2 Less than a week later, the harsh rasp of the phone shocked me
from my dream. One in the morning. Who would be calling at this hour?
Do you have a son called Scott Carl? I am with the New South Wales
Police Department. Your son was found unconscious and now hes in a
coma. He may not last the night. Ill be there as soon as I can. Please tell 10
Scott Im coming. Tell him to hang on.

5 The police had told me that Scott fell, or was pushed, two storeys
into a basement in the evening and was not found until the next morning. 25
Because of the delay, his brain swelled he had a subdural haematoma.
He had also broken his left shoulder blade, which had not been set
because they thought he was going to die.
6 I cradled him, often singing the old Welsh lullabies he had loved
as a child. I held his hands and prayed. With nowhere to go and little 30
money, I slept in Scotts room at the foot of his bed or in a chair in the
waiting room.
7 The days dragged by and Scott continued his slow decline. The
drug given to prevent seizures caused his liver to fail. His kidneys became
infected and the antibiotics they administered caused allergic reactions.
Sometimes he was so close to death all I could do was lie with him and 35
share his sufferings.
10 Hours passed. Maybe days. Or had it been just minutes? Dr. Todd
handed me the papers granting permission to donate Scotts organs, and I 45
signed. Doctors and nurses had gathered around the bed. I heard myself
saying, over and over, No, no, no ..

from Scott?
