Today my mother called and explained to me that at my nephews (2 month old) appointment this morning they discovered a very serious heart murmur, they are also very concerned about this strange bump that is penetrating outside his gut.

I'm very nervous that something awful could be happening inside this cute little baby's body. I don't quite understand what a heart murmur is, I think I need to do some research to understand.

My sister, his mother, is not concerned about this situation. She is leaving for Maryland in a couple days and wants to cancel all his X ray and Heart specialists appointments till she gets back from Maryland. I wonder how she can not be concerned because if I discovered my 2 month old had a murmur and a lump in his gut I would be freaking out and demanding X rays immediately, I'd also cancel my trip in a heart beat. I don't understand her, I'm scared to think that maybe meeting some guy in Maryland is more important that her baby.

I'm just totally scared right now. I decided to take him while she goes on her trip and take him to all his appointments. The heart specialist appointment is in Bluefield (January, do you happen to know how far away that is from me?). I'm also taking him to get X rays this Friday early in the morning. I hope I don't have a problem getting his medical information released to me.
