Meeting Christian

I decided to head up to Seattle children's hospital to meet the grandson l recently found out about
I felt it was my duty to see my late daughter's little boy and tell if I could get tested to become his donor. I didn't want my granddaughter Francesca to go through that type of procedure, l enter inside the hospital went over to the registration desk to see what floor he was on. I asked the woman what wing was Christian on
She told me to take the elevator up to the cancer unit which was on the fourth floor, l thanked her and followed the errors to we're the elevators were. I stand and wait for the elevator comes down to the first floor, l didn't tell my husband l was coming here. I owe this to McKenzie
Dinged the doors open up l step in taking it up all the way to the 4th floor
Hopefully they'll let me get tested to see if l'm a match, there were other people on the elevator. I don't know why l'm so nervous, l should have stopped off at the gift shop and got Andrew something l don't know to much about him. The only thing I do know, he's six years old l'm on the fourth floor l walked out of the elevator and walk straight down the hall looking straight ahead. I go up to the nurses station, can I help you ma'am the young woman asks me
Yes my name is Margaret Adams and I wanted to know how l can be a donor for Christian Matthews Margaret said
First we need to test your blood to see if your match, then you'll be required to filled out the paperwork. As you know he's been put on the donor's registration list can l asked what is your relationship to the little guy
The nurse said, his biological mother was my daughter Margaret replied
It must be sad hearing about his father, Mr. Matthews hasn't been up here for a few days but his fiancee has come almost every day to see Andrew
He seems to fond of his step mom Sha said. Okay well I'm gonna go see Andrew, for a few then I'll come back and have you do my blood work Margaret tells sha as she went down to Andrews'room. Margaret knocks on the door, come in she hears a woman say. Margaret entered inside and sees the little boy who's the splitting image of her daughter McKenzie, Andrew had sandy brown hair and grey eyes. Hi l'm Margaret
Andrew's grandma Margaret shakes Courtney's hand, l know we've never met before you must have a lot of questions Margaret said. I do but now is not the time, how's Christian been feeling Margaret questioned, their still looking for him a donor David doesn't want him on the registry
I spoke with the Andrew's doctor's this morning they said he's getting weaker. David has been MIA for the past couple of days I've called his phone and it keeps going to voicemail
The last time he told me he was going go visit a group home and convince a Lena foster Adams to let Francesca become Andrew's donor since she is his sister. I told him we should find some one else but he adamant on her
Helping Andrew Courtney said to me
I don't know how much he's told you
Well Francesca was my daughter's little girl Margaret told Courtney
I didn't know that he's never mentioned her, David is a very mysterious man he barely talks about his son's mother. All l know from his mother is that she left Andrew when he was a new born baby Courtney explains, mmm interesting Margaret says to herself. Hi Christian l'm your grandmother Margaret the older woman introduces herself to the boy
Hi he States, Margaret takes a seat next to Andrew's bed. I'm gonna go down to the cafeteria and get a snack
Christian behave yourself sweet boy
Courtney said to her step son, alright mommy can you please bring me back a cherry icy Christian asked
Alright sweetheart Mrs. Margaret can I get you something Courtney politely asks, you can bring a cup of tea Margaret responds Courtney leaves out the room to give Margaret some time alone with Andrew, Ms. Margaret how come we've never met before little Andrew questions the older woman. I didn't know about you until a week ago but l was your birth mom's mother Margaret, Daddy told me that I have a sister named Francesca who's going to donate her blood to save me Andrew says. Margaret doesn't want to tell Andrew the truth, really that sounds nice
I have some pictures of your big sister
Margaret takes out her phone and shows Christian photos of her three granddaughters, who are these girls
Christian inquires. Well the two girls are hope and Grace their twins and the other is your sister Francesca Margaret explains. She kinda looks like me, only her hair is a different color than mine. Do you think mommy will mind if I met her sometime Christian States, tell you what I will see what I can do Margaret wants Christian to meet Francesca.
