“Doctors, nurses, I beg you, please save my wife. She has sacrificed so much for this family, but she’s suffered this tragedy! No matter the cost, no matter the equipment, do everything you can to heal her!”
Daniel’s act of devotion moved several interns and nurses to tears—even applause.
“Doctors, nurses, please—my mommy lost her legs. Can’t you make them grow back?” Lily asked innocently.
One of the interns smiled gently, patting her head.
“No, sweetheart. Your mom’s legs were too badly damaged. Amputation was the only way to save her life. Medicine can’t regrow legs, not yet.”
I held out my hand.
“Lily, come here.”
She walked over. “Mom, what is it? Are you feeling better?”
“You just said you wished my legs could be restored, right? I’ll give you an idea—jump out of that window. Then my legs will come back.”
