I adjusted en my seat leaning out to hear the report. He pushed the brown envelope in me
“What did the report say? Lasked, looking down at it without touching it. Fear has begun to read into my skin with the look on the doctor’s top
He wasn’t smiling. He just held a sodermis look on his face. That a bad feeling about this.
glasses
He pushed his places up the bridge of his nose,
I picked up the envelope without opening it. The name of the hospital and the address were in one corner of 19.
“Her kidney has become had,” he stated. “We knew this before,” Treplied.
We knew it from birth.
I was what we talked about earlier. He shook his head as if to tell me what he meant. This time was different
“You have to understand that this is not the end of the world. With the fear in your eyes, I will advise that you hold yourself as the you this.” He continued, and I nodded a bit too briskly, urging him to carry on
“Melanie will need a kidney transplant.” My world stopped, my eyes widened.
“What did you say?” I asked not because I didn’t hear him but because I wanted to allow him to change the mess
Or maybe didn’t hear him properly.
“I’ll keep an eye out for a kidney.” He had said the last test would decide the type of treatment, but a part of me had bald my heart, hoping it wasn’t a transplant. I guess I am not as lucky as I wanted to be.
I blinked rapidly, trying to send back the tears that were threatening to fall
It was bad, I knew it but I never thought it had gotten to that stage.
Over the years with Melanie and with us always being in the hospital, I’ve come to know a lot about kidney disease and all
This can’t be the fifth stage.
My entire body trembled, “I am not ready to lose my daughter, doctor. I placed both hands together, rubbing them.
“You won’t lose her. She will get better with a kidney.” His voice was calm as he spoke.
I shook my head.
“I’ve heard of cases where the patients were able to curtail their sickness, and it never rose more than stage three. Why is Melanie’s situation different?” | wanted to know.
I’ve successfully held back my tears, but it didn’t stop my heart from being ripped apart.
I wished this upon myself a thousand times more than for my baby
Oh, my poor baby!
I placed the envelope on my lap
The doctor lounges forward and clasps his hands together.

“Melanie is just five; you know she also has hypertension, and the Huld buildap from her falling w heart; if we want to keep her alive. Then we’ll need a kidney transplant.” He explained, his voice soft.
His eyes held a gentle look, but I couldn’t hold it for long; I helt i would break down.completely
“We can have the surgery; I am ready to give you any amount you want.” All my fortune. I just want my baby in be find.
I rubbed ity palm on my lap, “how fast can we got the transplant done!”
“We’ll have to search for a kidney that matches hers” He said, I nodded, he continued, “but it is not always easy to get one. it will take two or thre months. He said.
Helt my heart lightened.
Tears slid down my face, and he passed a tissue to me,
“I’m sorry about this. He said. I took the tissue and dabbed my cheeks with it. It quickly became soaked from tears.
“Does Melanie…” my voice brake. The question was in my head but I couldn’t bring myself to say it
“Does Melanie have up to that time? Will my girl be able to hold on before then?”
I had to know.
“Yes. In typical cases, she should. For now, we’ll watch her condition.” He said.
As I walked back to Melanie’s room, I felt my pain transform into anger,
Why was this happening?
Melanie is so young. She has never hurt anyone in her life, so why does she have to go through all this?
Why do I have to watch my daughter experience this?
Isn’t it time for my suffering to end?
My mind reverts back to the time when they were just babies, still in the incubator.
I was close to the room, but my legs couldn’t carry me. I ignored the weird looks thrown at me by some people passing by
Most of them had bigger issues, but they had the time to judge me with their eyes, not that I minded.
