Who comes to see Johnny and Dally in the hospital?

In Chapter 6, Pony is sitting in the waiting room waiting to hear news about how Johnny and Dally are doing when Sodapop and Darry walk in the hospital. Pony is elated to see Soda and is indignant towards Darry until he notices that Darry is crying. Ponyboy finally realizes that Darry loves and cares about him for the first time in his life. Darry, Soda, and Pony sit in the waiting room anticipating news about Johnny and Dally's condition. Sodapop begins to joke around in front of the reporters until Darry finally convinces the doctor to tell them how the boys are doing. The doctor tells the boys that Dally's arm is badly burned, but he will have full use of it in a couple of weeks. The doctor then tells the boys that Johnny is in critical condition and suffers from a broken back.
