Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Make put his face in his hands, sighing. "I don't know if we could afford it if we can't get insurance to cover it." "Oh, six days, if you count the one you had today. I know. I want to come home too! It's boring here. I'm not even allowed to go outside." Amiya replied, wishing for nothing more than things returning to how they were before she got sick. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 "I know, but we can't let her go on like this," Natalie said softly as she rocked the baby. "Why can't anything be easy?" she mumbled. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 "I know honey. I don't know what to do either." Mark said, defeated. "I know you hate needles, but I'm so happy you're helping me get better sissy" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 "So, she was cooperative with the shot this morning?" Natalie asked, trying to change the subject as Lydia tried to climb up on her lap. She shifted the baby to make room, then pulled the toddler up. "I was sure she was going to pitch a fit. As much as I hate being here away from the girls, I can't say I'm sorry that you're the one stuck doing it!" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 "Yeah, she didn't fuss really. She was miffed that I wouldn't let her eat her treat until she got home though. I didn't think it'd be fair." Mark said. "I know, I wanna come home too. I miss everyone." Amiya said, hating the hospital room she was confined to most of the day. "MaMa, I have to go potty." She said with a slight blush. Another think she hated, was that she was too weak to get up on her own to even use the bathroom. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 "Okay, hang on." Natalie quickly handed the girls off to Mark, despite Lydia's loud protest, and helped Amiya out of bed. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Amiya struggled to walk to the bathroom, her legs and body weak form lack of nutrition and the heavy medicine. "Shh it's alright honey. Mommy is just helping your sister to the potty." Mark said, trying to calm Lydia. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 "Don't worry, I got you," Natalie reassured Amiya as she supported her. "Almost there." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Amiya struggled, but successfully got into the small private bathroom. With help, she managed to make it before having an accident. "Mommy, I don't wanna be all weak. I wanna be normal again." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 "I know honey, but it's the chemo that makes you weak, and you need the chemo to get rid of all the leukemia cells," Natalie said. She didn't have the heart to tell the girl that the chemo would be getting even more intense - and accompanied by radiation - leading up to the transplant, to make sure none of her bone marrow remained.

Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Amiya frowned, and started doing her business on the toilet. "How much longer do I have to have chemo for? I hate the chemo. And this stupid IV!" She said, frustrated with her total lack of freedom and normality. She couldn't even get out of bed on her own. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 "About a week," Natalie answered. "Lark has four more days of shots, and on the last day of the shots they will start the stem cell harvest. Sometimes it only takes two or three days to get enough stem cells, but it might take longer." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Amiya sighed, but nodded. She wiped and flushes, standing back up with help. "Okay. I just want to be normal again, and be back home." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 "I know honey, but you have to be patient. It's going to take some time for your immune system to get strong enough for you to leave," Natalie said as she helped Amiya back to bed. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Amiya sighed, that was what she was always told 'it's gonna take some time'. When she was back in bed, she got situated under the covers again. "I miss you guys all the time." She said to Lark upon returning. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Once Amiya was settled Lark crawled up to the head of the bed and snuggled up next to her. Lydia struggled to get off Mark's lap and pointed to her oldest sister, wanting to sit with her. "Miya! Miya!" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Amiya smiled, snuggling up with her oldest younger sister. "Okay honey, but be gentle." Mark said, setting Lydia on the bed. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Lydia wiggled her way between the girls and rested her head on Amiya's shoulder. "Sissy wuv you." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Amiya hugged both her sisters weakly, and smiled. "I love you too. Mommy said im gonna get to come soon." Mark looked over at his three older girls. "Should I get the girls ready to go?" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Natalie nodded. "It's not pretty when that stuff kicks in," she said with a grimace, hating that her little girl had to suffer the vomiting and diarrhea day after day. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Mark nodded. "Okay girls, it's time for us to go. Amiya has to have her medicine now. Say goodbye to mommy and sissy" He took the baby from Natalie, and placed her on his hip, checking to see if she was still dry. "Lydia, do you need a fresh diaper yet?" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 "But I don't want to go! I didn't even get to see mommy yet!" Lark protested, as Natalie has been preoccupied with the babies and helpihng Amiya. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Mark frowned, hating having to be the bad guy. "We'll come back tomorrow okay? Why don't we go to the gift shop, and I'll let each of you pick out a small toy or treat?" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Lark gave in and slowly let go of Natalie. "You promise we'll come back?" she asked. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Mark smiled and kissed his wife goodbye after hugging Amiya. He got hold of the two older ones, and set off. "Lydia, do you need a fresh diaper yet?" Amiya waved goodbye solemnly. "Is it time for the chemo MaMa?" Link to comment
