Today’s story is a real tear-jerker which feature a 2-year old named Sophie who got very sick on May 18, 2017. Up until this point she ws a completely healthy and normal little girl. At first her parents thought she just had allergies, a bad cold or the flu but for some reason the sickness just wouldn’t go away.
One day she could barely breathe so they rushed her to a doctor who gave her an exam and thought it might just be a really bad allergy. She was scheduled to take an allergy test just a few days later however this would never happen. A day later the little one stopped breathing completely!
They quickly called 9-11 to get an ambulance to go to the hospital. What at first seemed like a bad allergy or cold snow balled into a horrifying nightmare that would be so much worse. At the hospital they did a scan of her chest and found a softball size mass in the poor girls chest.
Somehow she got T-cell lymphoma which is a rare cancer that if untreated could lead to death. Her parents were now living the worst possible nightmare. The little girl got chemo and doctors thought because they caught it relatively early it would be successful. But things would quickly take a turn for the worse as the chemo didn’t take and the lump began to spread to other parts of her body.
They now spent most of their days by the girl’s bed at the hospital, watching over their little angel and praying for a miracle recovery. Doctors decided that since the chemo had failed, they would attempt a stem cell transplant. While this family was going through hell, her mom noticed a nurse who tried to do her job and be unnoticed. At first her mom thought it was a bit strange how the nurse was so calm, quiet and did her best to not get in the way and cause any further stress.
Sophie’s mom who was at the hospital everyday, began to watch this nurse day in and day out. One afternoon when the nurse wasn’t looking she took a picture of her. Sophie’s mother and father created a facebook page for support and to document Shelby’s cancer. Mom posted the photo of the nurse to she took to the page and titled it “I See You…”
