NEW kid learns he has 3 days to live or die |
3 DAYS TO LIVE 1 DAY TO DIE The thunder woke me up. My mom was sleeping right next to my bed; the hospital room was as silent as a grave. It was 12:00 in the morning I closed my eyes and prayed for a normal life or even three great days to live, a tear rolled down my cheeks and I fell asleep. DAY 1I found myself in a new room the next day, I was alone and I could stand up without using as much energy as I did. The entire room was white and had no markings as if it was a new block. The door opened and a doctor came in and handed me a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. He told me I was being discharged from the hospital. I found my parents waiting for me at the lobby, tears of joy ran through my cheeks as I hugged them. We left the hospital as my friends came to say good bye. For the first time I saw how the hospital looked like from the outside. It was a short drive from the hospital to our home and a lot had changed like the little plants had matured into great trees and our neighbors' dog, Cathy was no longer a pup but a full on bull dog. When we arrived home, I found my younger sister with another girl I didn't recognize until I was told she was my cousin. All my relatives were happy to see me alive and kicking, it was as if I had resurrected or something. We had a great party till 9:00 pm and everyone left. I was still confused since everything went on so fast. That night my parents told me I was given a miracle drug that could save me from cancer or just give me three days. Just as I had asked for. I knew I had to make the best out of those five days or I would die without living life, I didn't shed a single tear, I have been ready for death for the last 2 years and now I'm being told I have 3 more days to live I can't spend them crying. I went to bed knowing that I will be fine or if not I will have the best 72 hours of my life and will spend it all in my highest potential. DAY 2I woke up without my usual moans and groans it was like my entire body was remodeled and was a robot on the inside. I really didn't care what had happened to me; I just stuck to my fun filled 3 days. My parents had planned an entire day at wincers Water Park. We had a blast. I never had such fun in the last 2 years and I didn't even feel tired or weak I felt amazing and I ate thousands of fries not some healthy vegetables like I did in the hospital. As we were having lunch my younger sister told me how happy she was to see me. She grew up for 2 years with a brother she had never seen. Here I did not know if tomorrow will be my last day on planet earth or a whole new life is waiting for me. I guess only time could tell for sure if I will live a full potential life. After noon we went to meet Lincoln, he's been a great doctor and friend to me. My parents told me it was nothing much just a quick check up, it didn't seem like much but 2 years ago that was what they told me only to find myself transferred from hospital to hospital in search of a cure. Dr. Lincoln was the same old doctor with his wired sense of humor after all the normal check up I was free to go and turns out I was in great shape. Some of the kids I was with in the cancer ward were also discharged, that's when I learnt that the world was getting rid of brain cancer piece by piece and I was the pioneer. Back at home news anchors were on the rage to interview me as if I was some kind of celebrity; they asked me like a million questions at a go. All the flashes from their cameras made my vision blurry and I felt dizzy as if the entire world was rotating at a million miles an hour. I lost control of my body and fainted, the last thing I heard was my sister shout my name. I hit the ground hard and all went black. DAY 3My personal beeping alarm was back, it woke me up every day except yesterday I guess my one day at LE RELAXATION WORLD HOTEL was over. I was in an operating room, again I didn't give myself much hope this time, maybe cancer will never be treatable and I was just having a wacky dream that I was cured for a day. The door was opened and my mom came in with a doctor, I swallowed hard ready to hear that I have a day to live. I couldn't believe what I heard. My brain tumor was REMOVED the previous day. I couldn't believe it I was healed for real this time, it was all over the news; brain cancer was no longer an issue to anyone. I was discharged again and this time I was sure it was the last time I will see the hospital. That night as I lay in bed I realized how life was mysteriously wired, I mean here I am a 14 year old boy who is fully ready to die only to be told I no longer have a tumor in my brain. To every kid out there, life isn't short and the almighty is watching after you, I may not be fully healed but at least I can still live a perfect life for now GOD IS GREAT and is watching after all of us. That night I wrote a book of everything that happened in the last few days to inspire every child out there, whatever country you may be a day might be all you need to get well soon BEST WISHES FROM THE AUTHOR.
