Chapter 147
Just then, the door opened and Big Bertha came in with four men and two gurneys. "Alright ladies, I've your dates, and your carriages await," she snickered.
"Gentleman, you'll need to leave the room until we get the ladies situated. You may follow them up to the elevator if you wish. Then you can go to the surgery waiting room for Dr. Vossen to call or come by and let you know how the procedure went. Now out, out of this room the both of you!" demanded Big Bertha.
"AJ, I told her sister that I was going to try and get you out of here for a while, and she told you to go. The soonest Vossen said either would be back was three hours, we'll be back by then and we can both leave contact numbers. Don't worry, my friend, they'll be fine, both are fighters."
"Krystal maybe, but Krista is expecting to die," replied AJ with tears in his eyes. "I'll go but let's leave both our cell phone numbers with the nurse."
"Come on man, I have seen you face the enemy! She's not going to die, or at the very least not today, even if the procedure doesn't work you'll have several months with her still, you'll just have to make every moment count. Krystal is worried that she'll not be able to keep her promise to Krista."
Meanwhile upstairs Dr. Vossen came by to talk with the sisters. "Ladies, I have reviewed your files and have decided to use general anesthesia on you both. Instead of going in through your spine, I'm
going in through your pelvic bone. You're both are too small for me to try the spine, so I'm going to have to go in about six or seven times in the pelvic area. Krista, you will be in one operating room due to the possibility of infections, while I'm working on Krystal. When I am finished with her, she'll go to recovery and I'll start with you. Any questions ladies?" asked Dr. Vossen.
"If this is a higher risk to the babies then you do it the other way Doc!" Krista glared at him
"No, Krista, there'll no more danger to the babies this way than the other. You should know by now that I'm taking the babies in consideration in all I do. Just try to lay back and relax, it'll be a few hours before I get to you. Try yoga or meditation to relax, whatever works for you," he grinned.
"My oils, I have them with me. And your peppermint is on the way so make sure you earn it!"
"No need to worry, Krista, I'm a very skilled surgeon. You and your sister are in good hands," he assured her. "Now, if you gentleman will take Ms. Krista into the other room, we'll move Ms. Krystal into this room and begin."
"Take care Kris. Make my niece or nephew behave and tell them I what to feel it kick soon," yelled Krystal. "Love you dufus."
"Love you more dufus!" Krista whispered as they wheeled her away.
"Now, Ms. Krystal, this is the anesthetist, Richard Van Meter. He's going to put you under as soon as the nurses get through putting on the heart monitor. Once you're asleep I will puncture six or seven holes around your pelvic area and draw out about two pints of bone marrow. The tiny holes will be covered with plaster. I'm afraid this will be painful and you'll be most uncomfortable. This could last for several days to a few weeks. Not to worry, you'll be given medication to help with the pain. You'll also receive a blood transfusion, so don't be afraid when you awake and see that happening. All right we're ready. Shut your eyes Ms. Krystal and relax," he ordered. "Mr. Van Meter, lets get started.
