PUPS FIGHT CANCER
I DON'T OWN PAW PATROL ONLY MY OC'S
It was Monday morning. School had just started & everyone was in their 1ST class. Elias & all his friends were in Miss Spearwood's Homeroom class getting ready for the lesson.
"OK everyone today I'll be writing a series of sentences without the correct grammar in them. You have to write the sentences in your books while placing the correct grammar where it needs to be" said Miss Spearwood.
As all the kids began writing down the sentences in their books Elias suddenly felt a sharp jolt of pain in his abdomen.
"OUCH" cried Elias as he clutched his abdomen.
"Are you OK Elias?" asked Miss Spearwood.
"It was another jolt of abdominal pain" said Elias.
"You've been having those jolts of pain for a whole week. Perhaps you should get the school nurse to check it out" said Miss Spearwood.
"I think it's just cramps" said Elias.
"Are you sure?" asked Miss Spearwood.
"Yes. Other than these jolts of pain I feel perfectly fine" said Elias.
"OK. Just let me know if you need to leave the room for your abdominal pain" said Miss Spearwood.
"I will" said Elias.
Throughout the rest of the lesson everything went as normal. During class changes Elias felt another jolt.
"OW" cried Elias.
"Was that another jolt of pain?" asked Angel.
"Yes. I'll be OK" said Elias.
"OK" said Angel.
2ND period came & went without incident. At recess Elias played with Kelly on the seesaw. As they played Elias felt yet another jolt of pain in his abdomen.
"OUCH" cried Elias.
"You're having a lot of abdominal pain Elias. Are you sure you're OK?" asked Kelly.
"Yes. It's just really bad cramps" said Elias.
"OK. You seem to be having a lot of them" said Kelly.
"I'm sure they'll go away soon" said Elias.
The rest of recess was uneventful. Throughout the next few classes & lesson changes Elias continued to get sharp jolts of pain in his abdomen. Despite everyone's concerns he told them that everything was fine. It was lunchtime when the next jolt of pain happened.
"OW" cried Elias.
"I think there's something wrong with you Elias. I don't think those pains are cramps" said Ace.
"I agree. You really need to seek medical attention" said Carlos.
"There's a chance it'll only get worse the longer you ignore it" said Danny.
"I don't know what's causing this pain, but I have a feeling it isn't good" said Katie.
"None of us want to see you in bad health. Please don't ignore the pain" said Kelly.
"There's a chance it might be a symptom of an illness" said Mayabella.
"The last thing any of us want is for your health to deteriorate. Please take care of yourself" said Ryder.
"I don't think it's anything serious. Other than these pains there's nothing wrong with me. I feel fine" said Elias.
Everyone appeared to be sceptical of Elias' claims. They had a feeling that something wasn't right. Nonetheless they didn't force or pressure Elias to seek medical attention. Elias had another jolt of pain during last period. He continued to brush it off as cramps. After school finished Angel, Elias & Kelly went to the Lookout to hang out with Ryder & the pups. They all went to the park & played together. As they did so Elias felt another jolt of pain.
"OUCH" cried Elias.
"Elias are you OK?" asked Chase.
"I can give you a check up if you want" said Marshall.
"These jolts of pain have lasted an entire week. That's a possible sign of a serious health problem" said Rocky.
"I really don't think you should brush it off so easily. It might be something other than cramps" said Rubble.
"Whatever it is you need to get it checked out. Otherwise you'll end up feeling worse" said Skye.
"I'm starting to get really concerned. It's not normal to have that many jolts of pain on a regular basis" said Zuma.
"Don't worry about me. It's probably just a phase I'm going through. I'm sure these cramps will go away by themselves" said Elias.
Everyone continued to remain suspicious about Elias' abdominal pain but they decided not to keep making a fuss about it. Soon everyone went home. At 1ST nothing appeared to be wrong. As Angel, Elias, Ella & Ethan ate dinner Elias felt another jolt of pain. This time it was so bad he fell to the floor & felt like he couldn't move because of how agonising the pain was.
"HELP. IT HURTS. I CAN'T GET UP" cried Elias.
"ELIAS" cried Angel.
"We need to get him to the hospital" said Ella.
"These pains are obviously more serious than we thought" said Ethan.
Ella & Ethan helped Elias up & got in the car with Angel. They drove to the hospital as Elias continued to cry out in pain. As soon as they arrived at the hospital they went straight to the front desk.
"Hello. How can I help you?" asked the receptionist.
"Our son has been experiencing abdominal pain for a week & he just collapsed in agony on the floor at home" said Ella.
"We don't know what's wrong with him. He needs urgent medical attention" said Ethan.
"We can take it from here" said the receptionist as she called for medical assistance. 2 nurses appeared with a wheelchair which Elias was seated in. They proceeded to take him to the scanning room to figure out what was causing the pain in his abdomen. Angel, Ella & Ethan waited anxiously in the foyer.
"I wish Elias hadn't brushed off the pain. Obviously, it's not cramps" said Angel.
"I hope it's not anything too serious. That would be incredibly tragic" said Ella.
"Whatever it is I hope Elias will be OK. His health & safety is a top priority" said Ethan.
30 minutes later Angel, Ella & Ethan were taken to the room Elias was resting in. He was awake but was told to stay on the bed he was laying on.
"How do you feel Elias?" asked Angel.
"I feel better than before. I've been given painkillers to get rid of the pain" said Elias.
"I hope the pain you've been experiencing isn't serious" said Ella.
"Me too. Whatever it could possibly be we'll do anything we can to help you deal with it" said Ethan.
Soon a nurse entered the room with the scan results.
"How's our son?" asked Ella.
"What's causing the pain?" asked Ethan.
"It's not good news. We scanned your son & we found a tumour in his bowels. He has bowel cancer" said the nurse.
Angel, Elias, Ella & Ethan gasped in horror. They were all shocked at the news they had just received.
"I never would've guessed it was cancer. I can't believe this" said Elias.
"This is awful. I never expected any of us to ever get cancer" said Ella.
"How serious is it?" asked Ethan.
"It's too early to know yet. It's still in the early stages. All we can do is give your son medication for the pain he experiences. Further treatment will become available later. For now, you're allowed to go home & rest" said the nurse.
Elias was given a bottle of pills for him to take to get rid of the pain he experienced. Soon he & his family returned home. They were all completely surprised at the news they had received.
"This is scary. I had no idea it was cancer" said Angel.
"Me either. I hope I don't get worse" said Elias.
"We'll make sure to give you whatever treatment you need to feel better" said Ella.
"We're not going to let you get sicker. We'll do anything to get your health to better condition" said Ethan.
Elias gave his parents a hug. Angel requested to sleep in Elias' room which he obliged.
"I'm sorry that this is happening to you Elias" said Angel.
"It's OK Angel. I'm sure we'll find a way through this" said Elias as he gave Angel a hug & kissed her on the forehead. As he prepared for bed he thought about how things would be living with cancer.
"I still can't believe I have cancer. I don't think the rest of town will take this news well. Right now, I hope my cancer isn't terminal. I must be strong. I refuse to let this cancer get the better of me. I will make sure that I beat this cancer. Soon I'll feel a lot better" thought Elias as he drifted off to sleep.
