We're gonna count down from one to ten,

and I'm gonna ask you to please

close your eyes right now.

And I'd like you to

take a nice deep breath.

I'm gonna count you from one to ten.

By the time we get to ten,

you should be in a nice relaxed state.

One.

Two.

Take in a nice deep breath.

Let it fill all the way down to your toes.

Three.

Four.

Take a nice deep breath that

fills your entire abdomen.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

You're fully supported.

Your bodies and minds are safe.

By remembering it, we

can release any trauma

from our past and heal.

Ten.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Again, one last deep breath

all the way to your toes.

Two.

And one.

Clare, how are you doing?

- I think I feel better.

- Good.

Anna, what came forward for you?

How are you doing?

- I don't think that worked at all.

- Well, well, well, if

it isn't Lopsy and Mopsy.

- Dad.

- Hey, Dad, no ones told us that

since we were about 8.

- I have to go to the bathroom.

- You two were always

a handful to deal with.

Haven't changed a bit.

Always needed a good clop.

- Mom.

I miss you.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Mom.

- What's going on?

You trying to burn the house down?

- No, Dad.

- I'll blow them out.

Still lying to me like you

always use to, but I understand.

You don't want dear ol' Dad

to know what's going on there?

- Come on Clare, I've got

his prescription, let's go!

- Bye Dad.

I went to the doctor's office,

and he basically put me right on bedrest.

And he said that I have

to go into the hospital,

and then I went into the hospital,

and I was there for three weeks.

They still kept telling me it was okay,

and they kept saying,

"You're okay, you're okay,

"you're okay, and the baby's okay."

And then, one morning we just woke up,

and his heart rate was going really fast.

And now I just keep thinking

there's something wrong with me

and I just go to doctor's all the time

because I've got all these weird symptoms,

like a lot of like physical pain,

and they keep telling me that I'm fine.

So, I don't really know who to trust now.

- Thank you

for calling CHA Hospital.

please hang up and dial again.

- CHA Hospital,

how may I direct your call?

- Could I please

have Jasper Coleman's room?

- I'm sorry, but

unless you know the room number

I can't put you through.

- I just spoke to

someone, I'm his mother.

Can you put me through?

- I'm sorry, ma'am.

We've been asked to block all

incoming calls to this room.

- But please, I'm his mother!

- We all come to this life to heal.

Not just this life,
