The Results Are In

Lana held out the lab results for Lu. They both drew in a long breath and Lu opened up the folder. She gave a disappointed look to Lana. Just then Dana walked up.

"Is that it? Can I see?"

"Dana…" Dana saw the disappointment in Lu's eyes.

"No matches are there?"

"Dana listen, we will find one. It is just that Louise is AB- and that is the-"

"Rarest blood type, yes I know. I don't know what to do anymore Lu. This is my little girl, the little girl I worked so hard to become a mother to."
"Dana, we will find someone." Dana wanted to hold high hopes, but she knew the chances of finding a donor would be extremely difficult. Not to mention, Louise was quickly progressing through the stages of Aplastic Anemia.

About an hour later Lu was flipping through books on her desks. She was searching for anything to help Louise. Just then she stopped on a page and read. She picked up the phone and called up to the nursery.

"Rittenhouse Children's Nursery" A nursing assistant answered.

"This is Dr. Delgado, Dana Stowe is up there, I need her sent down the clinic ASAP."

"Will do Dr."

About two minutes later Dana walked into Lu's office.

"What is it Lu?"
"I found something. Warming and tonifying the spleen and kidney. There is something called a Yin Jing tonic. It says in here that is moistens blood and has incredible results in restoring blood cells, which is what Louise has a deficiency in."

"Yeah, Lu I know it also is great for circulation, and it seems just perfect as a treatment. That is why we have already tried it and Louise is still progressing."

Lu's heart looked broken.

"Lu, you are my last resort. You know I was up in the nursery, and I was thinking that Louise disserves her life. She disserves to be young and not have to go through this." Tears fell from Dana's eyes. "I am taking my daughters back to Virginia Lu, I can't bear for Louise-"

"For Louise, Dana? Or for you?"

Just then Lu's pager went off.

"That is you Lu always off to save the day."

Lu saw that it was only the lab, but she felt like she needed to get out of there before she started to cry herself. She knew she had to be strong for Dana.
