Life’s too short
Chapter 8:
At 3:00 my mom and I sat in the waiting room of the doctor’s office. We waited for our name to be called. When it was the assistant led us into the examining room at the end. She told me the doctor would come in soon. Sure enough 3 minutes later he was here. My doctor was Dr. Hefner. He looked down my throat with his flashlight. Then he put a stick down my throat and put his hands up and down my neck. “Very strange, very unusual, I do not know what this is.” Dr. Hefner mumble under his breath. My mom must of heard him say this too. “What do you mean you don’t know what it is?” she said. “It’s not your common strep throat…I don’ t think it is a virus at all.” He said. I couldn’t believe what he was saying…wait…what was he saying? “I think you should take her to the hospital and have her get a cat scan because this isn’t normal and I can’t help her.” He said. O my gosh what was happening to me I wondered. “Okay Doctor. Casey lets go to the Emergency room.” My mom said. There were so many unanswered questions I was so confused. What was going on? The next thing I knew was I was in the car and on the highway towards the hospital.
