Every chance I meet a nurse or a soon to be nurse or really anyone in the medical profession I always go on and on about how I am reminded with every experience where I’ve had a procedure minor or major, how wonderful nurses are. They make me ache to change careers to be that person for someone else.

It sounds like your mom has been in some very loving and skilled hands. Truly they saved her.

I’m so glad to hear that your mom has moved up to Rehab! I share your feelings about nurses — my mom was in the hospital for two weeks recently and now she is in Rehab, too, though she’ll be going back to the hospital soon. The nurses are what can make a terrible experience that tiny bit less terrible because they care so much.

Oh god Liz, I’ve been wondering about your mom, and you, and your family. Hoping against hope that she was doing better and moving on. I’m SO relieved to find out that she’s moving out of the burn unit and into rehab. SO thankful. What a relief!

Nurses are indeed wonderful people. There were nurses I came to know in just the 2 weeks I was in Anchorage with my mom, who encouraged me and hugged me and brought me treats to help me through it all. I felt so alone up there, and the nurses really helped.

So glad your mom has been in such good hands.

Your mom asked me today whether you had made any new blog posts on kids and I just read this. I had to stop and compose myself numerous times as I read it out loud to her. You captured the amazing Burn Center nurses perfectly!

First? Yay on moving on to rehab.

Second? Nurses are a special breed, especially ones that choose that area to work in. It really does take a special kind of person to do that job.

Third? I’m totally crying right now, having read this.

It takes a special person to become a nurse! I am sure that they will be more than happy to have you come by for a visit.

I am so happy to hear that your mom has moved to rehab.

Nurses make the world a better place. I’m convinced of that. Soooo glad they took such great care of your mom….and you, Dane and Sarah.

But also? YAY on graduating to rehab.

Oh Liz, this made me cry. I’m so sorry for what your mom is going through right now. For what you’re going through right now. For what your whole family is going through right now. It breaks my heart.

Next time you go see your mom, put some lotion on her feet. They get dry in the hospital, and the nurses don’t have time for that. Tell her how much you love her. She’ll enjoy hearing that.

I’m thinking of you every day, all the time, hoping that things will get better, much better, very soon.

This Mother’s Day was so special in many ways in this family, but our thoughts and hearts have been with you. You do what you can do because your Mommy knows her greatest accomplishment has been nuturing you into the wonderful mother you have become.
