EPISODE 113
A hole in the heart
INT. TEACHING HOSPITAL,
IBADAN- AFTERNOON
Wemi sleeps
on the bed with different tubes connected as Wemimo sits next to his bed on the
chair brooding. A few seconds later, Ann comes into the room with Bintu
ANN
Hey!
Wemimo smiles and sits
upright when he see them
BINTU
Hey,
how are you? How are you holding up?
WEMIMO
Fine
Ann goes to the other side
of the bed to look at Wemi
ANN
How
is he?
WEMIMO
Still
the same
BINTU
What
did the doctor say is wrong with him?
WEMIMO
They
are still running some test, they don’t know yet
ANN
Where
is Imade in all of this?
WEMIMO
She
has exam, remember
ANN
Oh
that is true, we are writing exam
WEMIMO
And
how is it?
At that
moment, a young male doctor and a nurse comes in. Wemimo stands up immediately
WEMIMO
Hello,
Doctor Ejiro
The doctor goes to check on
Wemi
DOCTOR
EJIRO
Hello
Wemimo
He uses his stethoscope to
check for his heartbeat
ANN
As
you can see there is no difference
DOCTOR
EJIRO
The
good thing is that we know what is wrong with him now
Ann scoffs
ANN
Finally
DOCTOR
EJIRO
Where
is Imade?
WEMIMO
She
is still in school, what is wrong with him?
DOCTOR
EJIRO
Maybe
we should talk somewhere private
WEMIMO
They
will get to know eventually, so what is wrong?
DOCTOR
EJIRO
I
have good news and a bad one
WEMIMO
I
want the bad one first
DOCTOR
EJIRO
The
test result shows that your son has Ventricular Septal defect
WEMIMO
What
does that mean?
DOCTOR
EJIRO
It
means Wemi has a hole in the wall between the ventricles in his heart
IMADE
He
has a hole in his heart
They all look at the
entrance when Imade stands
WEMIMO
Hey!
Imade moves closer to them
IMADE
He
has a hole in his heart?
DOCTOR
EJIRO
Yes,
he does. The hole is causing oxygenated blood to mix with deoxygenated blood
which makes his heart work harder than normal and this is what is causing his
breathlessness
Tears springs down Imade’s
face
DOCTOR
EJIRO
Hey, calm down
IMADE
How
can I calm down? You just said my son has a hole in his heart
ANN
You
said you have a good news, what is it?
DOCTOR
EJIRO
The
good news is that the hole is small and he is young, with careful monitoring,
the heart will heal itself up
WEMIMO
And
if it does not
DOCTOR
EJIRO
When
he is older and if the hole is still causing a strain on his heart, then we do
a catheter procedure and we close the hole with an implantable device but we
are hopeful that the heart will heal itself
Imade nods
as she cleans the tear from her eyes away as she looks at Wemi in the bed
DOCTOR
EJIRO
This
is not a death sentence, your boy is going to be fine
WEMIMO
Thank
you doctor
DOCTOR
EJIRO
We
will like to keep him here and monitor him for a while
WEMIMO
Alright
sir
DOCTOR
EJIRO
Have
a nice day
The doctor
leaves. Imade sobs silently as she looks at Wemi sleeping on the bed
IMADE
He
must be in so much pain
Wemimo drags her into his
arms and hugs her
WEMIMO
Hey,
he is going to be fine
Ann sees Bintu glaring at
the couple
ANN
I
need water, Bintu comes on let go
Ann drags Bintu out
Next on Why?
BINTU
No, am not…. On the day we were suppose to go to Abuja for the fashion show, they decided to get a divorce on the staircase to their apartment and I was here
ANN
Seriously?
BINTU
Yes
ANN
If you were there when they made the decision that means you must know the reason
BINTU
Sort of
ANN
