Dr. Reid Oliver, Sanda's Hero

[jessie]

Here is a short story for you Sanda, hope you like it..

Sanda was looking down at her sweet boy, she couldn't believe just this morning, he was running around, and now he won't open up his eyes. She lost Gary, her husband 2 years ago, little Bobby was only 4 years old. He was her life, and if she lost him, she wouldn't have anything to live for anymore. She touched his sweet face, and he didn't move, which made her cry. She didn't hear anyone come in, but someone touched her shoulder.

Sanda turned around, and saw Dr. Reid Oliver standing in front of her. She wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, you are Bobby's Doctor, how did the tests go"?

"Well I would like for you to sit down, you look so exhausted"

"My son is lying here unconscious, how am I suppose to feel"?

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to help. I hear your son fell at school three days ago, is that right"?

"Yes, but I took him to the Doctor's when they called me why"?

"Did they take any x-rays or tests"?

"No they said he seemed fine, to take him home, and watch him. He was fine, I woke him up every hour that night"

"Sanda he has a blood clot, that has to be removed. It was from the fall, if they took some tests they would have seen it"

"OMG are you saying my boy is like this because his Doctor didn't do his job right. I did everything I was suppose to do, I'm not suppose to trust a Doctor"

"Sanda he probably thought he was fine, but I would have arranged for some tests"

"I can't believe this, what can we do now for him"?

"We have him on blood thinners right now. We are going to wait 24 hours, than we will operate"

"He will be fine right"?

"We don't know if there is any permanent damage or not"

"Oh no this can't be happening, I can't lose Bobby he is all I got"

"I'm going to do everything in my power to help him trust me"

"I trusted Dr. Wilson, how can I trust anyone"

"Trust me". They both jump when Bobby whispered, "Mommy"

Sanda ran to him, "Mommy is here, baby Mommy is here"

Bobby opened his eyes, and tried to smile. He looked around, and was a little scared. Reid walked over, "Hey little guy, I'm Dr. Reid"

"Mommy I'm scared"

"Shh you are fine, Dr. Reid is going to take care of you"

"I want to go home Mommy, I want Sammy"

Reid smiled, "Who is Sammy his brother"?

"No his stuffed rabbit, his Father gave it to him, years ago"

"I want Sammy"

"Ok I will get Sammy, but will you stay still for Mommy"?

"Ok". Bobby started to drift off asleep, Sanda touched his forehead. "I can't leave him, but I have to get Sammy"

"You go home, and get his toy, I will be right here until you come back"

"You would do that for me"?

"Yes, go Sanda, he should have Sammy when he wakes up". Sanda smiled, she walked over hugging Reid, and whispered, "Take care of my boy, I will be right back"

"I will drive safe Sanda". She grabbed her purse, she kissed Bobby , on the forehead, and left, to go get Sammy.

Reid walked over , he touched Bobby's cheek, and whispered, "You be strong little guy, your Ma Ma needs you".

Chapter 2

Sanda drove home, and ran into the house, and ran up to Bobby's room to grab his Stuffed Bunny. She sat on the bed, and broke down crying. She hugged his rabbit, and whispered , "Dear God please don't take my baby away from me. You took Gary, don't take Bobby, he is all I got". She reached over grabbing the phone, and called her parents.

"Hello"

"Mom "

"Sanda what is wrong, you seem upset, is Bobby ok"?

"Mom he is in the hospital, he collapsed at school. He has a blood clot, they have to operate Ma Ma"

'Oh Sanda we will be on the next flight, I knew you, and Bobby should have came home after Gary died"

"Mom I love my job here, I'm happy here, so is Bobby"

"Baby I will be on the next flight with your Father"

"Mom what if I lose him"?

"You won't lose that sweet boy, he is a strong little guy. He won't leave his Ma Ma, don't you think that way"

"I have to go Mom, I just came home to get Sammy"

"Oh he still loves that Bunny does he"?

"Yes, it was from his Daddy, he needs him".

"Sanda we will be there probably tomorrow, I will call you on your cell phone ok"

"I love you Mom, tell Daddy, I love him too"

"I will Sanda go be with Bobby, and you stay positive".

"I will bye Mom". Sanda hung up, she grabbed a few of his books, and his little sweater, pajamas, and socks, housecoat, and his favourite blanket. She grabbed a few things for herself, and ran out locking the door. She got to the car, and drove back to the hospital.

Bobby was asleep but started to wake up calling for his Mommy. Reid jumped up, "Bobby Mommy will be here really soon"

"I want Mommy, and Sammy"

"She went home to get him".

Bobby has tears in his eyes, Reid touched his cheek. "I promise you little guy, you will get better, and you will go home soon"

"I'm scared"

"I know, it is scary being in this big hospital, but everyone wants to help you get better"

"Why are you a Doctor"?

"Why to make people better Bobby"?

"Don't you get sad"?

'Sad sometimes, but watching people go home, makes me smile"

"My Daddy didn't go home, he is in Heaven"

"Oh well I'm sure he is watching over you right this moment"

"I don't see him, Mommy says that all the time. Is that true when you die do you come back"?

Reid didn't know what to say, but he smiled. "Well Bobby do you feel your Daddy's around sometimes"?

"I don't know, maybe"

"I believe if you believe it will come true. I believe you will get better, you will play, and you will go home with your Ma Ma, and forget all about this scary hospital"

Bobby smiled, "You are funny, I like you". Reid smiled as the door of the hospital room opened up. Reid didn't notice, it was Luke the nurse told him Reid was in the room waiting for the Mother to come back. Luke stood watching as Reid was talking to the little boy, and Luke smiled as he heard the little boy laughing.

Sanda walked in, and Luke smiled, "Oh I'm here waiting to talk to the Doctor sorry".

"Come in, I'm here now, Dr. Reid doesn't have to wait with him anymore". Reid stood up, "Oh I enjoyed my time with this little guy, he is a pleasure to talk to"

"Yes he is, Bobby look who is here"

Bobby smiled, "Sammy". Sanda brought it over, and Bobby hugged him, and smiled, "thank you Ma Ma". Sanda kissed his forehead, Bobby started to shut his eyes, and fell asleep. Reid touched her shoulder, "I will get a cot in here for you to sleep on"

"The chair is fine, don't go through any trouble"

"No trouble, I will be right back". Reid walked out, and Luke said goodbye, and followed him. Reid turned, "I have to set this up first, before I go home"

"Is the little boy really sick"?

"He has a blood clot, I will be operating on him tomorrow. He will be fine, he has to be. I will be right back, than we can go home". Reid walked away, Luke could see he was nervous, he looked at the room, and thought if anything went wrong, it would kill Reid. He shut his eyes, and said a little prayer for Bobby, and for Reid, and his Mother, he prayed everything would turn out fine.

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. I LOVE that Luke said a prayer for Reid, me, and my son Bobby. I LOVE that Reid arranged for the hospital to bring me a cot in my sons hospital room. I hope and pray that everything goes OK for my son Bobby when Reid operates on him. I think that Luke should be in the waiting room with me and my parents when Reid operates on my son to give us moral support.

[melindajo2000]

that was nice for him to get a cot for Sanda to sleep on. I hope Bobby turns out ok

[jessie]

Chapter 3

Reid got the cot for Sanda, they brought it in , and set it up. Reid walked over touching her shoulder. "Sanda the operation will be tomorrow at 10am. We rushed it through because a clot is serious, we want to do the operation right away. I promise you , I will keep him safe, and by this time next week, he might be going home with you"

Sanda went into Reid's arms, she was crying. Reid wrapped his arms around her, "I know it is scary but you have to trust me"

"I do but I lost Gary my husband, I can't lose Bobby too'

"You won't, I'm the best" Reid smiled, "Ok I'm bragging, but it is a fact". Luke walked over, "He is the best, if you like I can be with you tomorrow, when he goes into the operating room"

"I would like that my Parents are coming too, but I don't know what time tomorrow"

Reid touched her cheek, "We will back tomorrow morning around 8. You try to get some sleep, and think positive"

"Thank you both of you, I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have you here"

"Would you like us to spend the night"? Reid asked

"No I need you to go home, and get some rest. I don't want you operating tired. I will be fine, and thank you for setting this cot up for me"

"No problem". Luke and Reid walked to the door, and smiled and left the room. Luke went with Reid to his office, to get his coat, and bag. They left the hospital, but told the nurse to call if anything changed with Bobby. Reid was quiet going home, Luke touched his arm. "Reid it will be fine you are the best person to do the operation for Bobby"

"I'm so worried they both trust me, I promised her everything would be fine"

"You had to Reid that is the right thing to do"

"I know but if something went wrong how could I face her? She lost her husband, now she is so scared for her little boy. I hate when children get sick, I get more nervous holding a child's life in my hands"

"Bobby will be fine lets go home, and eat than go to bed. Sanda is right you need rest, Bobby needs you focused"

"I know"

They got in the house, and walked inside. Luke told Reid to go up, and take a shower, while he got dinner ready. Reid ran upstairs, while Luke put a homemade pizza in the oven. He set the table, than put a couple of sodas, on the table. It was 1/2 hour later Reid came down in his boxers. He sat down, Luke brought the pizza over, and put it on the table. Reid smiled, "You are the best cook, I love your pizza's". He took a slice, while Luke got a slice. They were talking, but Luke knew Reid was worried, but it was his duty to keep his mind focused on tomorrow. He knew everything would turn out ok, it just had to for both Sanda, Bobby and Reid. Luke smiled, "Want some ice cream for dessert"?

"Rocky Road"?

"Yeah your favourite"

"Sure". They both finished off the pizza, than they had their ice cream. They cleaned up, and went up to bed. Reid fell asleep in Luke's arms, he laid awake thinking. He said a little prayer, than fell asleep holding Reid.

Back at the Hospital

Sanda was sitting on the cot watching Bobby sleeping. She wiped tears from her eyes, as she laid back looking at the ceiling. She whispered, "Gary our baby is sick, please put a word in with God. Please tell him he can't have him now, he has you but he can't take our boy. I miss you Gary, but looking at Bobby I see you. I can't let you have him yet forgive me Gary". She pulled a sheet over her, and cried herself to sleep.

[melindajo2000]

oh this is so sad,, let him be okay please,, need a kleenex for this one!!

[Sanda]

OMG poor Sanda, Reid, Luke, and baby Bobby. Please let Sanda's son Bobby be ok. I LOVE that Reid fell asleep in Luke's arms and Luke said a pray for Sanda, Bobby and Reid. I LOVE that Luke is going to wait with me while Reid is operating on my son. I feel horrible for me crying myself to sleep.

[jessie]

Chapter 4

Sanda was awake most of the night, she was watching her baby sleep. Every movement, or moan scared her to death. The nurse even asked her if she wanted her to get the Doctor to prescribe her something to get some sleep. She wouldn't take anything Bobby might need her, and than what. It was 8am when Bobby woke up whispered, "Mommy"

"I'm right here Sweetie, I slept right beside you"

"Where am I"?

"The Hospital sweetie don't worry about it". The door opened, Sanda saw her Parents coming in. She ran over hugging them, she tried to be brave but they could see she was terrified. Frank hugged her than walked over to Bobby.

"Hey big guy, how are you doing"?

"Not good Grandpa, I want to go home, but they said not yet"

"Soon Bobby, how is baseball going"?

"Not good, I'm not great but I try, and Mommy says that is good"

"Yes it is, but I bet your just great". Carol walked over, "There is my sweet boy, you are getting so big"

"Grandma"

"How are you feeling Bobby"?

"Tired but I'm OK"

"That is good Sweetie". Bobby smiled as Sanda walked over keeping the tears in.

The door opened, and Luke and Reid walked in.

"How is my #1 patient"?

"Ok "

Reid was checking him out, he smiled as Sanda introduced her Parents. He shook their hands, and told them everything would be ok. He knew in his heart it had to be but he was shaking inside he was so nervous.

Reid walked over to Sanda, "You and your Parents will have to go out in a minute, we have to prep him for surgery"

"I'm so scared Dr. Oliver"

"I'm going to take good care of him, he will be ok"

Sanda smiled as she walked over giving Bobby a kiss. Her Parents did to, they said they would see him before he left for surgery. They walked out in the hall, shutting the door. That was when Sanda broke down, her Mom held on to her trying to reassure her everything would be ok. She knew after Gary's death she didn't have much faith in prayer. They walked over sitting down as Luke walked over sitting beside them. Sanda smiled, "I'm sorry Mom, Dad this is Luke he has been wonderful helping out, he is with Reid"

Frank and Carol shook his hand, they all sat quiet waiting for Reid to come out.

He walked out, "We are taking him to surgery, he has been given a light sedation, we don't want him upset. You can say your goodbyes, if you want you can wait here, or Luke can take you to my office. I will come , and get you once the surgery is over. It will take about 4 hours, it is a long wait, plus recovery time"

Sanda went into Reid's arms, "Please bring him back to me, I can't lose my baby". Reid hugged her, and he broke down Sanda was crying so hard. Frank knew it wasn't good for Reid to get upset, he walked over, "Sanda you have to be brave when Bobby comes out. He can't see his Mom upset." Sanda hugged her Dad as Reid walked over to the room, and they brought out Bobby, Sanda, his Grand Parents said goodbye to him, and kissed him they all tried to be brave but they could see he was scared which upset them. Reid was great he got him laughing as he left with him, and Sanda hugged her Mom, as they all went to Reid's office.

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. I LOVE how sweet Reid was with me and my parents before Bobby's surgery. I hope and pray that Bobby is going to be OK.

[melindajo2000]

Reid was awesome with Sanda here, she really needs someone to be strong for her right now. I'm glad you updated

[jessie]

Chapter 5

Sanda kissed Bobby on the forehead, and told him she will be waiting for him, and Dr. Oliver was going to take good care of him. Frank, and Carol gave Bobby a kiss, and Carol hugged Reid, and whispered, "Take care of our Little Boy"

"I will I promise"

Luke took them out of the room, and down to Bob's office. Reid turned to Bobby, and smiled as the Nurse , and him got him prepped. They wheeled him to the operating room, and went inside. Reid washed up, and was getting ready to start the surgery, he was nervous but confident Bobby would make a full recovery, but he always had that feeling something might go wrong, but he had to push that from his mind, and focus only on Bobby.

Sanda sat down on the couch in Reid's office, and Carol sat beside her pulling her close.

"Mom I can't lose Bobby he is all I have"

"You will not lose Bobby, and you know you have us too so don't say that"

"You know what I mean, I love you Mom but he is my Baby"

Frank smiled, "Bobby is so brave, he will be fine, I just know it"

Luke walked over, "I will go get you something to eat, or drink"

They only wanted coffees, Frank said he would go with him.

Carol sat holding Sanda's hand, and asked her what she thought of Dr. Oliver.

"Mom he is amazing, and Bobby loves him, and trusts him"

"He is nice, and so cute"

"Mom he is with Luke they are a couple"

"I thought so the looks they gave each other, and that photo on the desk is a good giveaway"

Sanda got up lifting the photo, "They make a cute couple"

"Yes, but how have you been Sanda"?

"OK well I'm a nervous wreck worrying about Bobby, but he makes me smile, and laugh. He keeps me going, and seeing him suffering like this is not fair. I would rather be in that operating room, not seeing my son in there"

"God works in mysterious ways but he will need his Ma Ma when he comes out of surgery so don't you say that"

"Thanks for coming Mom, I need you, and Dad so much"

"We heard , and took the first plane here, I wish you would move back home"

"No I'm happy here, and Bobby has friends, and his school"

"We do have schools in San Antonio child"

"I know Mom but I want to make it on my own, I want to be the Mother you were to me"

"I love you Sanda"

Frank, and Luke walked back into the room, and handed Carol, and Sanda the coffee.

"How long has it been, it is taking forever"? Sanda said pacing the room, Frank whispered, "It has only been 1 hour, you have to relax, and have faith in Dr. Oliver, and God that Bobby is going to make a full recovery"

Luke smiled "Reid is amazing, he will take care of Bobby, and he will be fine Sanda"

"I know I'm just scared to death, I hate that he is alone in there"

"He isn't alone he has a Wonderful Doctor, and a team of medical people working along side of him" Frank hugged Sanda, as she hugged him back.

[Sanda]

Great update. Please let Sanda's little boy Bobby be ok. Please let Bobby's surgery be a success.

[melindajo2000]
