    Author Notes:

    Transplant time – Part 2: Complications

                “How is she?” 

                “As I was saying, Bette had a thromboembolism, in other words, a blood clot formed during the liver extraction, reached the blood stream and blocked a blood vessel and unfortunately an important one that is located in her lung which compromised significantly her respiration for a while. We were able to detect and solve the problem putting her in an artificial respiration and giving her some anti-coagulants drugs. But those drugs are dangerous right now because they could make her lose more blood in her surgical wound. Anyway… she is receiving all the attention and medical resources we have available and she will be in the Intensive Care Unit for a couple of days. As soon as she is more stable we will perform a Magnetic Resonance to detect if there are other points of embolism.”

     

                “Is it very serious? Is her life threatened?”

     

                “To be very honest Alice, it is preoccupying and it can be very serious, but we have now the situation under control and we are very optimistic about her full recovery. But like I said before, these 72 hours are decisive for both of them.”

     

                “And how is Tina?”

     

                “She is still on surgery. Everything is going well, so apart from the usual risks and worries of a transplant, she is fine.”

     

    ————————————————————————————————————————————-

     

                Two days later, Bette was still on the Intensive Care Unit taking anti-coagulant drugs and breathing with mechanical help. A resonance indicated she had another blood clot in her left leg but nothing more. Her condition demanded especial measures and she would stay at the Unit for a couple more days at least. She was alternating the state of unconsciousness and awareness but she couldn´t receive visitors nor talking yet.

    Tina’s condition was stable enough for her to be transferred from the Post-operative Unit to a room in the Transplant Unit. She started to take the anti-rejection drugs and despite of all the care about preventing an infection she could receive visitors if they used masks and gown. All the gang had already visited her except Bette and Tina starting to get suspicious of this fact, which didn’t go unnoticed by the gang. Even the flowers sent by Kit in Bette’s name hadn’t been enough to placate Tina’s fears. Tina was increansigly upset and finally Alice decided to talk to her about that while playing with her hair.       

                   “Tk, wanna tell me what’s bothering you”

     

           “It’s just… (sigh) it’s Bette”

     

           “What about Bette? She came to see you when you were unconscious, but she’s really busy with work and Angelica, she would be here if she could Tina, you know that.”

     

           Tina rolled her eyes in disbelief as if saying she knew Bette and couldn’t be fooled. “She would be here if it mattered to her Alice, nothing stops Bette when she doesn’t want to be stopped, I just…”

     

           After a few minutes she whispered almost in the verge of tears “I thought she at least cared…”Alice was upset and for a moment wavered on what tell to Tina, but before she could say anything she was surprised by Caroline that arrived to the room in that instant.

    “Tina, I think it’s time for you to know the truth about Bette…”

     

    and all that Alice could muttered was a “Shit.”

     

     

     NEXT: Caroline tells Tina the truth? Changes in Bette´s condition
