Lilmonkeygirl31: Thanx and I'm glad you like it!
Daisyangel: Thank you for the information; it was rally nice for you to help! I sort of have the rest of the story planned out in my head, so I'll probably just leave the medical stuff wrong for now, but I'll definitely use the sight for my next fic, thanx again! (-:
Beauy: Thanx! I tried to email you to help with the new chapter of Can't Take My Love Away, but it didn't work. Maybe you gave me the wrong email address; you can give it to me again in your next review if you want!
Lovin7thheaven3993: Well, Eric and Annie are gone because in chapter 3 (I can Take care of This) Matt thought it would be better if they left. Annie is pregnant and Eric has people and the church to take care of; plus Matt wanted to take responsibility for everything since he felt like it was his fault. The rest of the kids are all at camp and stuff. I thought if I had Eric and Annie around too much there would be too many people and it would take away from the focus on Matt and Lucy.
Matt's POV
I tried to gather my senses. Everything was such a mess. I was worried about my own life, but even more worried about my sisters; and worse yet, I had lost faith and had lost the hope that God would get us through this. I wondered how he could let this happen to her, to us. I was finally able to calm down enough to walk to the waiting room. I sat there for about an hour or so when Lucy's doctor finally arrived.
"How is she?" I asked him, scared to death of the answer.
"Matt she…"
"She's not dead…is she?"
"No, she's fighting really hard to stay alive, but I don't know how much longer she can hold on."
"Please, just tell me what I can do, whatever it is I'll do it. I just want her to live."
"I know, but her heart is growing weaker and it isn't pumping the blood to her lung correctly because her lung is in bad shape."
"I don't get it; I didn't know anything was wrong with her lungs."
"Me either, it's the same thing as with her heart. Because of her brain damage the signals from her brain to her heart and lungs are not getting through. Her brain damage is healing, but her lung is already weak and she needs it replaced within twenty-four hours max."
"Well, why can't she get a lung donation?" I asked him impatiently.
"Because, when someone dies, there lungs are not always healthy and donating one of those to her would only make it worse."
"What about a live donation?"
"It isn't very common and if someone were to donate a lung than their chance of living on would be very slim. It is possible to live off of one lung, but do you know anyone willing to take that risk."
"Yeah, I think I do," I told him, "I have to go right now. I have my leukemia verification tests, but I know the perfect donor for Lucy, so I'll get back to you."
The tests took a long time and when it was all over I was waiting for my results. The nurse finally came to tell me.
"Matt, I have great news, your results last time were wrong, you don't have leukemia." My heart soared and my faith was restored. I knew in my heart that everything was going to be ok. I was healthy and I knew for sure that I would be the perfect donor for my sister.
