Here is chapter 2


Chapter 2

Grace was rushed straight into the Emergency Department, the medical professionals didn't want to waste any time because at this point they had no clue what could be wrong with Grace. Rachel had rang Danny on the way to the hospital and soon enough he came sprinting through the hospital doors worry and fear etched on his face. His heart skipped a beat and sped up significantly when he heard his monkey had ended up in the hospital for an unknown reason so he got there in a heartbeat.

"Rachel? Where is she? Is she okay?" Danny said quickly laying a comforting hand on Rachel's shoulder

"They took her in there.." Rachel said shakily pointing towards the floppy hospital doors leading into the ER

"What happened?" Danny asked frantically wanting to know what had caused all this

"She woke up this morning, she felt sick...I ...I was going to call a doctor but she said it was only a tummy bug.." Rachel cried "Why didn't I call the doctor!?" Danny held her close as she cried in his arms, burrowing her face into his shoulders

"Shhh, she is going to be fine okay.." Danny cupped Rachel's face forcing them to make eye contact "She is going to be fine!" He hugged her again as he hopped and prayed that Grace would be okay.

They waited, they were beginning to get impatient but then just as they were beginning to loose all hope Grace was wheeled out on the gurney as a middle aged tanned doctor walked beside her. Grace had an oxygen mask on and she had electrodes placed carefully and precisely on her chest and lower abdomen, tubes were snaking out from underneath her colorful hospital gown in every direction. Danny and Rachel also noticed the IV line and the catheter attached to Grace. She was pale, her breathing was too fast for Danny's liking, she wasn't the same Grace that everyone knew and loved.

They rushed up and disturbed the path of Grace's doctor demanding answers
"Is she going to be okay?" Danny demanded kindly as the doctor stopped abruptly as to not to bump into Danny

"Where are ye taking her?!" Rachel added

"Oh, I assume ye are Grace's parents?" The doctor asked. Rachel and Danny introduced themselves quickly and shook Dr. Frederick's hand before finally being informed of Grace's condition.

"Grace is in critical condition, she was brought in with symptoms in which I deal with everyday, after tests we determined Grace is most likely suffering from the onset of Kidney Failure..." Dr. Frederick said earning a frightened gasp off the two shocked parents

"Her blood pressure is high but thankfully we managed to stabilize it, she also showed signs of severe dehydration so we put her on fluids to restore the lost fluids which escaped from her body...We took a urine sample from Grace and under high demand got the tests back early...it showed Grace had high levels of protein in the urine, this is a sign that the kidneys are not functioning properly as usually the urine would be filtered out of the kidneys and back into the blood..Also we found a small quantity of creatine in the blood, this isn't normal either as creatine is usually filtered back into the body and should not be secreted...these are all indications that Grace's kidney are beginning to shut down.." The doctor said grimly before continuing "...we have taken a kidney biopsy to make sure that Grace is indeed suffering from Kidney Failure, the results of them should be back by the end of the week..." he said

"W..what happens now?" Danny asked cradling a shocked Rachel in his arms

"My colleagues have brought Grace up to the renal department upstairs where we will start high range Dialysis which will act as a filter for Grace's body and filter out any impurities and filter them back out of the body again via the machine...I would also like, with yer consent, that ye be tested as liable donors for Grace...would that be okay?" Dr. Frederick asked

"Yeah no problem anything to help Grace!" Danny said without hesitating

"Good, if ye could follow me please.." Dr. Frederick said leading them into the ER department and into a small office and got the equipment ready. Danny was first, he tied a tourniquet around Danny's bicep to reveal the vain and then stuck the needle in and got a sample. He repeated the process with Rachel and sent the samples straight down to the lab.

"Okay..so yer blood will be tested against Grace's and if any of ye are a match then we can go straight ahead with the transplant, we don't want to waste anytime!"The doctor sighed "Look, I know this is all rushed, mightn't seem real at the moment but the reality of the situation is that Grace is young, she is fit and if yer blood comes back a match and we go through with the transplant then I am certain Grace will go onto make a full recovery!" he said trying to calm the parents nerves

"C..can we see her?" Rachel asked nervously

"Yeah no problem, just one more thing.." the doctor rustled around his desk before grabbing two pieces of paper "These are the consent forms stating that you are both okay to donate a kidney...ye don't have to sign it, but if ye don't that means ye won't be a liable donor for Grace.." He placed the forms in front of Rachel and Danny. They didn't even think and just signed the forms, this was Grace's life they were talking about!

Dr. Frederick put the forms in a safe place, smiled and led them to Grace's room upstairs. He left Danny and Rachel to it. Rachel was emotional straight away seeing Gracie hooked up to the dialysis machine as the tube stuck out for her abdomen more then definitely saving her life.

"Do you think she can hear us?" Rachel asked Danny tears in her eyes as she held Grace's hand.

Danny nodded "I'm sure she can" Danny said staring at the still form of his daughter hooked up to so many unusual machines

"Grace, it's mommy...I'm here okay..so is Danny..we'r here for you baby!" Rachel started tearing up and Danny was by her side in no time and hugged her tight, they needed each other just as much as Grace needed them.

They sat with her all evening, Danny had rang Chin who was with Kono and Steve to update them, they kindly offered their services before disconnecting. Then he sat by Grace, all evening he even read her a story which he usually does at bedtime, Grace was 10 I know that's a bit old for a bedtime story but Danny didn't mind.

Soon Rachel and Danny were sound asleep, hopping that either one of them would be a match and save Grace's young life.


They woke in the morning the dialysis machine still attached to Grace's weak body, they saw another doctor take over from Dr. Frederick he continued his morning check up on Grace but shortly after got called outside by one of the female trainee nurses so he left.

Another ten minutes passed before Dr. Ling returned and Rachel and Danny both stood up, paying attention as he mentioned the blood results were back.

Rachel was upset when she heard that she wasn't a liable donor, but was relieved when she heard Danny was!

"With your consent we can maybe do the surgery first thing in the morning, is that okay?" Dr. Ling smiled

"Yes! Of course!" Danny agreed

"Well lets get you admitted then, follow me.." said. Before Danny left he gave Grace a quick look, gave her a quick kiss and stroked her hair before heading towards the door

"See you later monkey!" Danny said smiling then he left
