Kelly's pov: once I come back inside to see what is going on with Stella I see that they are still working on her so I try to go on to the room to make sure she still OK but Ethan kicks me out and told me to go wait out in the hallway. I happy because at least April is in there and then Maggie Walks by
NM= hey how are you guys doing
K= Choi kicked us out
NM= yeah he needs room to work Kelly try to be patient Kelly
Then about another 5 seconds Ethan comes
K= hey what is happening
EC= her vitals are holding but she's in pretty bad shape we are running some test and should know soon
10 minutes later dr. Rhodes comes to help out Dr. Choi and he needs to see a chest x-Ray
CR= where is the x-ray
RN= it's coming
( the x-ray pops up)
CR= she's got a massive hemorrhage in her right lung. It's impossible to say where it's coming from. All right call the blood bank trigger the MTP
K= can you stop the bleed
CR= first I got to find it lets set up for a bronchoscopy
About 20 minutes later
EC= she lost a significant amount of blood
CR= unfortunately the only way we can be sure to completely stop her bleeding is to remove her entire lung
K= what
CR= yeah
EC= Kelly it's the best chance we have of saving Stellas life
K= she can't be a firefighter if she only has one lung. There got to be something else you can do April?
NA=. What if we try Ecmo. it would rest her lung so we have time to locate the bleed
CR= we would have to give her anticoagulant to keep the lines open
EC= it would make her bleed worse
NA= isn't it worth a shot?
EC= she's too unstable
RC= believe me Kelly this is the best course of action
K= sounds to me like you are thrown in the towel before you even tried to save her lung. Being a firefighter is the only thing stella cares about. I am not going to let you do that.
EC= I'm sorry but it's not up to you we haven't been able to reach her family so it's our decision
CR= get her upstairs
K= I won't let you do this
( Kelly stands in the way of Connor)
CR= Kelly please
K= no no
CR= Kelly you have to let me
K= no no
CR= get off
EC= hey security!!!
NA= woah woah Ethan! Kelly
K= come on
NA= Ethan
EC= please escort this man out
NA= Ethan
SG= Sir come with us
K= don't. Don't touch me
EC= I am sorry Kelly
K= don't do this
SG= please sir
Kelly's pov: I am walking outside of the security guards close behind me as I walked into the waiting room to be walked outside I see everybody else from the firehouse and they asked me what's going on. Tell them what's going on and I ask whatever to keep me updated on how Stella is doing since I can't get updated on her myself. Said she would so I go outside and wait. After a few months of seen outside and just thinking about how amazing Stella is and what I would do if I lost her April came out to sit with me
NA= Kelly they should've done that to you man
K= all I care about is Stella.
NA= she's lucky to have you
K= she loves what she does April her life they can't take out her lung
NA= I get it. But since we can't reach her family it's up to the doctors to make that decision
K= but they don't know her there's nothing we can do.
( April got a look on her face and Kelly notices it and wonders what is up)
K= April what are you thinking
NA= maybe I talk to the others and talk to them and saying to Connor that you guys are her family we know what what she would want maybe that will convince Connor something to not take out her lung . I better hurry because he might be and started soon
K= that sounds great let me know
NA= ok I will see you Kelly
April's pov: I run up to the surgical waiting room and see Matt, Brett, Mouch and Herman.
NA= hey guys has some Connor started on her yet
SB= no why
NA= well I got a plan you guys listen it might work
H= sure what is it
NA= we tell Connor that you guys are like her family you see you every day and stuff but doesn't like a family and she will do the same stuff for you guys too
H= love that idea hope it works
M= here he is
H= dr. Rhodes
Cr= sorry guys I got to get scrubbed
M= we just want to talk about Stella
CR= really April
NA= hear them out
MC= we don't want you to remove her lung
SB= there has to be another option
CR= look guys understand your concerns but as her doctors we decide her best course of treatment and only Stella's family can't override that decision
H= dr. Rhodes we are her family
M= that's true she would tell you the same thing doc
( Connor just walks away from the group)
H= another walk away
A few hours later
General pov: Brett, Matt, Herman, Mouch and April were waiting to hear what was happing with Stella and witching a few seconds Connor appears in front of the them
CR= you guys put me in a terrible position. But we were able to isolate the bleed and we only had to take out a portion of her lung. It was a thorocoscopic procedure minimally invasive. That is all to say that she should be back to work in no time
M= oh thank god
H= hey dr. Rhodes you are the man
CR= yeah you guys are okay too
MC= thanks
CR= ( to April) why don't you bring Kelly back in
M= thanks doc
Kelly's pov: I am sitting outside still waiting to hear what is going on with Stella and if the plan work to save her lung when April yells my name to come to her.
K= hey what's going on nobody's text me in a while
NA= well I got some good news for you
K= what is the news
NA= well you can come back into the hospital now Stella still has her lung in her body and should be back to work soon. So would you like to come in and wait untill she wakes up
K= yes please and thanks April
NA= no problem
About a half hour
April's pov: I am in Stella's room checking on her and making her vitals are still good and then she starts to walk up and moving.
NA= hey take it easy Stella
S= where am I and where is Kelly
NA= you are at Chicago med you got hurt bad at the fire now you are doing better and Kelly is just outside. Do you want the get him for you
S= yes please
NA= ok I will give me one second try not to move much ok
S= ok
April walk to the door and opens it and see Kelly staring off into space
NA= hey Kelly she is awake and want to see you
(So they walk inside the room Kelly get close to Stella bed. The both look at each for a second without saying a word)
S= stop it
( they both laugh and Kelly then leans in and kisses Stella on the forehead and then grabs her hand)
K= I am so glad your back
S= of course
General pov: Kelly then just broke down and lay his head down Stella's chest and she kiss the top of his head. They stay like that for a few. Kelly then pick his head up and look for a chair so he can sit down beside her bed.
K= maybe I should of told you earlier to be careful and not you telling me to be
S= yea whatever I guess my plans I want to happen aren't going to happen now
K= I am ok with that as long as you are ok. You scared me today, do you know that
S= yea I know I was trying to make sure you were safe I wasn't thinking I guess
K= yea. Ok now go back to sleep you need all the rest you need ok I will be right here when you wake up
