There were days I would see Dr. Henrich in the early morning hours headed to get coffee and would say hello to him and he in return would greet me. There was a particular day that I wasn't myself that morning and I ran in to him. I had just been discharged after a month and 1/2 at UHS and I came back to work on campus. I met up with Dr. Henrich - him going to get his usual coffee at Starbucks. We said our hellos, but he mentioned he hadn't seen me around for some time and he could tell I was struggling and insisted I sit down to rest and offered his help. He asked what was going on with me and if I was okay. I explained to him that my kidneys were failing and that I had an autoimmune called ANCA. Little did I know that he was a nephrologist and he took the time with me to explain all about the auto immune I was dealing with. I was so shocked at his knowledge and his accurate feed back that I literally froze. He then said you stay right here and I will go get your friend Hilda H., and will have her come and assist you. I said you don't have to do that Dr. Henrich, but he would not take no for an answer. He knew I had a friend that worked at that time in his office and to my surprise, she did come out to meet me and we went to sit and we prayed together and she took me to my office. I will never forget that day - ever. I already had much respect for Dr. Henrich, but the respect for him grew even more. Because he cared. He cared enough to talk to me and assist me when he didn't have to. When he sent the video out to us about his going away to get treatment, I immediately sent him an email to let him know that I would be praying for him every day and he did respond back and thanked me. I believe he was a wonderful person and a person who cared. I will be lifting his family up in prayer at this trying time. But know that we have a Savior who loves us and His name is Jesus.
