JDL: *picking up and carrying Aycee* halika apo kong maganda, let's ride your big car ha. Sige na Menggay larga na. *as they all went to the parking area with JDL and the other staff helping them to their RV*
Soon they arrived at the hospital. As Maine got out of the van, she noticed a tight feeling in her tummy, but ignored it as she hurried out. She turned her head because her daughter Aycee grabbed on to her arm as she went to shut the van door. She turned quickly in fear that her daughter might get caught in between the van doors so she swiftly put out her other arm to stop the fast-sliding door when a pain shot through her hand, it got caught in the closing door. She yanked the door open, seeing her fingers turning purplish. They hurt very badly and she swore crisply under her breath, tears forming in her eyes. But she bravely marched on towards the ER, her son is much more important that her hand. She went in aiming straight for the reception looking for her son.
M: I'm looking for my son, Theoden Mace Faulkerson. Where is he?
Desk clerk: *taken by surprise by the sudden appearance of a famous actress in front of her* Ay si Maine Mendoza po kayo! Ang ganda nyo po! Ay sorry po Ma'am! *as people around started looking at M*
M: I'm Mrs. Faulkerson, my son was brought here from his school, Theoden Faulkerson, asan ang anak ko??
Desk Clerk: Ay opo doon po sa trauma room 1, sorry po! Nurse! Andito na yung kay trauma 1!
Nurse: *approaches M* Ms. Maine, kayo po mother ni Theo Faulkerson? Halika po andito sya. *leads M to the curtained area*
M: *walks faster with her heels clicking loudly on the floor as she's now able to hear her son cry* Theo! *as the nurse pulls the curtains* Theo! Oh my baby! *hugs Theo and kisses his face* What happened?
Theo: I fell Mommy.. ouch. * gestures towards his now sore cut lower lip*
M: Theo.. how many times do I have to tell you to be very careful? Look at you, Daddy will be very upset when he finds out. Hay jusko anak ko, may contest ba kayong magkakapatid na di ko alam? you are all giving me quite a scare!
Doctor: Mrs. Faulkerson.. I'm Dr. Dolly Bustamante. *shakes M's hands* Oh what happened to your hand? It looks sore, I'll check it out in a minute. I'm sorry to have met you under these circumstances. The school nurse here already relayed to us what happened. I checked your son Theoden as soon as he arrived and he seems fine. Nothing seems to be broken and he's not complaining of any headache or blurring of vision. He seems alert and oriented to his surroundings. He can follow simple commands. He's not complaining of any pain except for soreness on his cut lower lip which is understandable. I did order bloodworks, xrays and a ct scan so we can cover everything we might have missed during the physical exams. I will need your consent Mrs. Faulkerson. Nurse Diane here is assigned solely to Theo and will help you with the forms. I understand the need for privacy Mrs. Faulkerson, rest assured our staff here will keep everything confidential. Theo has records here, as all your other children as well since they were all born here. Theo's pediatrician Dr. Delgado is also here. We already called her and she should be on her way down soon.
M: Thank you very much Doctor, you can just imagine my panic when I first got the call!
Doctor: Perfectly understandable Mrs. Faulkerson. I have four children myself and they get into all kinds of scrapes and being a doctor still doesn't make a difference, I still get scared for them. Is there anyone you would like to call? Is your husband on his way? Do you have a companion or an assistant with you?
M: My husband is on his way back from the States, he should be landing soon. But I do need to step out for a minute. I also have my other three children with me who are actually sick too. My youngest are three year twins who are feverish due to their vaccines yesterday and my six year old girl has the colds. They are in the van with their yayas.
