Okay, I haven't updated for a few days, forgive me, I'm busier than I thought I would be. Don't worry, I'm not going on the evil review rampage again, but I am aching for review! By at least one day after I upload this chapter, I am looking forward to at least eight reviews! And just a warning, this chapter will be one of the most intense ones of this whole story, and it will be VERY VERY difficult to write. I hope you enjoy chapter 5 of About Average.
-Olivia's point of view-
The paramedics has rushed Lilly into the hospital, a nurse tried to calm me down when I sped into the waiting room of the ER, she had told me that the doctors were examining her and they couldn't let me in. I didn't like that, I wanted to be with her, this was too much for her to be alone, she probably didn't even know what happened, she passed out from the blood loss.
My heart was pounding as I sat down in the ER chair, I didn't dare call the squad, I didn't feel like interrupting their lives, and the last thing I would want them to see is me having a darn panic attack.
"Ms. Benson you can see your daughter now, we were able to take the chest tube out, but we put an oxygen mask to make sure she would be getting enough oxygen. She'll be unconscious for a while yet, whenever she wakes up we would like the permission to run a CT scan and an MRI scan, so here, would you quick sign this form for the consent? The scans will help us fin the source of the blood, if we don't find anything, we may have to a biopsy, or even an open chest surgery." stated the doctor as she handed me the sheet, I signed it and handed it back,then I went to the hospital room the Lilly was in.
She looked so helpless as her pale body lay in the hospital bed, I sat in the chair next to the bed, I held her hand and I actually fell asleep.
I woke up when I felt Lilly's arm make a slight pull, I looked up and her eyes were open, she was finally awake, I looked at the clock to see why time it was, it was five o'clock, a few hours had passed.
"Oh, honey, your awake! Are you feeling okay?" I inquired as I then gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I tried to tell you, I just couldn't breathe." said Lilly as her eyes filled up with tears and her voice was crackled up.
"Oh, honey, it's not your fault, no one could have known, you couldn't breathe. I just have to go get a nurse quick just so they know that you are awake, they might do a few tests on you." I said as I then walked down the hallway to get the nurse, the nurse and I walked to a counter, she had asked for a Doctor Johnson, I guessed that the real doctors needed to do the tests. Then the lady doctor and I walked back to the room.
"Hi sweetheart, I'm doctor Johnson, I'll be your doctor for the time that you are in the hospital, I'm just going to have to do a few check ups that I couldn't do when you were sleeping, than alright?" said the doctor, Lilly replied with a quiet yes, then she started to do some standard check up things.
"Okay, we should be ready to do the scans that you consented to, it will only take about 20 minutes to get through the CT and MRI both, and it will only take about 10 minutes to get the results, so we should be back in about a half hour." said doctor Johnson as she grabbed the wheel chair from the corner of the room and haloed Lilly get in it, then he pushed her down some halls, I just stayed in the room and relaxed on the chair.
-Lilly's point of view-
I knew what CT and MRI scans were, only because I was addicted to watching House, MD. First, they put me in the MRI scan,in had to take my earrings out, that scan took about 20 minutes. Then they took me to the CT room, that one took only fifteen minutes, there was window between the room where the scanner was an were the doctors looked at my results, there faces looked very surprised, it made my stomach drop a million floors.
I almost cried when I looked at the looks on the doctors faces, I just wanted to know what they were looking at, then they took me back to the room, by the way the two doctors that tested me looked at each other, I could tell the results wouldn't be good. What was wrong with me? What if I had Alzheimer's disease or something, wait no, Alzheimer's is in the brain...
" Ms. Benson, I would like to share the results with you in private." said doctor Johnson as she and mom walked out of the room, it couldn't be good. I watched doctor Johnson talk, but I couldn't hear anything, her face looked concerned, then when she finished, mom's eyes filled with tears, she didn't let them spill over though. Mom just took a deep breath and entered the room, as so followed the doctor.
"Mom, what's wrong with me?" I asked in a quiet voice, it was hard not to cry by what I had witnessed, but I held the tears for later.
"Um, honey, the scans had shown that you have a mass in your lungs, the doctors are going to have to do a biopsy to test to see if it is cancerous." said mom, I could tell this was not the results she was looking forward to, I felt the same way.
I didn't know what to say, I just lay there in silence.
"We shall go on with the biopsy now, we shouldn't let it wait any longer if it's cancerous." said doctor Johnson, mom conceited to the biopsy. I had to lay on my side, mom was on one side holding my hands while the doctor was on my back side, I looked as far as I could through the corner of my eye, she had a gigantic needle, something I absolutely did not want inserted into me.
"Okay, I am just going to numb your back, then I will insert the needle in and grab a piece of the mass, it shouldn't hurt much when I put the needle in, you'll feel a little pressure though. It'll be over with and done in no time." said the doctor, that calmed me down a little, at least I had known what they were going to do to me.
I felt it go into me, it hurt a little, I felt lots of pressure, before I knew it, it was all over and done with.
Okay, I realize I didn't put much as I usually do in this chapter, forgive me, I have a family wedding to go to! I would update tomorrow, but I am more busy than I thought I would have been, so I just gave you this little bit! Please review! I hope you enjoyed chapter 5 of About Average! Feel free to PM me!
