He listens for a moment.
“Well, there is a murmur,but that doesn’t mean much,” he says. “That’s very common.” He turns to Katy. “Get that monitor going. Make sure the NICU is alerted.”
He shakes our hands again. “I’ll be watching even when I’m not in the room. You’re in good hands until Dr. Jamison can make rounds tomorrow.”
Then he’s gone.
I feel strange, like nobody’s listening. But Adrianna cleans the gel and Katy brings over a blue gownwith storks on it. “Let’s change you before we start adding all the straps and gizmos,” she says.
“Should I call your parents?” I ask.
“Wait until morning,” Corabelle says. She seems more in shock now than calm. I don’t know what she’s feeling other than hopefully relief that the baby is still with us.
“Okay.” I drag a chair near her bed. “So we just wait.”
“That’s what we do here,” Katy says,tying Corabelle’s gown. “A whole lot of waitin’.”
