Today Mike took Jesse for her radiation treatment. They rode up in the elevator with another set of parents and a baby. The father looked at Mike and said, “Your baby has a tooth ache?” His wife elbowed him hard in the ribs. Mike explained that because of her stem cell transplant she has to wear a mask when in the hospital. Jesse was confused by his comment and said her teeth didn’t hurt.
He overheard the wife tell her husband as they walked away from the elevators, “That baby has something totally different. She is sick.”
When Mike told me I couldn’t help but laugh. Bless that man. I hope that the only pain his baby ever has is a tooth ache. 🙂
