Visiting Dad has become regular since he was put in the hospital. Well at least for everyone else. What's less normal is the fact Henrik stays with him all of the time. He never leaves the hospital. I over heard Mr. Jamie say he threw a fit when they tried to kick him out, eventually they got him to leave the room long enough to fill the overnight form, where he promptly went back to Chase's room and sat with him.

Today I get to see Dad!, Mr. Jamie said he'd stay behind since they only allow three visitors. It's been a while since I've been able to talk with him, I'm really excited!

We arrive at the hospital, Jamie immediately went to sign us in. Mr. Jamie had a similar conversation as Jackie. Then a guy with a shirt that said "Manager" came out. I didn't catch what he said, but I assume it wasn't entirely pleasant. That's fine though, because I get to see Dad!

Mr. Jamie walked us up to the room this time, but he left us at the room, going back to the other one with all of the people.

Trey sat down in front of me before we went into the room. "Hey bud?"

"Yeah Trey?"

"You remember how you had to be really quiet last time we visited Dad?"

"Yeah, it wasn't fun, but I got to see Dad, so it's okay!"

"I know, but you got to be quiet again today. Dad probably won't respond much, so we're just going to tell him stories and stuff. Okay?"

"If I have to be quiet then how can I tell him stories?"

"You don't have to be silent, just quiet. He's having more trouble moving and speaking today than he did last time, I think they're hoping talking to us will help."

"Who are they? And what's going on with Dad?"

"Everyone I guess, and he's just not doing too well, he's trying really hard to get better though!"

"Okay. I can be quiet today. Is Mr. Henrik going to be speaking for Dad again today?"

"Dr. Henrik, and no. I don't think Dad is going to be talking today."

"Okay." I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I really want to see Dad. I was hoping we could play something today, or something, but talking is fine I guess.

The two of us walk into the room, this time Henrik isn't sitting as close to Dad, but he's on the bed Dad is sitting on. Henrik seems to be upset, and Dad doesn't look at us as we walk in, he's just staring at the ground.

"Hey boys, how are you two doing today?" Mr. Henrik says, he looks more toward Trey than me, so I assume that he's talking to Trey.

"I'm fine Henrik, you? I know a lot has gone on."

"I'm fine. Nothing I can't handle. How about you Greyson?" I snap back to where I'm sitting instead of trying to answer the infinite questions I have about Dad to answer Henrik.

"I'm confused."

"About what?"

"Everything. I don't know why Dad is here, and no-one can seem to give me an answer other than he's having trouble moving. He looks okay, and last time he was talking and moving and stuff. But he hasn't even notice me and Trey are here yet today."

"I'm sorry Greyson. I'm sure he has noticed, he is just having more trouble today than last time."

"Why? I thought he'd be doing better."

"Because, from what I understand, your Dad needs help from me, and since last time I had to go away, so he couldn't get the help he needed to continue to recover."

"Oh... Well what can you do that other people can't Mr. Henrik?"

Mr. Henrik sighed before continuing, "I'm not entirely sure Greyson."

"Can Dad hear me?"

"We don't know that either, but there is a good chance he can."

"Okay, well get better soon Dad! I miss you! And I love you!"

Henrik and Trey seemed to smile as they continued to talk about something else. I eventually ended up sitting almost directly in front of Dad, talking about how grownup stuff is boring and we had our own little conversation outside of Henrik and Trey, even if he couldn't respond. I kept leaving him places to respond though! I hoped that he would, but Henrik just kept saying he wasn't doing well today.

I really like doing confused child chapters. It's so much fun because my heart hurts for this child that has no idea what's going on and the child doesn't even exist. Anyway, here's your upload!
