Chapter 29 - Rudy’s Second Fight
Rudy’s lungs remained weaker than those of his siblings.
At six months old, he developed pneumonia.
Walter rushed him back to Elena.
The old fear returned.
The incubator.
The shallow breathing.
The tiny paw beneath Ruth’s blanket.
Grace waited outside the treatment room just as she had before.
Walter sat beside her.
“He fought once.”
Grace pressed against his leg.
Rudy recovered after three days.
When Elena carried him out, Grace covered his face with frantic kisses.
Walter laughed until he cried.
Rebecca placed one hand on his shoulder.
“You saved him twice.”

Walter shook his head.
“Grace saved him first. She stayed.”
