Within in 4 hours I had booked a flight to Honduras to go and check on Lisa. I left Ti and Ro with the kids because I knew they couldn't handle this right now. Honestly I couldn't handle all the emotions that would come along with both of them together. So it was best they stayed in Atlanta. Plus they had to handle the media aspect of everything. I finally landed in Honduras at 2:30 in the afternoon; I went straight from the airport to the hospital. I didn't get a hotel room cause I am not leaving Lisa's side until she is released and we are going home. I got to the hospital Ron and Rai where there sitting with Lisa.


How is she? I asked coming into the room. The same, the swelling is still there. Doctors says they don't think it will come down in the next day. They want us to seriously consider pulling the plug. I took Ron's seat next Lisa and took her hand. I never thought in my life I would have to see her like this, even after all of the hospital visits that Andre put her through I've never seen her look like this. Rai and Ron, we are not pulling the plug on her. I don't care if I have to sit in this hospital room for the next 5 years holding her hand hand and praying, we are not doing it. You two go get some rest I'll stay here with her. We will be back in a couple of hours Ron said helping Rai out the room. Hey baby I am here, if you can hear me please give me some sort of sign. I knew it was a long shot, but I knew I had to keep talking to her. So I started telling her about Lo and Vi. I know she hadn't been around in the last couple of years but she loves those little girls something fierce. Baby you know what Vi asked me other day? She asked where babies come from. Can you believe that? I didn't know what to tell her so I told her you would tell her when you come home I said laughing. I know I should have just told her but I figured your explanation would be way better than mine. So be ready to explain it to them. I talked to her for a couple more hours before the doctor came into check on her.


Oh excuse me I didn't realize anyone was in here. It's okay doc. Is there any change? Honestly Ms...Its Jay'mee, you can call me Jay though. Okay Jay, we aren't seeing any change in her progress really. Some of the swelling has gone down but she still isn't responsive to the medicine. You said some of the swelling has gone down, that's good right? Doesn't that count for something? It isn't enough to really say whether she will come out the coma. Please doc just give her a few more days I know this girl like the back of my hand, she's a fighter she will come out of this. We will see if the swelling goes down more in the next 3 days, if not we have no other choice but to pull the plug. I understand, thanks doc. No problem, I'll be back in the morning to check on her if she needs anything please just call the nurse. He said heading out the door. I looked back at Li. Well Li you have 3 days to get it together I said kissing her hand.


The next 2 days I spent talking to Lisa, telling her stories about the girls, reminiscing on the old days before things went bad. Her swelling has gone down more and more each day. She still isn't responsive, but I am still holding out hope because I know she is stronger than this. The Doctor says her neck injury wasn't as bad as they originally thought so she will be able to walk again and eventually dance again once her leg heals. I pray every day that god will just please give me a sign that she will be okay. I talked to Ti and Ro last night, they're holding up okay but it's still hard for them I can hear it in their voices. I told them not to tell Lo and Vi about this, I don't need them worried. B still has Charli so I don't have to worry them with this right now. Rai and Ron have been up here for a few hours every day. I try not to let them stay to long because then they start getting depressed so they get maybe 3 hours a day before I send them back out. Right now I am telling her about how Lo and Vi decided to wash their Crayola's in the washing machine because they got dirty at school.


Li you don't even know how mad I was that they put the crayons in the washing machine. I just couldn't believe they put them in there with the white clothes.I am not even gonna tell you what happened to your favorite white shirt, lets just say they owe you one out of their allowance. I wasn't paying attention to the fact that her heart rate started to slowly pick up. It wasn't until I felt her hand grip my hand tightly that I even realized that she was coming too. Li baby can you hear me, squeeze my hand again if you can hear me. She squeezed my hand again and this time she started to move her arm. I began to cry. Yes baby that's it move your arm. Can you open your eyes for me please? Her eyes fluttered a little, and then I saw her big brown eyes. Oh my god baby you're awake. I said kissing all over her face. She couldn't speak because she still had the tube in. Let me call the nurse so they can take that out for you. I went and got the nurse to come in and take out the tube for her. Then the doctor came in.


So Ms. Lopes you finally decided to come back to us. She smiled because it was still hard for her to speak. I told you doctor she's a fighter I knew she would wake up in her own time. Well Jay your persistence in this matter really paid off for Ms. Lopes. Looking at her vitals, it looks like she's going to make a full recovery. Of course she is doctor I told you she's a fighter. How long do you think it will be before she will be released. Well we will watch her tonight and tomorrow if she continues this great progression she can be out of here by Friday afternoon. Great Thanks doctor! No problem, keep up the good work Ms. Lopes he said leaving the room. I looked over at her and she had a tear going down her face. What's the matter baby? In a soft voice she finally spoke. I am so sorry Jay, I broke the promise. Bam it wasn't your fault, you were being safe baby I know you were. Don't cry okay. I said kissing her forehead.


Once she fell back to sleep, I called everybody to let them know that she was okay. I started making arrangements to get all of us back to Atlanta on Friday evening. The next day she was even better than she was the day before. She was sitting up and I knew she was feeling better because she was cussing at the nurses for sticking her five minutes. Jay really if they stick me one more time with a damn needle I am going off in here. Lisa Nicole stop acting like a little baby it ain't even hurt you. Jay'mee Nichole I don't give a damn if it hurt or not if she does it one more time it's her ass. Fine Lisa but if you go to jail for beating the nurses down I am not bailing you out. Yes you will because you love me so you'll do it. Really who told you that? She raised an eyebrow at me like really you wanna play that game. You did, you saying you don't love me. Lisa you know I am playing, I love you so much it hurts. That's what I thought, and I love you too incase I haven't said it today. I know Li.
