"You can go in now," I prompt Judy who's still staring at the door.

"Okay, yes," she answers, her voice steady. She passes me, moving quickly but carefully, like she's afraid any sudden movement might break him.

I sit on the seat outside the room and take out my cell phone to make a call to Anne about bringing Abby here after school. Suddenly I hear alarms coming from Jayden's room. What the actual hell? My heart leaps into my throat as I see the medical team rushing toward Jayden's door. I jump up but they block me from going in.

"Sorry, no one in the room right now."

Judy is ushered out a few seconds later, looking distraught.

I nod and head back into the room, my heart racing. Dr. Green steps up beside Jayden and I walk up to Jayden and touch his cheek. "It's me. Are you okay? You scared us."
