Beatrice’s treatment continued.

She began seeing a specialist at Emory University Hospital, and over time her condition became more stable with the care plan her team developed.

Stable did not mean cured.

It meant there were more manageable days and more room for ordinary plans.

We let her describe her own health rather than making every good appointment proof that worry had been unnecessary.

Timothy began spending agreed weekends with us when it suited Beatrice, his routines, and our home.
