BROKEN, YET UNBROKEN

It was a sunny day, the skies were blue, and the waters were flowing gently and calmly. You could hear the laughter of children playing in the forest," "One, two, three here I come, ready when you are" yelled one of the kids. it was perfect, absolutely perfect until..."Help! help!" It wasn't so perfect anymore.

The adults approached the kids hurriedly "What happened?!" They asked the kids and none could speak they all kept looking in a particular direction, a hole to be exact where one of the kids had fallen into while playing a game of hide and seek, They hurriedly swung into action while the parents of the child were kept from approaching the accident.

The doors to the park hospital were swung open with so much force, that it could have fallen off its hinges, and the child who had fallen into the ditch was rushed in with the parents in tow hurriedly demanding medical assistance for their child.

"Doctor Bane" the mother of the child called out and rushed the doctor who began to check the child's vitals." What happened?" he asked, still focused on the child before him," She fell into a ditch and lost consciousness and..and..oh moon goddess please don't let my baby girl suffer I beg of you" the mother cried out.

"We need to carry out an immediate surgery on her, she's lost so much blood, and her hip bone is disfigured we need to fix it before it's too bad" Doctor Bane stated while signaling to his assistant to get a consent form for the parents of the child to sign before the surgery can take place.

"Do whatever needs to be done Doctor, you have our consent just...we don't want to lose her please" the father of the child spoke up for the first time since the incident." You have my word" stated Doctor Bane

Two hours, two whole long-suffering hours before

the surgery was concluded, and the family of the patient and family friends were waiting patiently and praying for some sort of miracle" Hey it's okay, she's a strong kid and I know she will survive" Luna said before the parents could reply the doors to the theater opened and Doctor Bane walked out and everyone stood to their feet and attacked the doctor with questions."How's my baby, is she okay?" "Were there any complications?" "When can we see her?"

Everyone was asked all at once, trying to overwhelm the doctor." She is fine and we managed to stop the bleeding and fix her hip bone but none of you can see her till tomorrow, she needs rest..lots of it" the doctor replied to all their questions "But" this caught the attention of the family "But? What's going on Doc?" asked the father to the child.

"I need to speak with you two in my office right now" stated the doctor and he escorted them to his office and gave them a seat" There will be a problem in the future for your child, "he said

The parents stared at him, holding their breaths expecting the worst." Your child will develop a limp, and to be honest a bad painful limp which could become part of her for life" the doctor said uncomfortably.

It was perfect until..it wasn't so perfect anymore, especially for the broken child.
