David came back for more dialysis. His Mom Diane hand me a grocery bag with a bottle of his urine for the Lab.
Hiro:"How did it go?"
Diane:"Great. looks like it's working fine."Diane?
I took David to the dialysis unit and hook him up to the machine. I let him watch a movie while he's receiving treatment. I was at the nurses station reading patient's charts until a fax came through. A set of kidney's were available. I went back to the dialysis unit.
Hiro:"Diane? I got some very good news. David's going to live. A fax came through. We have a set of kidney's.
Diane was so happy the Hear the good news. That day, David was admitted on the transplant unit. David was on medicine through the I.V to get ready for the kidney's. That night, David was watching TV and having ice-cream until I came in with his chart.
Hiro:"I got something for you".
I give him a teddy bear to cuddle.
Hiro:"Surgery will be tomorrow morning at nurse will wake you up at 5:00am to get you ready for surgery.
David:"Will I hurt?"
Hiro:"You'll be put to sleep. We have flavor's for the mask to make sleepy time more pleasant."
I had a case of bottle's of flavor's for David to choose for the mask. He choose grape flavor. I let him sniff at it.
Hiro" So when you breathe in the sleepy medicine, You'll smell grape flaver. After surgery, You maybe wheeled to I.C.U because monitoring is need to make sure your new kidney's are working with means I may have to put a catheter in your bladder with a urine meter attached."
I sat on his bed.
Hiro:"You know David, Sometimes we have to do these medical procedures to make sure your heathy enough to go home. It's like getting a test done here in the Hospital. Tell you what, Let me call a child life specialist and prepare you for this. First, I need to check your vital's.
David smiled at me. I checked her vital's and adjust his the I.V pump and called child life.
Hiro"Can I have child life specialist on the transplant unit in Room W4-26 West Wing."
I hung up the phone. Someone from Child life came in with a medical doll with medical supplies. I left the room. I went in the staff's locker room to get my jacket on and clock out. I went to the garage to my car and notice I had a flat so I get a spare out of my car and A jack to life out the car. Crystal came out.
Crystal:"Have a flat tire?"
Hiro:"Yes. I need to get home. I have a sick child to take care of.
I put the spare on and lower the car.
Crystal:" Is David going to make it."
Hiro:"Surgery is tomorrow morning. I have the child life specialist to prepare him for this big medical procedure. I'll be in at 5:00 in the morning."
My pager went off. It was Baymax. I got in my car and drove off.
After I got Home, I went upstairs to Maggie's room. The Artificial heart was outside of her body that is attached to the Artery. I turn up the oxygan tank. Her EKG reading was slowing down. Blood pressure is dropping."
Baymax:"How long until we have to wait for a Heart?"
Hiro:"Not sure. It could be weeks, months or a year.
I went into the laundry room and wash it with bleach. I move the sleeper sofa from my office into her room so I can watch her closely. I print her EKG readings to exam it. I feel asleep.
