Sylan looked up at the two people in front of him. "Corison's ... illness... Is more like a very bad case of pnumonia. The only thing is her body is what is creating the fluid, not to mention she has weak lungs." He stopped for a moment frowning. "The doctors thought it was a type of cancer at first and tried the radiation thing... and it helped for a while. When she turned 8 she stopped responding to the treatments."

Lanie's face went blank....she didn't know what to say or do, she didn't know what any of this meant.

David's eyes went wide. " s-so...she's dying?" he said choking up.

Sylan nodded silently looking down at the floor. "Unless she gets a lung transplant ... yes... It will eventually kill her."

David sat there shocked." i mean...is she on a list to get lung transplant...i mean...w-we have to be able to do something more.." she said almost in histarics.

Lanie simply stood up and walked upstairs to her bedroom. she looked at a photo oh Corison, Sylan and herself. her lip trembled and she sobed into her pillow. you could hear here faintly from downstairs.

"She's been on the list since she stopped responding to the treatments, all we can do is wait." Sylan said. "David calme down... getting histaricalwon't help her." He fell silent and listened to the faint sound of sobbing from upstares.

David calmed himself, a tear sliped out of his eyes. he quickly wiped it away. he just sat there not knowing what to say or do.

about 30 mins later Lanie walked into Corison's room. still sobing. she didn't say anything she just climbed into Corison's bed and held onto her sister.

Corison opened her eyes and looked over at Lanie. "Lanie ... "She turned on her side and wrapped her sister in a hug. "Shh ... It's ok."

Corison just hugged her sister. Her sister knew now... what could she say. "Where's David?" She asked.

Corison streatched and sat up. Her fever had gond dwon considerably. "I think you soup helped ..." She said smileing as she stood up and puled on the silky robe that hung on the foot of her bed. "Come on, lets go down stares." She held out her hand to Lanie.

Lanie got out of the bed and went over to Corison's mirror. " i look horrible." she said trying not to laugh.

David still sat on the couch not saying anything.

they walked down the stairs. Lanie helping corison as if she were glass. she knew Corison was going to get tired of that.

David heard them coming down the stairs and jumped up. "corison." he ran over to her and embraced her not wanting to let go.

Corison hugged him back. "I'm ok ... Shh!" She ran hre fingers through David's hair. "I'm here ..."

Sylan watched them. He had done the same thing years ago when he found out she had stopped responding to the treatments.

Lanie went over to Sylan and burried her face in his sholder not knowing what else to do.

Sylan wrapped his arms around Lanie. "Well now they know." He said out loud.

Corison pulled away and looked up at David. She brushed away the tears on his cheek. "I'm still here... And I'm not made of glass. Don't treat me like I am..."
