When Langston got injured, Dorothy's routine, which previously was a simple back and forth, suddenly included frequent visits to the hospital.

Luckily, Langston was a strong guy and bounced back quickly, not giving Dorothy too much to worry about.

After spending a week in the hospital, Everett grew concerned that Langston might not be comfortable there and worried that Dorothy was overextending herself by running back and forth. So, he arranged for Langston to be discharged and continue his recovery at home, with a doctor making house calls daily.
