The "Emmy's Story" series begins when Emmy isfour-years-old and quickly progresses to focuson her teen years and beyond. In this book, "New Priorities: Emmy's Story, Part 16,"Kenny must make a choice affecting Emmy's life. Warren looked at Kenny, who had his eyes closed."My son, Eric, was the first on the scene. He said she was alive."Kenny opened his eyes and nodded."Do you know what happened?" Rory asked. Sanders explained, "Her car was hit as she entered an intersection. The other driver ran a red light."Kenny groaned, let his head fall back against the headrestbut then turned and stared out the window. Dr. Peter Bausch returned with another doctor."Who are you and what do you know?" Diane demanded."This is Dr. Powlus. He is the chief neurologist," Dr. Bausch answered."What can you tell us?" Kenny asked. Dr. Powlus spoke using medical terms and then added,"I believe the best thing for your wife would be to placeher in a coma to allow the swelling to subside.""How long will she be in a coma?" Diane asked."That depends on how soon the swelling is reduced. It varies, but you canexpect her to be in the coma for several days at least.""If that's the best for Emmy, I will agree to what you said," Kenny replied."But I want to see her before you do that.""I will agree to that, but be prepared for how she looks," Dr. Powlus said. Dr. Bausch led Kenny to the room."You can talk to her for as long as you need."
