“Thank you, but can we wait on that for a little while? Not long. Maybe an hour to think about it and possibly get some more information?” John asked.
“Of course,” Dr. Carter said. “Do you have any other questions I can hopefully answer for you?”
“None right now,” John said, shaking his head. “Right now, the only thing I want is to see my daughter.”
“Stay here, and I will have someone take you up to her room,” Dr. Carter said as he got to his feet. His hand was on the doorknob as he said, “I know it is impossible, but try to stay calm if you can. The last thing Hailey needs is for you to go down from stress or have a heart attack. I have seen it happen in the past and do not want to see it in the future. Remember to take care of yourselves along with your daughter.”
With that, Dr. Cart
