As
soon as she got inside the waiting room, she saw Daniel and Marilyn, and
Misty and Tony. Daniel quickly came up to her and said ,are you
ok babe. I'm fine she said, but I am so scared ,I am not sure how
long she was out. I was on the phone with mom in the den
,we talked for quite a while, then I hung up and decided to go
help grandma in the kitchen with the peas. When I got there ,I
found her on the floor. she looked so pale Daniel, I am so scared.
He hugged her and said, I know honey but try to relax. I'll try
she said. About that time Dr. Roberts came up to them and said, we
have her stable Margo, it was a stroke ,a very bad one. She is in
a coma right now. I'm not sure given her age and all if she'll
make it. But you know she is a fighter, and she may surprise us all.
Mom
is on her way, said Margo, she'll be on the next flight ,so I hope
she can at least wait till mom gets here. Can I see her? yes,
but just two of you at a time. Marilyn spoke up and said, you
and Daniel go ahead dear, we'll wait out here. Ok, thanks said
Margo, and
she and Daniel walked down the hall. They
walked into the room and Margo nearly lost it, when she seen her
grandmother hooked up to all the machines. How pale and lifeless
she looked lying in the hospital bed. Margo stumbled a little
,and Daniel quickly put his arm around her waist. Then he pulled
a chair over to the bedside and said ,sit here sweetie. Margo sat
down and reached for grandma Mary's hand, it felt so cold. Tears
filled Margo's eyes, but she tried to stay strong. She spoke up
and said, ok old woman ,we have a lot to do before this baby
arrives. So you need to get well ok? Then she said, mom is on her
way grandma, she said to tell you that she loves you. We all
love you so much grandma, but I know that you're tired and you
miss grandpa Sam. So if you want to be with him ,we'll all
understand. Mary stirred in the bed a little. Margo thought she
was coming to ,but her eyes fluttered a bit, and then she was
still again. Margo said, I hope you can be here for the baby. I
know you will be a wonderful great grandmother, and I still need
you to to tell me more about magnolia lane. honestly ,I just
still need my grandma, I'm not ready to say goodbye yet. Then she
laid her head on the bed and sobbed uncontrollably. Daniel put
his hand on her back and said, lets go for a walk to the chapel
,honey you have to calm down ,it's not good for the baby. I know
said Margo, and she started to stand up, but a terrible pain hit
her. She cried out and sat back down ,and said ,get the nurse Daniel
something is wrong. Daniel ran to the door, and looked down the hall, he
saw a nurse walking by and stopped her. He said, my wife is
pregnant and she is in a lot of pain. Can you please find Dr Roberts. I
will, she said ,and she took off down the hall . Margo cried out
again ,and said, please God, don't take my baby. About that time
Dr Roberts and Joanne rushed into the room. Joanne put her arms
around her and said it's ok baby, mama's here. Dr Roberts told
the nurse take her to an exam room, and call the OB doctor on
call . Get her a wheel chair and order a ultra sound. Daniel said
,I'll go with her Mrs. white, you stay and visit your mom. I'll
let you know what's going on, as soon as we find out. Joanne said,
thanks Daniel ,she kissed Margo and said ,everything will be ok honey, just
calm down, it's probably just from getting so upset about mom
.The nurse came back with the wheelchair and said, we're ready
for you Mrs. Rodgers and off they went down the hall .
