We just arrived at the hospital and got Lena admitted. They took her vitals
And gave her a gown to slip on,
Abbigail and Nathaniel came over and picked up the kids, l packed them up a bag because we weren't sure if the doctors will be releasing Lena today. I already got us a set of changing clothes just in case, the nurse comes in and started an IV
And check Lena's feeding tube.
I'm holding her hand as l sat beside Lena, the nurse was on the other side
Do you know when the doctor is coming. I asked brandy the nurse
She's here making her rounds
She knows that you guys are here,
I know it's scary but it's really not that bad. All we're gonna do is stick a thin needle in and then your donor bone marrow will insert, we have to wait a few days to see if it takes. I know this is difficult for you and your family
Brandy reassures us, all the risk
What could go wrong. I'm not supposed to say anything about the two people who have donated their blood, but what l'm about to tell you can't leave this room. The woman who came in name is Dana Adams
And other one was Maggie something l don't quite remember her last name
Brandy tells us, Lena has a shock look on her face. It hits me the lady and my wife shared the same last name
What are the odds this could be Lena's Birth mother, l hope my gut is wrong. You three have the same exact blood type brandy goes on to explain
What a coincidence God works in mysterious ways. Brandy tells Lena and I, okay your all set here. When the doctor comes in I'll be back in with her shortly Brandy said, she leaves the room. Lena breaks down and cries, I climbed into the bed and comfort her in my arms. Baby let it all out, l'm here Stef whispers in Lena's ear. Why didn't she give me up all those years ago Lena sobs, l don't know love maybe one day you can asked so you'll have some closer
I kissed her on the head, where the fuck has been all this time. All the foster homes l been in some of my foster parents were cruel towards me
They treated me like I was nothing
I was locked up in closets and l didn't eat for days at a time. The one family abuse me emotional telling me nobody's ever gonna went me
Because l was too needy and clingy
That's when l stop speaking. She cut my hair and called me horrible names
Which l wanna repeat, she's only doing this to free her conscience
Because she feels guilty Lena chocks out. Baby calm down before you make yourself sick, let's do a paternity test and see if she's really your biological mother. And then we can take from there, the doctor comes in
And greets us good morning.
She looks over Lena's chart, so how has everything been Lena she says
I can barely keep anything down
All my hair has fallen complete
How the hell would you feel to loss 99 percent of your weight and hair
Lena States, babe she's only trying to help you get better l said to Lena
It's ok Stef she's just expressing her feelings l don't take offense to her out burst. I rather for her to let it out then bottle it up and not cope, the doctor explains. I'm going over here and wash my hands and we can begin the procedure. It's a three hour process
You have to stay here for a few days so we can closely monitor you to see if the bone marrow took or not, you aren't allowed any outside visitors in the event you could be exposed to outside germs. Your wife is free to stay, Stef when you go out you will have to put on a sterile clothing
Once you return. We don't want Lena catching any infections, they can put her at risk. The doctor explains to me
