Chapter 6 - Ups and Downs
By: Erin
Lu left the hospital later that day, after grabbing her coat and purse. She then locked up her office and headed out of the clinic. She wasn't sure of where to go next except for her apartment, just to relax for awhile, so that's what she did. She knew that being away from her son while he was in a hospital - especially a hospital that she worked at - was not going to be easy, but she had to do it, because if she didn't she would probably lose it everytime that she went in to see him.
Two weeks later, Lu is Lu again, she is also now just getting back into work, but Marc is still in the hospital and is really not geting any better. He is making small progress when the chemo doesn't wear his energy down. Lu knows she's got to try hard to be strong for him and she has, it's just now she's not sure of how much stronger she can be. She's doing her best with the help of everyone at the clinic, even her own patients.
Two months later, Marc is strong enough to walk around for awhile, but not without assistant from Dana and Lu, which Lu knows he hates, he hates showing his weak side, actually so does Lu. Marc is slowly, but surely getting alittle better, but that's only when the side effects of his Chemo treatments don't wear him out with making him sick.
During the next few days things are touch and go with Marc, he's not really hungery, but then he's really tired, it's just one thing after the other, some days are good and some days are bad, but it depends on how his body handles the medications and treaments. Everyday is different and everyday is a challenge to get through, but Lu and Marc both make it out of the challenge and that is the most important thing at this point.
