My daughter means the world to me. I cannot think of anything in my life more difficult than seeing my child unarousable and on a breathing machine.. i am a critical care rn and am blessed to be very experienced, but nothing prepares you for diligently monitoring your child's telemetry, correctly arguing for interventions, and trying to keep the emotions aside for the critical thinking to function. Nothing gets you ready for an ambulance ride where you are sobbing and begging your child's soul to not leave this world just yet, a real possibility yesterday. For looking across at a heartbroken and terrified wife/mother and know that you cannot tell her with true earnestness that our daughter will be alright.
Today the breathing tube is out, and though her mind and body are not fully restored yet, a full recovery appears to be on the horizon.
I reached out on here yesterday begging for prayers, and y'all delivered. It's a small and simple act to say a prayer, send some love, and type a quick response, but no words can be spoken to fully detail how deeply it affected me just to see the word "done" on the thread and or a few word of encouragement. I thank you all for being there for us. So again, feeling inadequate in expression, I sincerely thank you. God bless you all.
