INDIANAPOLIS — Walking into the outpatient center at Riley Hospital for children you see smiles.
On the oncology floor, you see red wagons, parents pulling their children.
The waiting room, quiet, but there’s a buzz of children playing.
Some of these kids in high spirits while others seem down, more worn out from treatment.
See, cancer is a word, one that can change a family.
In this waiting room the families might not know each other, but they have one thing in common. They’re all going through a parent’s worst nightmare.
“Sitting there watching your kid hover over the toilet and there’s nothing you can do you feel pretty helpless,” Chrissy Carel said.
