A Glint Of Hope
The receptionist sighed sympathetically. "I understand, ma'am. Let me see if I can find someone else who's available to speak with you."
Sarah's heart skipped a beat as she waited anxiously for the receptionist to return. She couldn't shake the feeling that time was running out, and she needed help fast. Just when she was about to lose hope, a voice came on the line. "Hello, this is Dr. Stevens. How can I assist you today?" Sarah felt a glimmer of hope flicker within her chest. Maybe this doctor would be able to help her.
Noah’s Symptoms
She quickly explained Noah's symptoms, her voice cracking with emotion. Dr. Stevens listened attentively, asking several questions along the way.
When Sarah had finished, there was a moment of silence before he spoke again. "I think it would be best if you brought Noah in for an examination. “Is that okay with you? I can clear my schedule for this afternoon if that’s alright. Can you make it here by 3 o'clock?".
Relief Floods In
Relief flooded through Sarah as she thanked Dr. Stevens profusely. Finally, someone was taking her seriously. She quickly hung up the phone and rushed to inform her husband of the progress she’d made.
Henry was thankful for the news. Everything had been getting to him, and although Sarah knew he’d give his life up first before cracking under the pressure, she could see that all this was taking a toll on him. With a tight hug, she assured him they’d be okay. He let out a slow exhale, the corners of his lips curling over so slightly, a sad smile. It was like he didn’t believe her words.
