This information is for general knowledge, should not be taken as medical advice, and you should consult with a healthcare provider. This is a work of fiction—a holiday fairytale of sorts. The author acknowledges that certain events described in this novella have been simplified or fast-tracked for the sake of the narrative. In reality, dealings with law enforcement, child protective services, and medical protocols follow a far more complex path. Any departures from real-world procedures are entirely intentional, done to preserve the story's pacing, atmosphere, and its core message: miracles do happen, even when everything seems to be falling apart.
