Chapter 85 The Medical Scare

• Emma's doctor noticed a heart murmur in March during a routine paediatric visit that immediately turned into a medical emergency. This sent the family into a period of extreme anxiety and medical complexity that tested their ability to remain hopeful in the face of real uncertainty.
• "Dr. Peterson wants us to see a pediatric cardiologist quickly," Grace told Max over the phone, her voice tense with repressed fear. "She heard something irregular in Emma's heartbeat and doesn't want to wait for a regular referral appointment."
• Without delay, Max said, "I'm leaving the client meeting right now," putting aside his work duties to head home and help his family through what might be a life-threatening medical emergency.
