Tina, Chapter 14
She has two wounds. One bullet hit her headabove the right eye. The good news is it didnt penetrate all the way through. It was lodged in her skull, but there was some resultant swelling and blood pooling in the area. The swelling itself may cause some damage. This damage could be permanent or temporary.we wont know until she wakes up and we can run some tests. We also wont know how severe the injury is until we run cognitive tests on her.
Whats the worst case scenario? Shane says the words before I can but do I really want to hear the answer?
Shell have to learn how to walk and talk again. And she may have amnesia. That being said, the best case scenario would be for her to wake up without anything more that a splitting headache.
Thats a relief, Dana exclaims. The look on the doctors face tells me thats not all the bad news. He hasnt told us about the other injury.
And the other wound? I finally compose myself enough to ask.
The other bullet hit her chest. It lodged in her ascending aorta. The aorta is an extremely large blood vessel with a lot of pressure inside it. The size and pressure make even the smallest injury life threatening. Ms. Porter had a bullet lodged in hers. Look, Im not going to lie to you Ms. Kennard, your partner is in bad shape. Her heart has stopped three times already and the more times it stops the less likely it is to start pumping again. The amount of blood she lost through her aorta has contributed to the swelling in her brain because of the lack of oxygen. Even if the head injury didnt do any damage, she may still have to relearn everything we take for granted because of the lack of oxygen to her brain. Now, shes out of surgery and being moved to the Intensive Care Unit. Itll take a while to get her settled into her room, but youre more than welcome to go wait in the family waiting area up there. The nurses will tell you when you can see her. I close my eyes, trying to stop the already flowing tears.

i dont understand allyour laws and all or the medical talk very muchbut i would really like to send Bette a beautiful flower arrangement and a get well card!!
I think you have done an excellent job of portraying how the thought of losing someone permanently puts other issues into perspective.
If they don’t have a hate crime unit then they usually have a special victims unit that hate crime would fall under.
Hey Perf. you better not let anything happen to bette. I will hunt you down. If you have to kill someone kill jenny or candace, not bette.
