Elizabeth

In the absolute worst of days i did not think it could have gone any worse. During the first hours of work i was notified about Alex's whereabouts, well if he had gone into Calloway Prison successfully. It had been five days of Alex Bourne locked up. In the amidst of it all my sudden heart fell to the ground on what was so unexpected.

                     12:25p.m.
I grabbed my bag and drove to the hospital as fast as i could. I rushed past promenades of nurses and doctors.
"I've... come to see my daughter... where is she?" i ask to the receptionist at the desk. Through all the heave ness of looking through my daughters documents she led me to her room.

"Umm... well...i would like to umm...do the heart transplant, i would like to see my daughter live as long as she possibly can." hesitantly i replied. The day i became a mother i was obliged to do anything for my children even if i were to do die saving my children. I've learnt the hard way and now i must act upon my one and only child that has the chance to live as long as she possibly can.
   The doctor then immediately rushed  out to put blood type and heart into the heart document in the computer. A donor came in that matched my daughters specifications within 48 hours. "We are pleased to say that we have heart donor match fro your daughter Mrs Fowling." the doctor said in an embarking way. That was great news for me until i realised.....
