A newly-released excerpt from Chapter 3 reads as follows:
“The doctors said they needed to perform another operation: The scar tissue from previous surgeries had formed on my baby Skylar’s intestines, twisting them and obstructing her bowels, the main source of her pain.After that, Skylar looked even worse—if that was possible. It was as if she herself had given up. Lord knows she was a fighter, but I guess her little body just couldn’t keep on taking it. The life had drained from her face; she was just skin and bones. Three days later they took her, this time to remove her kidney, they said.
Once inside, they discovered that the cancer had spread—it was in her liver, intestines, and dorsal muscles. I was at home a few days later when the oncologist called to tell me they’d placed Skylar on a ventilator. He suggested one last operation. They warned us the procedure was extremely dangerous.
However, they said if Skylar made it through, it was very likely she would survive. Those eight hours in the waiting room were the worst of hundreds. Sharise and her family, my family, Neil, Heidi... all of us sat huddled together anxiously waiting for word from the doctors...”
