Chapter 178

Were ready to start. Dr. Lester says and nod his head to the nurse who is setting the anesthesia. She sets the needle and Noah starts to cry again. Both Bette and Tina is sitting by his face, holding his hand. Two mail nurses is standing by to hold him still, once they are ready to insert the big needle.

Sshh baby, you are doing so good, you are so brave. Its almost over. Almost over. Just one more ouch. Bette says in a low soft voice. Tina is wiping her tears, she hates to see her baby in so much pain. She holds his little hand tightly, while with the other holding on to Bette. A few minutes later the anesthesia is working and they proceed to insert the big needle.

I cant watch this. Tina says and leans her head really close to Noahs face, softly kissing it. Dr. Lester is in and starts to suck out some marrow fluids. Noah screams, like he has never screamed before.

Mommy. Nooooo. He screams. His whole face is read and tears are pouring out of his eyes.

Baby, Im right here. Its over soon. I promise baby, its over soon. Tina cries. She looks over at Bette who is softly stroking his chest and stomach area, trying to comfort him. A minute later its over and Dr. Lester removes the needle. A nurse puts a band aid over the area.

You did really good Noah. Such a brave little man. Dr. Lester says and pats his back. Noah continues to cry, he reaches out his arms to Bette, who lifts him off the table and into her arms right away. She hugs him tightly.

Oh, baby, its over. No more pain today okay, I promise. Bette says and stands up.

T, could you take him for a little while? I need to rest my back a few minutes. Bette says.

Sure. Tina replies and takes Noah.

Doctor, what now? Bette asks.

These results will be ready tomorrow morning Wait here, Ill call up to Dr. Lawrence, saving you the trip in case you can go home for the night. Dr. Lester says.

Okay, thank you. Bette replies.

Dr. Lester steps out of the room and calls Dr. Lawrence.
