Cory's surgery went on for six hours and thirty-seven minutes. When the doc stepped out of the operating room, everyone hopped up and hustled over.
"You all can chill, the surgery went smoothly. Now it's just about watching his recovery." The doc said.
"Thank you so much." Rosalynn quickly thanked.
The doc tipped his hat, then turned and left.
"He's gonna be alright." Wayne comforted Rosalynn in a soft voice.
Rosalynn looked at him, her eyes brimming with a smile as she nodded.
In the following days, Cory's recovery went well. Even if there was a small hiccup, Rosalynn and Wayne would be on top of it. During this time, though there were some bumps in the road, they safely navigated through each one.
On the sixth day, Hilaria came to visit Cory with Ivy.
Ivy ran up to Cory and asked him, "Brother, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, your big bro will be home soon." Cory nodded in response.
Ivy excitedly said, "Your room in the new house is all set up, and I even drew a picture for you! When you're better, we can go see it together!"
Cory nodded again in agreement.
"Also, Granny Hilaria will come to the new house with us, she loves it too!" Ivy excitedly said.
Then Ivy started to babble to Cory about her recent days. Rosalynn watched them from the doorway, tears welling up in her eyes.
Wayne walked over, and Rosalynn glanced back at him. "Look at her, she won't shut up as soon as she sees her brother. We're not chatterboxes, who does she take after?"
Wayne chuckled, "Maybe me, I was a chatterbox when I was a kid."
Rosalynn rolled her eyes at him, "You think everything about your daughter is inherited from you, don't you? Don't flatter yourself."
In the week since Cory's bone marrow transplant, it seemed that Wayne and Rosalynn's relationship had gotten closer, at least they could freely joke around now.
