Look Inside The Cure

Excerpt:
“Your daughter is some little fighter,” Dr. Hofley said softly, shaking his head and looking from John Crowley to his wife, Aileen. “I wish she would just close her eyes and rest, but she’s determined to stay awake.”

As they entered the hospital’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, John and Aileen saw Megan lying on her back, her eyes open, scanning the room. Her eyes settled on them and immediately filled with tears. Aileen rushed over to kiss her.

John, still incredulous that Megan had lived through the morning, rubbed her matted hair gently. “All right, kid,” he said, staring gravely into her big dark eyes. “If you want to fight, we’ll fight too.”
