WYNTER“Ahhhhh!” That scream didn't sound like my daughter anymore.I froze, the tray of ice chips slipping from my hands and shattering against the tile. Dear goddess, please.“Mommy.” I heard her tiny voice call out, a heart wrenching growl accompanying the words almost immediately.My heart sank deep into my stomach as my body moved on instinct. Kicking the tray off my path, I sprinted towards her room.Without wasting any time I kicked the door and there she laid.Convulsing on the hospital bed, her spine bent so far off the mattress that I swear, I heard something crack.Her eyes lit up with hope of salvation as she saw standing just right there and then she growled again, tears streaming down her eyes as pain shot through her body.I could tell.That growl was a sound no five-year-old's body should ever make. Dark veins were visible through her skin like ink bleeding through paper, crawling up her throat, branching across her cheeks.My sweet little daughter.Fear coursed thro
