Amy's 'momentary trouble'

Amy went to have her Chemo treatment today, but she wasn’t able to have it as her White Blood Cell count was too low (1.3). Normally this wouldn’t bother me too much, but I blame this on the nurse that oversaw Amy’s treatment last week. You see, there is a notation at the bottom of her chart that instructs those treating her that after each weeks treatment, they need to dispense 5 doses of a drug that helps keep her White Blood Cell count up. Well…that didn’t happen last week. I talked to Amy about this and she said that her nurse last week was kind of brusque and that she felt like she was ‘processed’ rather than cared for. In the nurses hurried state she wasn’t thorough and as a direct result, Amy’s counts were too low this week. Sure it’s frustrating, but on the other hand, Amy will have 19 days off before her next treatment and maybe that was God’s way of providing Amy a break…a respite from the side effects of stomach pains, exhaustion and loss of strength.

This is Amy's story as seen and told by me – V
