So Jesse went into the bathroom got cloth wet it with cold came back out", put it on Luke's forehead and prayed that this would break the fever. Meanwhle out in the hallway Luke's doctor was just coming into Luke's room. he said " hey Jesse how you doing ?", Jesse replied " well .. I'm very worried about my boy here he ain't be doing so well so far and how did he get sick? Then the doctor said " well um..

Cue Lori or Jessi

Lori replied " i'm here because i missed Luke sadly when I arrived here i got some bad news. I found out that after me , Jesse , and JJ left Luke suffered a convulsion ", now he's in a coma due to his fever being high and so far I've been trying to bring his fever down . Cue Jessi or Lori

" Oh ... Hello JJ I'm so happy you called listen JJ tell Jesse that Luke is sick ". He spiked a fever of 101 he is not doing well I came by the hospital to check on him but unfortunetely when I arrived here he was unconcious ". The doctor said " before he tries to find out why Luke got sick ", he wants to talk to Uncle Jesse about Luke's progress and to tell him about the fever. Cue Lori , Jessi

Then Luke replied " yep I remember alright that was so funny", then for some reason Luke started feeling sleepy he was having trouble keeping his eyes openso Jesse said " hey y'all how about we let little Luke get some sleep ". So after the Dukes left Luke's nurse came in noticed the sleeping meds in his IV had taken effect, she poked him a couple of times test his nerves, she checked his IV and noticed that it was a little low so she put up a new one.then she left and reported to Luke's doctor as to which he said okay .

Happy 57th birthday Tom ", even though your over the hill you are still hot!!. Hope your heart is filled with joy , happiness, and have a wonderful day.

Then Luke replies " I know I can be a headache but I love you darlin ",. Jesse then tells Lori " Lori maybe we should let Luke get some sleep honey ", to which Lori replies " okay Jesse that sounds like a good idea it'll be nice to sleep once again in a bed instead of a chair then Luke says " goodbye to Lori.

Then Lori sighed and looked up at Jesse " I'm sorry Jesse it's just he makes me so mad ". Jesse laughed and then he said " I know honey but he is frustrated right now maybe if you tried to be a little more patient with him and realize that he is in alot of pain right now. Lori said " I suppose your right Jesse I should've acted more mature but if he would just stop being so pigheaded I wouldn't get so angry with him ", then Jesse said " would it help you if I went and talked to Luke ?", then Lori said " that would be fine with me. Cue Jessi , Lori

Finally Bo was ready to go they quickly climbed into the General Lee took off ". Little did they know that a certain sheriff was slowly following them ", then Bo looked into the rear view mirror and saw Rosco then he said " Oh Shoot we ain't got time for this hold on JJ ", then the chase was on to the hospital . Meanwhile Luke was still asleep while the nurse was going over his vitals , which looked good so far except that his head injury was still the same. happily though Bo , JJ managed to shake Rosco were now at the hospital, they were now standing at the nurse's desk saying their here to see Luke Duke. Then the nurse said " okay he is on the 10th floor ", so then they made their way to the elevator went up to the 10th floor when they arrived to Luke's room they saw he was still asleep so Bo slowly walked over to Luke's bed JJ said " Hey Luke I brought a photo album of the family thinking maybe you could remember who are by looking at this album " I'm your sister by the way. Cue Lori or Jessi

I just love your story it is such a tearjerker though ", Poor Luke death is so sad, My heart breaks for him the loss of a loved one is the hardest pain of all.

Luke was still sleeping like an angel in his room the doctor wanted to keep Luke for 1 more week just to be sure that he is okay won't fall back into the coma again. meanwhile in the hallway Jesse was thinking about Lori's suggestion : Lori I don't really know if that will work but it's worth a try or maybe Bo could convince Luke he ain't 17. Lori just sighed and said " I don't know what to do with Luke it's like he doesn't remember anything about what happened last year or last week he has totally forgetton that were getting married i don't even know now if that is gonna happen ", who would want to marry a man that has no memory of who he is or anything for that matter ", Jesse looked down at Lori and said " well Lori you just have to give Luke time I'm sure he'll remember. Cue Lori , Jesse

Luke tried to smile but it was more of a half smile ", his heart was broken he didn't cry, he felt like crying but he was always the brave one never wanting to look weak at least he still had Lori , JJ and his family now if onlly he could remeber the past seven years. unfortunetely his mind was still a mess he can't remember anything that happend while he was in his deep slumber locked away somewhere deep in his mind ", then Luke began to feel frustrated because he can't remember anything including his real age he still thinks that he is 17 not 26 then suddenly he felt tired decided to try to take a nap. So as Luke was sleeping Daisy , Jesse , JJ and Lori was talking about a way to get Luke to remember then Daisy thought of maybe shwong him some old photo's of him and Bo , then they still couldn't get around the problem of Luke thinking that he is 17 ", . Cue Lori

When Lori came in Luke said " Well hey Lori I don't remember you I guess because I'm only 17 so we never met ", I'm told that we are gonna be married . then Lori looked at Luke strangely she said " Luke it's me Lori your girlfriend we met in Atlanta at nascar ", Then Luke said " I don't remember that ... I'm sorry but I only I have one girlfriend and her name is suellen were going to the prom together ", then Lori said " Luke your not 17 anymore your 24 years old you are not in high school pleae tell me you know that. Then Luke said " I don't know what your talkin' about I'm in high school and I have a test tomorrow in history class my teacher said that I have to get an A on the test. Then Lori looked at JJ and said " what is going on with him he acts like he doesn't know me at all ", then JJ said " he has amnesia from being in a coma for so long hopefully he'll remember who you are one day and then you two wil be married forever and ever. Cue Lori , Jesse

Suddenly Luke made a slight moan but he didn't stir he seemed to be in a lighter coma ", so Lori said " Luke can you hear me ?", Luke didn't answer so she said " please baby wake up I need you , miss you please wake up your sister JJ wants to see her brother. Please Luke make some sorta sign that you can hear me ?", he just layed their so she picked up his hand that didn't have the IV in it and prayed for Luke to wake up then the doctor came in to check on Luke she said " he still won't wake up doc I'm worried ". The Doctor said " well their's no time table for this he'll wake up hopefully soon or he could end up a vegetable which I hope won't happen but he may have some swelling in his brain which is preventing him from waking up but unfortunetly I can't run any tests until he wakes up ", sooner would be better ", then he went to lift Luke's left eyelid . shined the light in his eyes moved the eye up , down noticed some movement closed it then he went to lift the right one did the same thing ", then he wrote on Luke's chart eye movement improved but not quite up to par ", then he turned to Lori it appears that he is in a lighter coma but only time will tell when we wakes up then he walked out . Then Lori said " goodnight Luke hopefully your dreaming about me or Bo I love you, sadly Luke still had his fever he was still hot hopefully that will all go away in time. Cue Lori, Jesse

Meanwhile in Luke's room the nurse was just finishing up on Luke so far nothing changed. The last thing she did was check his fever she wrote down on Luke's chart a little cooler, meanwhile in the waiting room JJ was gonna go see Luke so she made her way to the elevator went up to the 10th floor when she saw Luke just laying their all peaceful . she tried to be brave but was scared out of her wits she said " please Luke wake up ", ''come back to us we need you ... we love you very much and miss you.

Meanwhile in the waiting room Bo , Daisy , Jesse was trying not to worry it wasn't easy", Bo tried reading a nascar magazine about richard petty , Daisy was watching a movie , and Jesse was trying to comfort JJ by telling her everything will work out in the end. Back in Luke's room : Lori noticed Luke's hand move she said " OH MY GOD " , Luke can you hear me ?", she didn't recieve a reply which only made her feel hopeless, " c'mon baby you have to come back to us wake up Luke we miss you very much, then his nurse came in to check his stats , IV bag which seemed filled still ". Then Lori mentiond to the nurse that Luke moved his hand then the nurse said "well maybe he's coming out of the coma or it could have been just a reflex I'll tell the doctor, then she went to check Luke's pulse when he started going into convulsions ", the nurse told Lori to leave the room at once and go get the doctor ", so she left went downstairs found the doctor in the cafteria eating a tuna sandwitch she said " Luke is in trouble. Cue Lori , Jesse

A couple minutes later Bo came out of Luke's room made his way to the elevator to go back down to the first floor", his eyes were red , puffy he felt gulity also because it was his idea to go swimming at the revine hopefully Luke will wake up soon. Meanwhile back in Luke's room the doctor was checking him out he tried calling Luke out about 3 times but unfortunetely Luke still didn't respond the doctor was getting pretty worried ", then the doctor got out his pen light then he shined the light in Luke's eye he still wasn't getting any eye movement which wasn't good still their's his back injury. The doctor got to thinking that maybe he should put Luke on a traction which would take some of the pressure off of his back so he called his nurse to go get one ", when she got back she brought two orderly's with her which helped the doctor lift Luke off the bed then put him on the tractor laying on his stomach but sadly he was still unconicous. Cue Lori

Finally the doctor came out of the ER with a sad look on his face ", he hated telling familes sad news about their loved ones but sometimes it happens. Uncle Jesse was the first to look up he said " hey Doc how's my boy ?", " well mr. duke I wish I had better news but Luke is in a deep coma ", unfortunetley he also has a fractured spine ", " Holy Cow " said Bo. Then Bo asked the doc if they could see Luke the doctor replied " you can but only one at a time ", then Bo said " okay I liked to see Luke first which room is in ?'", " room 101 he still unconicious though so he won't know your their. Then the doctor replied " c'mon Bo I'll show you the way to his room ", so Bo and the doctor walked down a long hallway until they came to elevators went all the way up to the 10th floor which was the ICU department when they arrived to his room the doctor opened the door and when Bo saw how Luke looked so still laying their with an IV , oxygen mask he said " Oh Luke i'm so sorry ... I didn't think you would end up getting hurt I .. just wish you would wake up and I could see that smile again please wake up Luke. Cue Lori , Jessi .
