Part 12

I stayed in the hospital for another week or so and there wasn't a time that I woke up that either Heather or Mike wasn't sitting near me. This one morning a different Doctor came in and offered to ease my pain, but had to use another drug that I would get addicted too just so they can use another drug to curve my new addiction. Now do you understand why this is so confusing? Even Heather and Mike was confused on how that made any sense at all. I started crying to show I want pleased and I think that they both understood my cry, they declined the Doctor's offer, and asked when was I going to be released. The Doctor tried to explain to them the importance of this new drug and how it will help me sleep better at night. Mike stood up,

"You're not getting her addicted to anything else, she's been through enough already."

"We can always get a court order, since she's under the State." The Doctor said.

"You can try! We'll have our attorneys tie up this hospital for the next decade for trying to force an unethical practice on us. Should I make that phone call now?" Mike said sternly, awaiting an answer.

"No Sir, I just wanted to make everyone's life a little easier. I'll have the nurse bring you the release forms." The Doctor said before he walked out of the room.

"The nerve of that guy, I can't believe this is how they're willing to treat her because she's in the system. You need to talk to her mom so she can get placed in a decent rehab so we can get this over with." Heather said to Mike.

"We'll have this conversation later, not in front of Emily. I will say, it's easier said than done. She has to want it for herself." Mike replied, kissing Heather on the forehead.

Heather picked me up and started to sing me a song about monkeys jumping on a bed. I don't know where she was going with this song but the faces she made, made me giggle. Heather started laughing and called for Mike.

"Sweetheart, come here. She just laughed."

Mike ran into the room where my crib was and told her to do it again. Heather started singing, I laughed at the right time, and they smiled but was also crying. I don't understand the reason for their tears, then it happens again. My eyes started to roll when I heard Mike calling for a Doctor, but before I knew it, all I saw was black; darkness.
