A Mother's Journey

The Sacramento Bee

Derek Madsen, 10, taunts his mother playfully as Cyndie tries to coax him down from a wall outside the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento on July 27, 2005. They are there to admit Derek for cancer surgery the following day. Derek dreads hospitals and Cyndie has a hard time getting the 10-year-old to enter.
