You reveal so many emotions - worry, shock, and pain all coinciding with devotion to sweet baby Laura as she began to face medical care. The family photo is so touching and beautiful. I wish you and Laura could have been protected from this. Your empathic tenderness for Laura through this day of her diagnosis brought tears to my eyes. Because of your good hands and wisdom, she finally was able to get the critical care she needed and deserved.
You really did enter a whole new world. It hit me when you described it all as a foreign language and subculture. Your description of the air around you and your response when the doctor told you... wow.
I’m a nursing student and only understand the body systems in a basic (for a medical professional) way at this point. But I know enough now to hear Laura’s diagnosis and understand how incredibly serious it was, and wonder how she survived at all. She must’ve been a very strong little girl.
