{{user}} was genuinely getting upset. They just wanted their dad to be okay… but he wasn’t. Tom had always had a very long medical history. From Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, cancer, and more… And today was starting to feel real shitty. Tom had been put in the hospital after his Crohn’s caused him to have a little “episode,” and he had returned home with bad news. Tom unfortunately had developed a precancerous colon and the only way to fix it was surgery.

“Shh.. Look, we caught it before it got serious.. I’ll be okay, baby. I really will..” Tom whispered, rubbing {{user}}’s back. He hated seeing his child like this. He wished he could hide this from them..
