The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 155: Road To Getting Better

Everyone was holding their breath.

Nearly two months into isolation, Doctor Patel came in to report the recent blood work done on Lucas. In anticipation of the news, there was complete silence.

Doctor Patel announced, ‘Based on the recent blood test, the new cells are growing! We are on the road to getting better!” 3

Immediately, Shantelle broke down in tears. Even Lucas cried because he knew it meant good news. Evan could not also hold it in. Tears also welled in the corners of his eyes as he turned to embrace his wife.

“Is it something to celebrate for? Yes! It means Lucas’ body is not rejecting his sibling’s blood, and the same transplanted cells did not react

defensively either. That is the best part about cord blood cells. They are naive and do not fight being introduced to foreign bone marrow,” Doctor Patel added.

Shantelle knew this to be true. If they had searched for bone marrow from an older donor, the same donor blood could potentially create abnormal antibodies. This was a common problem when introduced to a foreign host. It was the same story for transplant patients – one could reject a new organ.

“Are the worse days over? In my experience, it is. I am confident with our chosen path, from going with cord blood to growing them before the transplant.”

“However,” Doctor Patel raised his hand. “We must remain observant. The observation stage will continue until his first year after his transplant. For now, isolation is still required. Let’s let those cells grow in bigger numbers so that Lucas will have his protection – those white blood cells that will serve as his immune system.”

“When everything goes smoothly, and his numbers continue to grow in two weeks, we can start allowing him to tour the same hospital floor. He can play with other kids on the isolation floor and use the small playroom. We will slowly introduce him to the outside world so he can build new antibodies,” Lucas’ doctor added.

Doctor Patel smiled, looking at the family. Tears also stung his eyes, seeing their happiness. He said, “I am happy for your family, Doctor Shant, Mister Thompson. May Lucas continue to show more progress.”

He turned to Lucas and added, “And to Lucas, thank you for being brave and following what I tell you and what your parents tell you. I know it was boring here, but you did not complain, and I love that about you.”

“Thank you, Doctor Patel. Thank you so much.” Shantelle could not help but offer a hug to Lucas’ oncologist. He may have been strict in Lucas’ isolation, but it proved effective because Lucas did not acquire any infection within the isolation unit.
