Summary: Prof. Tomoe wakes up after a car accident. In the OR lies Hotaru with chances of survival slim to none. Will he step up and go through with his idea or put his hope in the Donor List.
I felt my self floating in a dark pool. Was I dead? What about Hotaru! The blaring of a horn and the flashing of a white light to my right jerks me out of my peaceful slumber. One I had fallen into due to a large dose of sedatives I had been placed in. Panicking I looked around the room and tried to call out to her. A nurse came rushing in probably due to the thrashing I was doing in my tempt to get out of the small bed.
"Sir! Sir! Please calm down!" The nurse pleaded, while trying to push me back on to the bed.
"My daughter! Where is she? Is she ok?"
"Sir Please sit back down and we will discuss your daughters state shortly." Said a deep voice from the door. It belonged to a tall male doctor maybe in his 40's. I sat back down a knot twisting itself in my stomach. I was afraid of what news he could bring. So prayed as hard as I could that she would be ok.
"Is-is she ok doctor?" I asked once the nurse had left. I gripped my sheets to hide my shaking hands, it was already too late to hide the fear in my voice. He looked at me briefly, glancing back to his papers. He flipped a page and flipped it back it was driving me insane. Finally he sighed and looked up.
"I'm sorry to say but the damage your daughter-"
"Hotaru." I rasped out. I couldn't bear to let this doctor treat her as nothing more than stats and reports on paper.
"Ah yes, Hotaru. The damage to her body is extensive and very severe. She suffered extensive internal trauma as well as to her right arm and leg. Currently we have controlled the bleeding in her abdomen-"
"So Hotaru, she's going to be ok right?" I pleaded to the white coated man.
"Mr. Tomoe, because of the severity of your daughter's injuries coupled with her illness…I imagine that her chances of surviving are very slim." I shook my head. I couldn't believe what he was saying. There had ot be away. Some way to help my little Hotaru survive. That's when it hit me.
"What if we were able to modify her body?" I asked my mind raising ahead. While at the same time, moments of happiness flashed through my mind. Images of Hotaru as a baby bundled up in a lavender blanket, her first time going to the beach each was as vivid as if it had just happened yesterday. I swore I would help her regain that happiness.
"Mr. Tomoe what are you talking about? The chances of her body recovering properly would require nothing short of a miracle. You also have to consider the damage done to her organs! She will not survive the time needed to find all the needed transplants!"
"No, but we can salvage what is left of her body and re-create the rest. I am a research professor and recently I was working with new innovative biotechnology. We could incorporate robotic parts into her body. Which would help buy us time until the donor is found."
"But Prof. Tomoe with your daughters pre-existing condition we may not even be bale to put her on a donor list. Let's say we did find a donor or even multiple donors, in most patients chances that the body may reject the transplant are low. Hotaru though, is not a normal patient. She has extensive injuries coupled with a debilitating disease. Her body has a higher probability of rejecting the transplants."
"We could give her artificial versions of the organs we cannot find. Lab tests have proven successful in most of the organs we have reproduced." I was desperate that's what the doctor is thinking of me. He thinks I'm only grasping for straws. But I know what I'm talking about it, and I know I can perform the procedure.
"What you are suggesting Prof. Tomoe is unheard of it has never been tested!" The doctor exasperated.
"There is a first time for everything. If its to help my daughter survive, and live a normal life I am willing to risk everything I have." I said determination blazing within me.
