My wife called while I was on a business trip and far from home, saying the school nurse thought our young daughter had broken her foot while playing at recess.
When our two children began attending this school, we made a point to introduce ourselves to the nurse and let her know about our preferred system of healing—Christian Science. The nurse had already had opportunities to observe the health and well-being of our children and the responsible and effective way Christian Science treats and heals disease. When the nurse called my wife about our daughter’s condition, she gave her assessment and recommendation, but recognized and respected that we had a different approach to healing.
My wife picked up our daughter at school and contacted a Christian Science practitioner for spiritual treatment through prayer. Our daughter’s first conversation with the practitioner brought immediate relief.
