The male nurse that checked us in on the 10th thought I was in for a chemo treatment.
"Ummmm, no, I was just diagnosed with ALL about 45 minutes ago."
And then, that wonderful nurse, Jeremy, proceeded to educate us about the three kinds of leukemia
(Chronic, ALL, AML--all with odd little variations of their own).
And when I say WONDERFUL, Jeremy, like EVERY OTHER NURSE on 2 South, is WONDERFUL.
When it was time to leave his shift, he said, in the kindest voice, "I hope that when I come back at the end of the week, you won't be here." Meaning, I would have the Chronic kind, treatable at home with pills.
Later in the week, when his 11-7 shift started, he walked into the room.
"Umm, Hi, Jeremy....."
But that was ok, because he is such a caring nurse.
And he is from Texas.
And we beat them!
We always thank God for the little angels scattered about along our path and even if they are from Texas! Roll Tide Roll Texas!

Jeremy sounds wonderful and caring, we need to clone him for the hospital we have in our town.
