Chapter ten- Toby
Toby was packing the last of Carlton's clothes into a suitcase when Lily came in looking very happy.
"Question," Toby said cutting off Lily before she could make her announcement, " Did my mother get Carlton this teddy bear hoodie?" Toby held up a fuzzy hooded sweatshirt bear ears on the hood.
"Obviously." Lily snarked.
"Sorry buddy!" Toby said folding up the sweatshirt and adding it to the suitcase.
"I have some good news." Lily said.
"If it's a matching hoodie for me, I'm not in to it. " Toby teased.
"No, I was able to get Carlton in to see the top children's cardiovascular doctor in the US."
"Ah..?" Toby was lost for words.
"She's in Chicago so it's not that far. I figured while we were so close we should see if we could get in." Lily explained.
"But Carlton's doctor here already tested his heart and said it was fine."
"And I'm sure it is. But you know people with downs syndrome are more likely to have heart defects."
"Yes, but Lily we have already had him go through all the tests and he was cleared." Toby tried to reason.
"I know that but, what if they missed something?"
Toby sighed, "If it would make you feel better."
"It would." Lily nodded. "I'm sure he's fine but-"
"Yeah, okay of course we will go." Toby said.
He knew going would make Lily feel better but he was worried what if they did find something?
