Coma
The doctor gave it to her straight, her husband Jan was in a deep coma. They had no idea when he would wake up or if he would ever wake up. They had seen cases like this before and it was all up in the air. Time would tell if he would ever come out of it and be the same man.
After hearing all of that Gertuda broke down into tears. She was heartbroken to see her husband like that, she loved him with all of her heart. Her children were crying as well, they wanted their dad back. They held his hand and tried to talk to him, but he was out.
