DIAGNOSED HEART MURMUR HEALED
As I watched my son play little league baseball, I rejoiced. Two years earlier, I'd been told by a doctor that he should never play sports again because of a heart condition.
At that time, I'd taken my son to the doctor's office for his school vaccinations. My husband, who is not a Christian Scientist, asked that our children be vaccinated, and I wanted to honor his request.
The doctor examined my son and, as he was listening to his heart, said, "Did you know he has a huge heart murmur?" He then began to tell me all of the physical causes and diseases associated with this condition. He also told me that my son would never be able to participate in sports. Although I appreciated the doctor's concern, all the "what ifs" about my child's health came into my thought, and fear set in. At the conclusion of the appointment, the doctor advised me to take my son to a heart specialist for further examination.
