The doctor walks in and I jolt up.
"Sorry sir, I didn't know you were sleeping."
"Oh, it's fine Doctor Prior."
"I have bad news." Doctor Prior says with a straight face. My stomach drops, and my throat goes dry. I know this is horrible.
"Go ahead Doctor, you can tell me."
"Chrissy's white blood cells are really high which leads us to the conclusion that your daughter has cancer."
"What no she can't have cancer!"
"She does sir, we don't know what kind so we have to do a bone marrow test. I scheduled it for in about 5 minutes, so your nurse will come in and prep Chrissy, then she will be moved to a special clean lab, where the test will be taken, you are welcome to join her, but you will have to wash up really good, sir."
"Ok. I would like to go with Chrissy."
"I will show you the way to the lab, the nurse will transport Chrissy when she is ready, I have to inform you that this will be the worst pain ever for Chrissy, because we have to stick a big, fat, giant needle in her upper leg, to get inside the bone. The sound will sound like we are breaking her leg, but I assure you that we are not, Sir."
"We?"
"Yes, two nurses, and I. I will do the worst part which is actually sticking the needle in her leg."
"I understand, and I still want to go."
"Okay, sir, then would you please follow me?"
"Yes Doctor."
I follow the doctor and he leads me to a white and clean room, after we clean up, and Chrissy is wheeled in.
