Ryan McQuaid: pov nerve damage how serious is it?
Dr Rosen: pov right now it's too early to tell, it could be temporary or permanent. She will definitely need physical therapy for it.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I grab my phone and call my brother since i’m already in the hallway and let him know the results of Annie's scans and X-ray.
Jeff McQuaid: pov so does that mean you are coming.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I guess Joan convinced me.
Jeff McQuaid: pov hey I meant to ask before but didn't want to intrude, you have not mentioned Annie's family once. Does she not have any or is she no contact with them because if I was in the hospital I would want my family to know.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I actually don't know if she has any, Annie has never mentioned them to me nor has Joan and she would know that info. I can ask her right now actually. I quietly sneak back into Annie's room to talk to Joan, hey can we head into the hallway I don't want to wake her up. I can see Annie through the door while I talk with Joan.
Joan: pov is everything okay.
Ryan McQuaid: pov her head scan looked good, her arm one showed possible nerve damage and her X-ray looked good.
Joan: pov Nerve damage do they know if it's temporary or permanent.
Ryan McQuaid: pov no, that's not why I want to talk to you. Do you know if Annie has any family, she hasn't mentioned any to me the whole time we have known each other. and my brother said if he was in the hospital he would want them to be called and it got me thinking about if she had a family and if she does why weren't they notified that she was in the ER.
Joan: pov it's complicated, as you know Annie faked her own death to catch a bad man with the help of Calder and eyal and then went dark for a bit. I left it up to Annie if she wanted her sister to know she was alive and Annie kept saying it was safer for her sister not to know. Auggie was the one who notified her of Annie's death.
Ryan McQuaid: pov that's rough. But shouldn't she have a right to know her sister is alive.
Joan: pov yes but that's Annie's choice.
Ryan McQuaid: pov with her health being bad I think she should tell her sister she is alive.
Joan: pov yes, maybe you can convince her. I think her sister should know she is alive.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I head back into Annie's room with Joan before I have to leave. I hear the door slowly open, it's Dr carpenter the nurse must have told him Annie was asleep.
Dr Carpenter: pov Annie is definitely asleep, In a low voice i mention that i just wanted to check on Annie, see how she's doing. Her vitals look much better, tomorrow she has an echocardiogram scheduled.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I brush Annie's hair out of her face with my hand and kiss her on the forehead. I tell Joan to call or text me if anything happens. I make it to the restaurant in good time and find the booth my brother is sitting in.
Jeff McQuaid: pov hey, you made it how's Annie?
Ryan McQuaid: pov Pretty much the same, she was asleep when I left. I didn't want to wake her up.
Jeff McQuaid: pov the waiter asks us if we would like to order something to drink while we look at the menu. Yes, a beer.
Ryan McQuaid: pov soda is fine for me. I don't want to drink anything because I have to go back to the hospital after this to be with Annie.
Jeff McQuaid: pov that makes sense. Our waiter's name is Charles, the menu has a lot of interesting food on it. Ryan has been here before, he is the one who picked out the place. Hey Charles do you happen to have non-alcoholic beer?
Charles the waiter: pov yes I do, would you like that instead of the alcoholic kind.
Jeff McQuaid: pov yes, can I also get one for my brother.
Ryan McQuaid: pov didn't even think of that as an option
Jeff McQuaid: pov now we both can have a beer and not worry.
Ryan McQuaid: pov how's the family been.
Jeff McQuaid: pov great, can you believe it leighanne is having another baby.
Ryan McQuaid: pov when she told me I was so happy for her, I talked with her on the phone recently. I wish I could spend more time with you guys but with work and Annie's health it's hard to find time.
Jeff McQuaid: pov Remember that time we went camping as kids and a bee climbed into your sleeping bag.
Ryan McQuaid: pov yep and I killed it with my bare hands and leighanne fell into the lake trying to stand up in the canoe because a bug was crawling up her leg.
Jeff McQuaid: pov I miss camping, we should definitely get together and go camping again.
Ryan McQuaid: pov i’v been wanting to go, I know Annie would love It but with her health that might not be a good idea.
Jeff McQuaid: pov wouldn't hurt to ask her Dr's about it. Leighanne’s been talking about taking the kids camping for a while, but now that she is pregnant it would have to be after the baby is born and it's it's little older. Have you ever thought about having kids?
Ryan McQuaid: pov Kelly wanted kids and I didn't then she got cancer and that was off the table, I haven't thought about it since then.
Jeff McQuaid: pov have you talked with Annie about it to see if she wants kids.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I haven't brought it up because I don't know if she can have any.
Jeff McQuaid: pov sorry I didn't think about that. Just for peace of mind, is there any way to find out if you or Annie can or can't have kids, because there are probably some good obgyn doctors nearby. I just don't want you to miss out on having kids if it's an option. you can probably ask leighanne for a good recommendation.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I don't want to get Annie's hopes up, with her health having kids i assume could be very dangerous. I could always talk to Joan about it, she has a young son named Mack. To be continued. ……….
