The Quiet Drip

In March, 2018, my grandmother Ruth was diagnosed with AML-MRC, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, with myelodysplastic related changes. It originated as a disease called Myelodysplastic Syndrome, or MDS. She was 70 years old at the time. I often accompanied her to the hospital, sitting by her side and capturing moments from her experience.
