Reclined on a tan medical chair, Brandi Morovsky has her sleeve rolled up as blood is drawn from her right arm. She wears a mask as staff at the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center makes sure the process is going smoothly.
It has been a difficult day for Morovosky. It is January 13.
“Trying not to cry. Sorry,” she said.
Morovsky is the mother of two children. On this day, one year ago, she took them to the doctor’s office for a check-up.
“It was it was tough. It’s really tough,” Morovsky said.
But the routine appointment turned into something else.
“We ended up in the hospital with a leukemia diagnosis,” she said.
Her daughter, Amy, who was two at the time, had been diagnosed with cancer.
“So it wasn’t until I got gotten home and looked it up and researched and realized the severity of the cancer,” Morovsky said.
Little Amy had to undergo treatment, receiving seven blood transfusions.
“That’s when it started to hit like, oh gosh, like what if there isn’t any blood for my daughter?” Morovsky said.
Thankfully there was… and Amy was able to receive those transfusions. She is now in pre-school making plenty of friends.
