The Last Exhale
“Carter?” I turn my attention to the doctor tending to Rene. “Your wife has developed pneumonia. Her immune system is weak and being out in the rain wasn’t the best idea in her condition.”
“Exactly how bad is her condition?”
He looks over the chart in his hands, closes it shut. “She’s pretty sick. She’s more prone to catching infections, and when she gets them, it hits hard. We’ll move her to ICU, pump her with fluids, keep her warm. Treat the infection as best we can. We’ll keep an eye on her, ...but there’s not much else we can do at this stage of her cancer.”
“At this stage?”
He shifts in his stance, raises an eyebrow. Questions my questions as if I should know the answers. “I’m sure her oncologist can explain further.” He quickly walks away before I can demand any more answers.
Wednesday, Rene and I were fighting in a rainstorm over the death of our son and our marriage. Here it is Friday, and she’s fighting for her life. It’s frustrating because there’s nothing I can do.MoreLess
