CBloom2: Thank you for the review.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 191.
Cal cushioned his brother's head, as the head was a sensitive area, while with his other hand he rang for an ambulance.
The ambulance didn't take long to arrive.
"Ambulance service" Jeff shouted as he entered the house.
"We are upstairs " Hannah replied, standing on the landing.
Jeff and Dixie got Ethan on to the spinal board and lifted it on the stretcher, before transporting the stretcher down the stairs, through the door and in to the ambulance. Cal grabbed his brothers hand as Jeff secured an oxygen mask over his face.
The ambulance drove off, switching the blue lights on.
Cal noticed the tears fall down Hannah's cheeks. He put an arm around her and held her close.
"He'll be fine, he's a fighter "
Hannah nodded, wiping away her tears. "OK"
The ambulance arrived in the Bay and the doors were opened, Ethan was wheeled out.
"This is Ethan Hardy, 27, BP 60/ 90." Said Jeff.
"Cal, what happened?" Zoe asked, as they transferred him on to the cubicle bed.
"He had a seizure "
"Has he had one before, Cal?" Zoe asked.
Cal shook his head, his eyes trained upon his brother on the bed, one arm around his niece. "No. "
Zoe knew that some seizures often stopped on there own. So, all Cal and Hannah could do was wait.
"What happened?" Ethan asked as he opened his eyes, blinking groggily.
"Hello, Ethan, you had a seizure " Zoe informed him.
Ethan was shocked, before his diagnose, he had been a relatively healthy young adult. When, he was a child around 8, his father had taken him and Cal to the park and Ethan had chosen to go on the swing, with Cal pushing him. Ethan kept asking to go higher and Ahigher ands Cal agreed, but when Cal saw a pretty girl, he wondered over to her and flirted with her.
In his absence, Ethan had fallen off the swing. His dad was on his phone, chatting to the boys mother, Matilda.
Ethan landed on the floor, his elbow was at a odd angle and his knee was bleeding. He started crying.
His dad rushed over.
Ethan was taken to hospital and a nice doctor had reset his elbow, giving him entnox to try to cope with the pain. The doctor took Ethan's elbow out of the frac pac and reset it as Ethan screamed as even with the entnox, he was finding it painful. The doctor put it in a splint to help the bones heal properly and gave Ethan a sticker for being brave.
"Will it happen again?" He asked, finally focusing on Zoe.
Zoe shrugged. "I didn't know. Sometimes seizures happen just the once "
"Thanks Zoe " Cal smiled as Zoe left them.
Hannah come in. "You had me scared, I was going to lose you. "
"Hey" Ethan whispered, hugging her. "I'm not going anywhere. "
"Promise?" Hannah asked.
Ethan swallowed, the truth was, he didn't know if he was going to be around to see her grow up. "I.. promise. "
Cal reached over and squeezed his hand.
