The Hardest Part

A technician is going to echo Ainsleigh's heart again today. When she's done, she'll write a report. Then a pediatric cardiologist is going to read the report and examine the images from the echo and decide whether he thinks the ductus is still open and whether he believes that the coarctation is a problem.  If the latter remains unclear, he may consult a few other cardiologists.  When he's got a Final Answer, he'll report the answer to a neonatologist, who will report it to a nurse practitioner, who will report it to Ainsleigh's bedside nurse, who will report it to Sarah, who in turn will call and report it to me.  Whatever the results are, I think I can handle it.  But the waiting for information to trickle all the way down to me is simply excruciating.
