All My Children - 2001 - A Complicated Heart

All My Children, 2001, Bianca brought a gift bag into Laura's hospital room and told her she was looking better. Bianca asked what she wanted first, gossip or gifts and Laura said "bring on the goods!". Bianca brought her friend several magazines, essential oils and headbands to help with "hospital bed-head". Laura was touched by Bianca's thoughtfulness and tried to apologize for everything. Bianca said she was sorry too and they smiled at each other. Meanwhile outside the room Brooke was conferring with Dr. Bryant, the cardiologist. He told Brooke that Laura has a congenital heart defect. Brooke asked if surgery was the next step to correct it but he told her it wasn't that simple, that there was a complication. He told Brooke that Laura may have a virus that attacks the heart, but he won't know for sure until the test results are back. Brooke asked how serious but he refused to speculate and then got called away. Brooke went back into Laura's room and told Bianca it was sweet of her to bring gifts for Laura. She told Laura that the doctor said her respiratory crisis was over and that she's on the mend. Laura could tell there was something else and tried to get Brooke to tell her. Her mother told her that the drug she took may have aggravated another problem and that she may have a virus. Laura wanted to know more but Brooke avoided the questions, saying she had to make a call to Tempo and would be back. After she left the room she found Dr. Bryant who said he was still waiting for the results. Brooke wanted to know what exactly he was looking for in the test results and what he thinks is going on with Laura. He stated again that they'd just have to wait for the test results to know for sure. Brooke wanted to know where David Hayward was and Dr. Bryant said he thought he'd been taken to the Pine Valley Police Station. Brooke grabbed Laura's chart and ran out of the hospital. Bianca was still with Laura and they discussed Brooke's love for her daughter. Laura said she really loves Brooke too and that she didn't mean what she'd said the night before, about Brooke not being her real mom. Bianca said she'd never tell anyone ever. Laura wanted to be briefed on the latest chatter. Bianca told her Jack had gotten the web site removed, and that her mother won't let her press charges against Shannon. She then mentioned Leo and Greenlee's engagement and Laura said it was okay; she was over him. Brooke rushed to David's cell and thrust the chart between the bars. Leo realized that Laura was in the hospital and left before hearing David's evaluation of the charts. David told Brooke that the virus that Laura might have is one that could lead toward total heart failure. Brooke was devastated and was desperate to get David out of the cell and to her daughter's bedside. David told her there was no way and that Dr. Bryant was a competent doctor. Brooke tearfully said she wanted David to help Laura, that he was the one that could save Laura. David sadly said "I'm sorry."
