Putting her firm arm around Alice’s shoulders, “Please try really hard not to be too upset. She is already frightened and us showing her that we are upset will only upset her more. Promise me Alice.”
“OK, ok … ok, I’ll try.” This is the first time that Alice has really seen anyone sick since they lost Dana and that is still very raw.
Chapter 12
Bette walks back into the room with her arm firmly around Alice’s shoulders. She has a tight grip just in case she needs to help hold her up.
Walking Alice to Tina’s bedside, Alice is not really prepared for what she about to see. Bette starts to speak softly. “ Tina, can you open your eyes. Alice is here.”
Tina slowly opens a small slit in one eye.
“Tina, can you squeeze her hand? She needs to know that you can hear us.”
Bette slips Alice’s hand into Tina’s and Tina gives her a faint squeeze.
Alice is now falling apart and Bette takes her out of the room.
“Alice, you have got to pull yourself together or you cannot stay. This is not going to be easy. This is going to be a very difficult time for Tina. She’s confused, she cannot speak, Jesus, I am not even sure that she really knows who we are. Until she can speak, we still do not know the extent of her brain injury.”
“Bette, I can’t do this. I thought I was stronger than this but, I can’t be here. I am so, so sorry. Please call me. Keep me up on what’s goin’ on. But, I can’t be here. I love you both. Please tell Tina that too!” Alice slowly walked away from Bette and disappeared down the long corridor. Bette understood. It was just too soon.
As Bette stood watching Alice leave, one of the neurosurgeons walked in.
“Hello Miss Porter, so Miss Kennard is awake.”
“Yes, she is responding to questions but she’s unable to speak.”
“Well, that is not uncommon. Let’s see how she is doing.
“Miss Kennard, it’s Doctor Peek. I saw you last night in the emergency room. You are looking much better today, Can you tell me know you are feeling.”

So glad that Tina is reponding to Bette Tina will get better,but Bette needs to take care of Bette along the way. Love this.

I am so glad that Tina is responding to Bette and willing to fight for her life and family with Bette at her side. Bette sharing her fear, but being strong was so perfect.
I am so glad that Tina is responding even though it is in a small way. They will make it through as long as they keep the faith and don’t give up.

I am so glad that Tina seems to be getting better. Bette is being wonderful and the story just gets better and better. pps
Love this story and Tina’s progress. Please post whenever you can!
Well, there are some advantages to falling so far behind in reading the chpaters. I was able to read them in succession without a break. This story hits way to close to home. At least this one has a chance of having a better ending then my sister and her family’s.
Glad to see Tina try to responding to Bette and thing!
