A sweet past nurse of ours shared this the other day. It resonated.
Tate has been really really sick especially the last couple days. I knew when she opened her eyes for the first time Thursday night that things were shifting again. Yesterday she needed considerable assistance just for the bathroom and didn’t leave her room. Nausea is unrelenting despite the good meds and chills/sweats are abundant. I’m so grateful for her central line to keep her hydrated with iv fluids, and her J tube gives me a way to give her most of her meds and doesn’t allow her body to instantly get rid of them. And….the arsenal of typically inpatient meds I have access to at home. But I’m ready for the weekend to be over so the team that knows her is available again. Our goal is to get through this weekend at home. It’s been an emotionally draining few weeks.
