a fragile life

side effects and getting tested

I still can't believe Andrea is my sister Ty said.

I can but only because you and Luke are so alike Amy said.

I can't believe my mom had an affair I always thought my mom and dads divorce was all my dad's fault Ty said.

It's never just one person's fault when a relationship doesn't work out Amy said.

I know Ty said.

Anyway enough about that how did she do during dialysis Ty asked..

She didn't like getting the iv but then she fell asleep so I'd say pretty good Amy said

That's good Ty said.

When they got home Ty carried Lyndy inside and put her down for a nap.

An hour later Amy went to check on Lyndy.

She opened the door to see Lyndy crying softly in her bed.

Amy sat on the floor next to her bed.

What's wrong sweetie Amy asked.

My feet hurt Lyndy said.

Sweetheart why didn't you tell me Amy asked.

I didn't want to be whiny Lyndy said.

Lyndy sweetheart look at me you're not whiny your supposed to tell mommy if you aren't feeling good Amy said.

Okay Lyndy said.

Do you want to come sit on the couch with me Amy asked.

Yes Lyndy said.

Okay come here Amy said picking Lyndy up.

Ty walked into the house to see Amy carrying Lyndy to the living room.

Amy put Lyndy down and sat down herself.

Then she put Lyndy's Legs across her lap and started rubbing her feet.

Thank you mommy Lyndy said.

Your welcome sweetie Amy said happy she could give Lyndy some relief.

Hey Ty can we talk Luke asked later that day.

Yeah sure what's up Ty asked.

Is Lyndy okay Luke asked.

Yes she's okay it's just the side effects from the dialysis Ty said.

Oh okay I just wanted to make sure I hate hearing her cry like that Luke said

I know me too Ty said hugging Luke.

Later that night after Amy put Lyndy to bed she came into her and Ty's room crying  .

What's wrong honey Ty asked as Amy got into bed 

I just hate seeing her that sick Amy said 

You mean Lyndy Ty asked.

Yes Amy said.

I don't like seeing her like that either but dialysis will help Ty assured her.

The nurse that did her dialysis today told me it will eventually stop working Amy sobbed.

What do we need to do Ty asked.

Well we need find her new kidneys Amy said through her tears.

Well we can both get tested and I'm sure the whole family would be happy to Ty and.

I'm sorry it's just hard Amy said through tears.

It's okay it's hard for me too Ty said.

The next day at breakfast Amy and Ty decided to ask the question that had been on both of their minds.

Would any of you willing to get tested to see if you could possibly donate a  kidney to Lyndy Amy asked.

Isn't the dialysis working lou asked.

Well it is but eventually it will stop working and we just want to be prepared Ty said.

I'll do it Georgie said.

Of course we will both Jack and lisa said.

Me too lou said.

Thank you Amy and Ty both at the same time.

Your welcome everyone said.

Oh okay Luke said disappointed.
