"Is he gonna be okay?" I asked.
Christian had fell off the jungle gym during recess at school and fractured his skull and every since his teacher had called me about it, I'd been in a state of panic.
I couldn't sit still. I was nervous, anxious, any other word you can think of for frantic, I was it.
I'd called my mom and Lori as soon as I found out to get some comfort and they both had told me they were on their way.
I prayed again for what felt like the thousandth time that he was okay and that this doctor would give me some good news.
"Trey!"
I turned to see Lori and Morgan running towards me.
"Is he okay?" Lori asked nervously.
I turned back to the doctor.
"Is he?" I asked.
"He has a pretty bad fracture and it seems as if that fracture has caused him to develop symptomatic anemia." She said.
"What does that mean?"

I took a deep breath as my eyes swelled with tears.
"He's my son, we've gotta be a match, right?" I said.
She nodded, "Yes, you would be perfect. The sooner we can get you back..."
"I'm ready." I said taking off my jacket.
"Good, come on, let's get you back." She said.
I looked back at Lori who was watching me with pure worry etched on her face.
"I love you." She mouthed.
"I love you too." I mouthed back before I disappeared behind the double doors.
