Matt's mother Julie is a doctor in an American hospital. Hospitals are busy places. Every day, people with broken legs, people with accidents, sick people and mothers who give birth to children will come to the hospital. They usually have to stay in the hospital for a few days, even weeks, before they can recover and leave the hospital. Staying in the hospital for a long time will be boring. Patients sleep in rooms called wards, and nurses look after them. The doctor visits them every day to see if they have recovered and can go home. [Source: Mathematical Physics Network]
Most doctors in the hospital only take care of one kind of patients. Julie takes care of sick babies and children. Sometimes she works during the day and sometimes at night. So, sometimes Matt can't see his mother for days. She was working when he was awake! When this happens, they write notes to each other and say "hi"! Matt's father is a writer. He works from home. So he does all the cooking and housework for the family. Matt is 14. He is old enough to help with the housework. He also helps to look after his little sister Shirley.
