his right side where his appendix is. Dr. Bailey told me that he needed to have an ultrasound to check on his appendix. After the testing I was told that he was going to be preped for an emergency surgery. I couldn't be in with him, instead I was a patients spouse. I was pacing just to find out what was going on.
Dr. Bailey came out and said that his surgery was life threatening and that his appendix almost bursted. She explained how he should wake up soon, and that he is being monitored in case he has to have the brain operation. I was scared but I knew he was in great hands. I ended up taking a week off work in case Derek's condition gets worse
A/N: sorry for the delay I'm hoping I'm not copying anyone else's fan fiction because I came up with this idea upon watching mystery diagnosis stay tuned for chapter 12 as it explains Derek's condition and the start of an old romance between Alex and Izzy.
