Last part of Amazing Survival


Charlie opened his eyes.
“Dad, I am ok! You can get me out of her now,” Charlie said.
“Hun, you have to stay in her till you are better. That will be soon, ok”  Dad said wanting to get out of there too.
“Ok! Can you tell me a story of a dragon and knight. Or you can go,” Charlie said.
“I will never leave you. You are my little boy.” Dad said kissing his son on his head. Jessie and I came into hospital room.
“Jess, are you feeling like this too,” Charlie said.
“Not really,” Jessie said. 


A week later
Charlie was able to get out of his bed and he could walk. He was in his wheelchair, going out of the hospital. When, they realized that he had grown and could not go in his car seat, and they don’t have a handicapped car. So the, hospital ambulance drove Charlie and Mom to Uncle Craig’s and Aunt Marsha’s house. When, in the ambulance Charlie started talking about heaven. Mom’s mouth dropped, and started sweating, she was so surprised. Charlie is talking about how he did homework in heaven, and Jesus was his teacher, and what Jesus was wearing. Mom texted Dad and told him what was happening. Then, he wouldn’t talk about it again.

When we got to the hospital, Mom grabbed Charlie and rushed him into the hospital. Then, all the hospital attendants rushed him into surgery.  Charlie was so scared, and was screaming. But actually while he was screaming he was up in heaven sitting on Jesus’ lap. Dad could not stand the sound of his screaming; he ran down the hall and locked himself in the bathroom. He was praying hard, and thinking how many good times he had with Charlie. Tears streamed down his face, harder and harder each minute.  Mom was sitting in the hall, and crying, all of a sudden Mom thought about Jessie and I in the car. She ran out to us in the car, and we were praying for our cute little Charlie. Mom called Uncle Craig and Aunt Marsha to come pick us up. Then, mom ran back in the hospital; when the surgeon came out and told her that his lungs collapsed, and that he would probably make it. Dad came out of the bathroom, and went into the hospital room. He saw his son, sicker than he had ever seen him.

                   Amazing Survival

This is the first draft. I would love it if you would give me comments. And this is the first part of the story too.

               “Tomorrow we are going to visit Aunt Marsha and Uncle Craig in Arizona.  You need to pack your bags,” Mom said at breakfast this morning.

We started our trip early the next morning, after loading all the bags in the Sedona.
“Mom, I have a feeling that it is hard for me to breath,” 5 – year old Charlie.
“Charlie I think you are just a little car sick. You will be fine,” Mom said. When mom says your fine, you usually are, but not in this case. Mom started talking about how we are going to be very calm at Aunt Marsha’s and Uncle Craig’s house, when Charlie started gasping for breath.
“Charlie, are you ok? Charlie Gledhill seriously tell me what is wrong,” I asked in a panic voice. As the oldest I panic when my younger siblings are sick.  The only word Charlie could make out was hospital, while grasping his stomach. My dad immediately swerved to the right, and parked, and looked on the map to where the nearest hospital was. I got in the back with Charlie and was I was saying the most soothing words I could say.
