Emily's POV:

Today I haven't really been feeling that good. I've had a headache, bad cough, fever, and I have no sense of balance at the moment. I don't know what is happening, it's probably just a common cold. Or allergies. But just to make sure my mom is going to take me to the hospital. We would go to the doctors, but it's Sunday so they aren't open. But I need medicine asap because I've been missing so much gymnastics, but I know my coaches understand.

At about 1:30 we left to go to the hospital. On our way there my stomach started to hurt really bad to the point where we had to pull over. As soon as I stepped out of the car and starting throwing up. But, it was normal throw up. I threw up blood. A lot of it. My mom rushed me to the hospital. When we got there I blacked out. The only thing I remember was a nurse putting me in a wheel chair.

When I woke up it was about 4:30. My mom looked over at me, her cheeks tear stained.

"Mom, is everything okay?" I asked.

"We don't know what is wrong with you, Emily. The doctors...... They believe it could be...... Ca.... Cancer."

Cancer? How could I have cancer? I'm a normal healthy 7 year old, how could this be happening?

"I have cancer....?" I asked.

"We don't know yet sweetheart. It's a possibility, but you may not. The doctors are going I run some tests soon, so we can find out. But don't worry sweetheart, whatever happens, you can fight through it."
After mom said that she started bawling.

At this moment I have realized I have been through so much. My dad leaving, my brother dying, maybe I could do this. It's just a possibility, doesn't mean yes, but also doesn't mean no....

"Hello Emily, I am doctor Stevens. Today we are going to run some tests so we can see what is wrong with you. We want you to be better as soon as possible! We are going to just out you on this stretcher and roll you to the testing room. Everything will be okay, and nothing will hurt. It'll take about 15 minutes."

"Okay..... I'm ready I guess." I replied back. Not really like I have a choice anyway.

After about 15 or 20 minutes I was taken back to my room. They gave me some medicine to sleep and by morning the test results would be in, saying what is wrong with me. Tomorrow Caleb will be visiting me, and I can't wait. I haven't seen him in about a week now..... The sleeping medicine took about 20 minutes to start working. I was supposed to tell mom when I was getting sleepy so she could tel the nurses.

"I'm getting tired now mom." I said.

"Okay sweetheart. I love you so much, you are my world and I know you can pull through this. I'll be here all night and if at any time something feels wrong, wake me up please." Mom said.

"Okay mom, I love you too." And then I passed out.....
