your mom would understand yeah according to her pilot's bottle of scotch is the
only thing that helped her survive when she was trapped in that cave with Dorian
Natalie your mom's gonna beat this you know why because she's a fighter yeah
but what if she doesn't win this time
my bets on her I tell you I just I just can't sit here doing nothing all we can
do now is pray for a donor I guess I will see about that so bad wishing for
somebody died so mom can live what do you say little brother can you put in a
good word for mom with the man upstairs hey got your message what's up Joe's in
town because of his mom did he get in touch he wants us to get together he
says his mom's in really bad shape put me through to the surgeon general
they should be canon the general I'm gonna cut right to the chase I've got
daughter-in-law needs a heart transplant and I I gotta have your help
whatever it takes and whatever it costs
Dorian what the hell happened here he lost brain function flat-lined and the
attending brought him back Ben was DNR the last thing he wanted was to be kept
alive on machines well he and Vicki made that perfectly clear Larry I know what
it says on his chart and why the hell did you run a code on him read this read
it then tell me you think I did the wrong thing
oh David are you who's that on phone oh no I was just calling the nanny again
yeah I haven't been away from ace for this long ever and he's colicky and well
that's what mrs. Franklin is there for just let her handle it okay I need you
here with me right now I know listen I I know I haven't been straight with you
about everything and we should talk about it but I can't do it here now with
everybody around I agree now's not the time but we will we definitely will
Vicki's condition is Steve I there's some bad news about Ben what about a
half an hour ago he started hemorrhaging in his brain when the bleeding didn't
stop he went into cardiac arrest now the medical team got the heart started but
well there's there's no brain activity
is he dead without the machinery to breathe for him he's brain dead machines
can take over for a while but sooner or later his organs will stop functioning
Ben would not want to be put on a machine he signed some kind of an order
it's a do not resuscitate I know that we all know that we know what Ben's wishes
were but in this case there there were extenuating circumstances no I know this
is a very bad time but there are some decisions that have to be made
life and death decisions
you're right to the hospital you know some company you know someone who's from
the other side of the trenches yeah but I am headed to the garage oh I'm not
headed that way I still think you're cute
so what are we talking about Joe are you afraid to see him I don't know so much
has changed since he went to London I mean I feel like I'm just a totally
different person well you are you have grown a hell of a lot since he left well
what if it's not real I mean I always tried to be a better person when we were
married but what if I'm just better at faking it that's true you are pretty good
at that I guess I'll have to take your word for it you mind if I ask you a
question shoot are you still in love with Joe is that why you're afraid to
see him he fought hard paw like a real Buchanan
you all right okay what they say boy would never ever give up I know this is
a blow but a decision has to be made quickly Ben's organs are only going to
be viable for another few hours if this is true dr. Bullock are you sure yes yes
Ben's blood type is a be positive so he's definitely that and other factors
for some unknown reason heaven knows why he had the test done years ago to prove
it that's weird it's almost like he knew something was gonna happen well is this
some sort of a protocol list yes but see Vicky's in failure she's been bumped
to number one that sounds really bad when you see a failure what do you think
that Ben knew that she was in trouble so he just let him some thigh
no no my son fight to the bitter end guys we're gonna make a decision we
can tell the truth well we can't because it's against regulations for the
recipient to know the daughter's name who cares mom would want to know you know
you don't have to be the one to tell them anyway actually I think it should be
one of us we can't tell her we can't tell her now she she's so weak the
trauma could kill her Jess come on mom's gonna find out anyway and what if she
wants to see Ben before she gets operated on and maybe knowing that it's
Ben's heart we'll give her extra strength okay but are we willing to take that chance
where's everybody I could see his face he was standing in a field in this field
of white flowers and all of a sudden all the flowers turned red and then he was
looking at me and he smiled and he waved he turned around he walked away and I
called him and he turned back and he smiled again and he said something but I
couldn't hear him and I think something's wrong I think something's
happened to him it's just a dream no will you please to be fair please go see if he's
alright everything's fine no please please just go see what's happened to him I'll go if you just
promise me to calm down one life to live on ABC brought to you by Huggies

new my wife and kids eight seven central ABC tonight congratulations Rick Hurst
Emmy winner for outstanding supporting actor on general hospital you positive
yes I'm positive but I'm just afraid if we tell her then look I know I know you
want to tell the truth too but ethically I cannot be a part of that you sorry I'm
sorry I'll be in the waiting room Vicky knows
Ben's in trouble I'm not gonna lie to her since when maybe she doesn't want
Ben's heart inside of her okay it's a constant reminder that he's gone you
know maybe she doesn't live with that it's her only shot so we take it all
right we don't tell her she has the transplant anonymously she has a chance
to survive that way she's gonna know that Ben's gone she already knows telling
you they look some kind of connection Todd's right no mom's smart enough to
figure out what's going on I mean and do we want to risk that after the
transplant she's too fragile right now later maybe years she's tough she can
take it I mean come on think about it guys mom's gonna have Ben's heart
beating inside of her I mean once the initial shock is gone she's gonna see
how wonderful it is the bottom line is it's Vicky's decision you know what no
one cares what you think if it wasn't for my mother you wouldn't have me
accepted as part of this family Kevin stop it he is very much a part of this
family and his opinion does matter this man has no say about my son's heart any
decisions made about my son Ben belong to his mother Renee who brought the boy
into the world you got that whatever let Vicky decide
Larry okay what's happened to Ben something's happened I know something's
wrong you need to calm down no if something's happened to him I need to
know I'm gonna get one of the kids to come in here I say we take a vote what
are you president of the student council just step back to our voting I say we
tell her definitely I think she'd want to know she'll know whether we tell her
I'm not maybe later but not until after the surgery
