Like many things since Lincoln’s diagnosis, I never fully
appreciated nurses until now. I’m sure I still can’t possibly appreciate all
that they do; but I am much more aware of their sacrifice, dedication and
passion.
I can’t let this week go by without acknowledging their
impact on Lincoln, myself and our family. The nurses in our life have seen both
myself and my son on our worst behaviors and cared for us nonetheless. They
have cried with me as we hold my precious boy down for yet another painful or
difficult procedure. Nurses have humored me as I try to learn everything they’ve
spent years training for in a few short weeks. They have taken the time to
understand Lincoln (and me) and care for us in the way we require.
Their patience with both of us and gentleness as they help
me understand has allowed us to both be comfortable at a time and in a place where comfort can be impossible. While I wish I never knew
this care, I am so grateful that we have it.
xoxo,
Megan
