Miracles from Heaven Page #4

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

Okay.

You and I collide...

Okay.

I brought your book.

Here you go.

- Hi.

- Hi.

What doctor are you here to see?

Dr. Sam Nurko.

And what time is your appointment?

Well, I don't have an appointment.

My daughter is Annabel Beam.

That's her right there.

I'm Christy Beam.

I've probably called 100 times.

Anna's doctors have called,

they've written letters.

We're from Texas.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

The doctor can't see you

without an appointment.

Do you have kids of your own?

Because if you do,

you'll understand why I flew all this way

without an appointment.

Is Dr. Nurko available?

I'm sorry, ma'am,

but he's got a nine-month waiting list.

I know. We're on it.

Here.

It's all right here,

how sick Anna is.

She starts her day with Align/Culturelle

for digestive immune support.

At 9:
00 a.m., she takes rifaximin,

an antibiotic for bacterial overgrowth

in the GI tract.

She takes hyoscyamine

for intestinal spasms.

At 12:
30, she needs gabapentin for...

To regulate her intestinal nerves,

and lately she can't make it more

than three to four hours without tramadol.

She's always in pain.

I'm so sorry.

I have to check in other patients.

Uh, Zach. Zach will...

Bye.

...um, be happy to explain

our patient policy to you...

Look, Anna's always played soccer.

When she was little,

we used to call her Monkey.

Because she was forever

climbing on everything.

I'm sorry.

And then one day she got sick.

Out of nowhere, she just got sick.

And nobody knew what it was.

And they told me,

"Oh, she's lactose intolerant."

"She has acid reflux."

"It's an infection."

And I knew it wasn't. I'm her mother.

And I knew, I just knew

it was something bad.

I'm not sure Anna can wait much longer.

I am so sorry.

I want to help you, I really do,

but I've only had this job for two weeks

and I really need it.

I'm just doing what I'm told.

Of course.

Of course, I'm sorry.

I'm just trying to help my little girl.

- Sorry.

- If something opens up

- I'll let you know.

- Excuse me.

I'm so sorry.

Come on.

Are you okay, Mom?

Yes, baby.

You need to eat, Mom.

You can't let yourself get iron deficient.

Don't worry about me.

Here, take these.

- Oh, God. Great.

- It's okay.

Now, this day's just gettin' better

and better, huh?

Thank you, sir.

I'll take the table.

Be my guest, your majesty.

No, I got it, I got it.

- Don't worry about it.

- Okay.

- Everything is fine.

- Thank you.

Sorry.

For what? Being human?

Don't mind him.

He don't have kids,

and he has no personality.

You know, when you got kids,

things get messy.

I have three.

See? So, you know.

You either roll with it or you get rolled on.

You get rolled on, you get flat.

So, where y'all from? What you doin' here?

Oh, well, we're from Burleson, Texas,

and there's a doctor

at Children's Hospital we're tryin' to see.

Well, Boston is one

of the finest cities I know.

I mean, you ask me,

it is the finest city in the country.

But I might be a little biased

because I live here.

I mean, I'm here.

Of course it is.

But, no, it's a gorgeous city.

- So, yeah.

- Well, good.

Well, maybe we should try

to do a tour while we're here

if we have time.

Yeah. Yeah.

You know...

I'm off tomorrow.

I mean, I could be your tour guide.

Would you like to see the city?

- Yeah.

- You know what?

We can't. We can't.

We don't have time, honey.

I don't know what

the schedule's gonna be and...

- But, Mom, I really want to go.

- It's...

- Well, we're just...

- Mom, please.

We're just hopin' to get

this call from this doctor.

- Mom, please.

- Right, right.

- You got a cell phone, right?

- Well...

- I have a cell phone, either way.

- I do have...

Of course I have a cell phone.

I mean, we don't have to go far.

I mean, I could...

But I could show you

a couple really cool places.

Well, I just need to be able to get right here

- if they call us and tell us...

- I'm a fast driver.

- You should see me drive.

- Mom, please.

Please.

You want to go, baby?

Yeah.

All right.

Okay.

Then we're goin'.

Oh, I'm Angela Bradford.

I'm Anna. This is my mom, Christy.

- Oh, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Angela, you know, how about

you leave the guests alone

and help the rest of us get

some work done here?

These are now my new friends.

This is Anna and Christy.

- Welcome now.

- And they're gonna give me a huge tip

in a few minutes.

- Just kidding.

- I'm sure they don't want you

- to lose the job either.

- All right.

I got to take care of these customers.

We'll talk in a sec. I'll come back.

- Okay.

- Bye.

Bye.

She seemed nice.

Maybe something came up.

What do you mean?

Well, maybe she had to work,

maybe she forgot she had an appointment.

We don't know her.

You know? Things happen.

So, ready to have some fun?

Angela.

Hi.

Hey, sweetie.

So, I was thinking,

why don't we start at the aquarium.

Oh, my gosh.

I say something wrong?

- No.

- No.

Well, come on!

Maybe we should look for a crosswalk.

Oh. Or just wait for

- the traffic to thin out.

- This is thin.

Hey!

- Watch it!

- Out of the way, lady!

Get a life!

What is wrong with you? Oh, sorry.

It's early and I'm trying

to quit smoking.

What are we doing?

Getting in.

I told you, this is a personal tour.

Oh...

It's great.

Let me help you, sweetie.

You know, we could meet you there.

- We could...

- No, I got you.

We could all hop in a cab

or there are buses...

There we go.

After you, beautiful.

I won this garbage can

in a divorce settlement.

I'm getting me a new one

as soon as I get my license.

Wait a minute. I'm sorry.

You don't have a license?

CFP.

I'm gonna become

a certified financial planner.

- Of course I have a license.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, I'll just get in the backseat.

You know, I meant to get that out of there.

So, why don't we just go three across?

Three across.

- Three across.

- Three across.

All right, let's do it.

All right, thank you, ma'am.

- Okay. Off we go.

- Does this close?

Here we come.

What would your daddy say?

Put on your seat belt, Anna.

All right.

Hey. Hey, hey!

Here we go.

That's the Prud,

- the famous Prudential Center.

- What?

- Yes.

- It's so big.

Now, this is very important. Focus.

Fenway Park.

That's a fire hydrant right there.

Nothing famous about that.

Now, this is the famous Beacon Hill.

This is one of the wealthiest

neighborhoods in the entire city,

and it's home to my sweet, sweet boyfriend,

Tom Brady.

- Does he really live there?

- Yeah, he does.

Hey, babe!

Oh, my gosh.

Look at that fish.

Oh, my gosh!

It's so big.

Look at that.

- Oh, my goodness.

- What is...

Aw, look how cute they are.

They'd be even cuter on some rice

with some soy sauce.

Angela, there are fishes here!

You are awful.

Oh, I'm just kidding.

- I really would fry 'em with some...

- Oh, my...

I'm just...

Hello?

May I speak
