Henrietta

"Mr. and Mrs. Dixon," Dr. Hayden gently said, hoping not to wake Henrietta. "May I have a word?"Nodding, they made their way out of Henrietta's room, and gently closed it."What is it, doctor?" Mr. Dixon wanted to know. "What's going on?""I am so, so sorry to have to tell you this, but Henrietta is not responding to the treatments, and they are doing nothing for her.""What does that mean for now?" Mrs. Dixon asked, tears streaming down her cheeks, and knowing what the answer was."At this point, even though it would be the hardest thing in the world for all of us, we would stop treatments."
