Waiting Room Blues
After an hour of waiting, the Chan Clan were beginning to get restless.
"I can't stand all this sitting and waiting! There's gotta be something else we can do!" Flip groaned.
"I have to agree, Pop, can't we at least go in and see Anne?" Mimi pleaded.
A worried Chu Chu whimpered as he nodded his head to agree.
"I'm afraid not, Mimi, the doctor forbids it." Charlie said.
"Then what can we do?" Suzie asked, clearly worried.
"The doctors have done everything they could, it's all up to Anne now, let's just hope she will be able to fight this and come back to us." Charlie said.
Henry checked his wristwatch as Anne was being wheeled out of the operating room on the gurney where she lay.
"Mister Chan, my team and I did all we could, we are taking your daughter to the recovery ward," the doctor said. "the rest is up to you and your family, it is your job to keep her in the land of the living as much as you all possibly can."
"I see, come along, children." Charlie said.
Henry, Stanley, Suzie, Alan, Tom, Flip, Nancy, Mimi, Scooter, and Chu Chu followed Charlie to Anne's room in the recovery ward.
